AN adjournment was ordered at Sheffield last week by the Yorkshire Deputy Licensing Authority, Mr. J. H. A. Randolph, following a suggestion of irregular operation by the applicant, Mr. L. C. Clay, Leedham Road, Sheffield.
Mr. Michael Thorneloe, for Mr. Clay, said he was prepared to go on with the case if there were no such suggestion. One of the witnesses he had proposed calling was the transport manager of the company for whom Mr. Clay was to carry goods.
Mr. J. R. C. Samuel-Gibbon, objecting for the British Transport Commission, said that they were in the difficult position of not knowing where the goods originated, or where they were going. Private objectors did not oppose an adjournment.
Granting the adjournment, Mr. Randolph said that Mr. Thorneloe should have time to take full instructions and that Mr. Samuel-Gibbon should have the information he required made available to him within 48 hours.
CHRISTMAS SERVICES CUT
PER M ISSION was given to Cumberland Motor Services, Ltd., by the Northern Traffic Commissioners last week to cease their Christmas Day services with the exception of those to hospitals and foe workpeople. It was stated that the costs of providing the services were not justified by the revenue. There was also a desire that bus crews should spend the day at home.
Three local authorities objected.
