Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THEQueen's Bench Divisional Court ruled last Fricfay.that magistrates who convicted Mr. Maurice Beighton of using a lorry with an insecure load were not obliged to endorse Mr. Beighton's licence.

Mr. Beiehton appealed against a decision of Nottinghamshire County Justices, sitting at Workshop last April, who took the view that they were bound to endorse particulars of the conviction on Mr. Beighton's licence. A tarpaulin sheet on Mr. Beighton's vehicle became loose in a strong wind and part of the load fell from the, vehicle, which was travelling on the Myth to Bavvtry Road.

'the Lord Chief Justice (Lord Parker), sitting with Mr. Justice Marshall and Mr. Justice Widgery, said that it had been necessary to consider a number of provisions in a complicated field of legislation. For the particular offence alleged in this case under the Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations, the decision of the Justices was wrong.

Costs of the appeal were awarded against the police.
