bieeder told the North Western Deputy Licensing Authority, last week, that he did not want to send his pigs to market by livestock hauliers because of the risk of swine-fever. Mr. D. O. E. Bradley asked Mr. J. R. Lindsay to grant him a B licence so that he could carry his own animals and those owned by his father and six brothers to destinations within 100 miles of FailswOrth.
I-le explained that in the past he had lost •money through his pigs contracting swine-fever. He sent them to Birmingham and Driffield and did not want to take this risk any longer.
For British Railways, Mr. T. B. Atkinson pointed out that no one else had ever complained of this risk. There was no reason why Mr. Bradley should not use York orDriffield hauliers. "
Other objections were lodged by Mr. J. T. Johnson, Mr. A. N. Laughton, Mr. S. Aspin and Mr. F. L. Jones. On their behalf, Mr. J. A. Dunkerley said it was strange that Mr. Bradley had not produced his brothers to give evidence. Perhaps he had carried for them in the past and received payment.
Mr. Lindsay said the case would be adjourned as no witnesses had been called. He advised Mr. Bradley to take his brothers to court next time, and to be legally represented.
