And the Watchful Police:
A Fine of $5
At H.M. Police Court on Monday, R. Bell, of Carter Road, was summoned before Mr. G. W. King for ranking his car in an unauthorized place in Nanking Road, for an extended period, viz., from 4.15 to 5.30 on the afternoon of the 5th instant.
In answer to his Worship, who asked what is the difference between ranking and parking a car, Inspector Kinipple explained that a car is ranked when placed par-alld with the pavement curb, and parked when placed.at an angle.
P. C. Donnell proved the case for the police, and mentioned that defendant's car was ranked between two special notices warning motorists against ranking their cars in that place.
Defendant said that he had a business engagement and did not notice how long he had left his car in the street.
His Worship—Supposing everybody else did this in the Nanking Road! You know how busy a place it is. I must fine you $5.
