Dr. H. R. Friedlander appeared before Mr. G. W. King at H. M. Police Court last Friday upon summons for improperly driving his car No. 3,017 and passing another motor car going in the same direction in Nanking Road late at night on the 3rd instant.
Mr. R. C. Faithfull, prosecuting, stated that Mr. H. P. King, Mrs. King, and their two sons, one of whom was driving in car 2958 were passed by defendant's car, which in the opinion of the complainant was going at from 30 to 35 miles an hour. At the spot where the alleged breach of the regulations occurred the Nanking Road was under repair and the defendant's car was on the off side and shot in between the other car and the track.
Mr. A. C. King, who was driving the other vehicle, said that the one driven by defendant passed them on the proper side of the road. At the time there was very little traffic about and witness did not think the speed excessive. The paving blocks were up and witness had to go through a very narrow space.
Defendant said he was driving home from the Lyceum Theatre
