• Solly Davis, a director of the London haulage firm of Charles Poulter, and 27 other men— most of them lorry drivers—appeared at Bow Street magistrates court this week on three or more of four charges of conspiracy. The charges follow an extensive inquiry by the Enforcement Board of the Metropolitan Traffic Area which had been made over the past 12 months.
All the defendants were remanded on continuous bail until January 13, a provisional date for the Bow Street hearing.
All were allowed bail in their own recognizance of £100 except for Mr. Solly Davis, 56, of Amos Grove. Southgate. He was allowed bail in the sum of £500 with a further surety of £500.
The four charges relate to "divers dates unknown" between February 28 and March 21 1968 at Seaway House, The Highway, El.
The first charge alleges that they conspired together and with persons unknown to make false etatements in a material particular in documents authorized or required to be made under the Road Traffic Act.
The second charge relates to a conspiracy to fabricate false evidence: the third to a conspiracy to drive goods vehicles excessive hours; and the fourth to a conspiracy to forge documents.
At West End Central police station on Monday, Ronald Davis, 30, of Amos Grove, Southgate, son of Mr. Solly Davis and also a director of Charles Poulter. was charged with conspiring to breach Road Traffic Act regulations.
