KENDAL magistrates have remitted to Westmorland Quarter Sessions for sentence an owner-driver who' pleaded guilty to obtaining fuel by pretending he had authority to draw it on a bunkering card, and to stealing a jack, bunkering card, quilt and bonnet cover.
Peter McMillan, of Elba Street,. Ayr, asked for seven other offences of obtaining fuel to be taken into consideration.
Police evidence was that when McMillan presented the card for fuel, the pump attendant did not check the number, but the fraud was discovered when the account was presented to the company in whose name the card was issued.
Mr. S. C. Greenwood, defending, said that McMillan had attempted to start in business on his own account but had run into difficulties. He had acted foolishly in his efforts to keep going.
