ACTING on instructions from the Divisional Court, Sheffield magistrates last week imposed fines on a coach operator on charges which they had previously dismissed.
Mr. E. Wurzal, prosecuting, said that the Court had decided on appeal that Jethro Dowker, Ridgeway Road, Sheffield, had been guilty of running a vehicle without a road service licence and should have been fined.
" The Lord Chief Justice admits that a previous decision of his was apt to mislead us, and we certainly took that decision into account at the original hearing," said the chairman.
Dowker was fined 10s. on each of seven summonses and ordered to pay costs of £3 14s. 6d.
Another company summoned for offences similar to those of Dowkertaking people on fishing trips—were said by Mr. J. Evans, defending, to have received petrol coupons at one time for this purpose. They were now in an impossible cosition, which they hoped legislation would relieve.
Three partners in the business, Joseph Booth, Joseph Mather Booth and Francis Donald Fisher, of Halfway, Sheffield, were fined 10s. on each of five summonses for using a vehicle as an express carriage without a road service licence, and were ordered to pay £3 12s. 6d. costs.
