A LTHOUGH he realized that his B 1-"i licence had -expired, Mr. H. Beck, Beighton, near Sheffield, operated a vehicle on haulage work, the Yorkshire Deputy Licensing Authority, Mr. J. H. A. Randolph, heard on Monday. He refused to grant Mr. Beck a new B licence for a 3-ton lorry to carry coal, coke, colliers' coal and furniture within 25 miles of Beighton.
Mr. Beck said he had been a haulier for 37 years, and held a B licence which expired in March, 1957. For three months prior to that date he had been Unable to get a driver, and the vehicle had been standing idle ever since.
Answering Mr. T. B. Atkinson, for the British Transport Commission, he admitted, however, that since the licence expired the vehicle had been used for hire or reward, the last time being 10 weeks ago. He added that other hauliers had been doing a great deal of work for him.
Mr. Atkinson submitted that a licence had been granted only that morning to another Beighton haulier allowing him to carry colliers' coal within five miles. That was the only work Mr. Beck had been doing.
Refusing the application, Mr. Randolph said the vehicle had not been licensed for 18 months, and during that time Mr. Beck had operated irregularly. He had been a haulier since licensing was introduced, and if he did not know by now that B licences had to be renewed every two years he never would.
