A. W. Moore and F. Trengove presided as JPs when Clark of Anburt faced a breach of regulations under the Road Traffic Act. Evidence showed Clark drove along the Spaldine to Jamestown road with the right wheel close to the road edge and failed to stay left, leading to a near collision. Clark defended himself, claiming he kept to his side, while another driver approached from the opposite direction. The case featured testimony on road position and driver behavior, with no final verdict noted.
The court fined Artin Leonart Firrow £5 31s 6d with 10 days imprisonment in default of payment for a collision linked offense. A similar fine and costs were imposed on a second defendant from the same incident. The judge said the case was serious and noted potential harsher outcomes if the other driver had not acted correctly.
