His Worship observed that two nights ago he noticed several cars standing on this site, and a number of ricshas. There were policomen on point duty just opposite them.
Inspector Kinipple—The police have instructions to keep them in their proper place.
Defendant stated that he had been parking his car on this site regularly for the past eight weeks, on band nights and also during meetings of the Yacht Club, and there had invariably been a police. man on point @uty. Other cars used the place, and the question of its being an unauthorized site had never been raised.
Inspector Kinipple—If the police have allowed cars to stand at the entrance to Peking Road Jetty they have not been attending to their duty.
His Worship—Defendant has said he has. been using the site for eight weeks, and I have seen cars standing there myself.
Inspector Kinipple~There is no objection to'cars standing there for five or 10 minutes, but not for an unlimited period.
His Worship—I don't see. how you are going to make any distinction. Either the place is a ranking site or it is not. You must have a hard and fast rule. His Worship added that he thought the matter should have been brought to defendant's notice and a warning given before other action was taken. However, as it was not a ranking station, he must enter a conviction, but the defendant would be dismissed.
