"There are plenty of themî about," they pointed. out. "Any private citizen can buy an oid taxi that's no longer licensed as a hackney carniage and use it as a private car with an ordinary road fund licence. That's quite But late at night aniyonie seeing such a vehicle would naturally assumne it was a taxi.

But when the Squad car nosed ln behind it there was no hack- ney carniage plate on the taxi's rear. The Squad car swung out of the traffie, gonged the taxi, and the driver had ta stop.
