THEScottish deputy Licensing Authority, Mr. A. B. Birnie, at Aberdeen last week said he wai "appalled ." at the irregular use an Aberdeenshire firm of hauliers had been making of vehicles in breach of their official licence. He made tlie comment when considering an application by Cheyne and Thompson, of Kintor, for permission to carry paper from Inverrurie to ,London and district, as well as agricultural goods and requisites, excluding livestock, within Aberdeenshire to Glasgow and the Midlands of England. The application was made for the continuation of an A licence and for a new A licence in place of two already held. British Railways objected.

Reserving judgment, the deputy L.A. said there were features in the case which he would like to think over. He warned Mr. P. P. Cheyne, who also operates a haulage business in his own name, that it might be necessary for him to inflict some penalty, such as the suspension of the licence. Giving evidence, Mr. Cheyne admitted there had been a breach of the firm's licensing conditions. But he pointed out that he himself had been licensed to carry the paper for Tait and Sons, of Inverrurie, and he had used vehicles of the subsidiary company of Cheyne and Thompson to handle it.

For the applicants, Mr. W. D. Connochie, submitted that it was not the usual case of a breach of licence.

Two Granted A T Dundee last week two A-licence Ik applications by Mr. H. B. S. Lawson. of Broughty Ferry, were granted by the Scottish deputy Licensing Authority, Mr. A. B. Birnie. The applicant sought the continuation of one A licence with the extension of the normal user to allow for the carriage of bulk liquids in central Scotland, and an A licence to replace four . others to include bulk liquids in Scotland and the north of England.
