Then the police stopped me." This was the hard-luck story told by Alfred Edmund Parnacott, 41, Newlands-park, Sydenham, who was summoned for riding a bicycle at Hawkhurst on July 23 without a front light, without a red rear light or reflector, and without having attached at the rear a clean white surface. P.C. Bridger and P.S. Cloke, Hawkhurst, stated the facts. Parnacott was convicted on the first summons only, and a first offender he was ordered to pay 4s. costs. '[2]
