REPEATED adjournments of three goods applications at Liverpool brought protests from the objectors, last week, when they heard that there was to be another delay because Mr. E. A, Whitehead, representing all the applicants, was unwell. The three applications made up the biggest part of the list to be heard by • Mr. J. R. Lindsay, North Western Deputy Licensing Authority, and he adjourned them again until October 28.
Mr. A. W. Balne, for the British Transport Commission, said that in the circumstances they could not object to a further adjournment. He pointed out, however, that one of the cases had already been adjourned four times. This involved J. and L. Pearson, whose A-licence renewal with modifications was published in May.
There had been three adjournments of a case involving Mr. G. V. Senior, who wanted A and B licences renewed with modifications—an application published in January when the licences expired. Also published in January was the application by Mr. G. H. Cropper, who wanted to vary his B licence by the addition of: "Goods for Tubewrights, Ltd., as required." This had been adjourned twice.
Mr. Balne said the objectors were being put to great expense and inconvenience. At the present hearing there were six B.T.C. witnesses in court. Mr. G. V. Senior, who was in court, said he had not been informed until 9.30 a.m. that he would not be represented.
Mr. Lindsay replied that it was essential that the cases were brought to their conclusion at the next hearing. The applicants would be given definite instructions to appear on October 28.
23 LICENCE CONVICTIONS IN 17 MONTHS
A FINE of £100 was imposed at
F. Newton Abbot, last week, on Hatton Transport, Ltd., Hatton Road, Feltham, when they admitted using a lorry without an Excise licence. The magistrates were told that the company had been convicted 22 times since April, 1957, for licence offences.
Mr. R. J. Raymond. prosecuting, said
the lorry was stopped on the main ExeterPlymouth road on May 10 because the Excise licence was not displayed and the driver said he expected his employers were getting one.
In a letter to the court, the company said they had applied for the licence the day before the lorry was stopped.
