BROUGHT under escort from Dorchester Prison where he was stated to be serving a sentence, William Arthur Hayne, a former Weymouth haulier, successfully applied to the Western Licensing Authority at Dorchester this week for the renewal of his B licence for two vehicles. The application was not opposed. Mr. Hayne withdrew his opposed application for an A licence.
Mr. J. R. C. Samuel-Gibbon, the LA, told Mr. Hayne that in the circumstances it would be very difficult for him to grant an A licence. There were also difficulties in the way of granting a renewal of the B licence but with Mr. Hayne's help these might be overcome.
Mr. Samuel-Gibbon said the way he saw the position was that the sentence Mr. Hayne was serving was probably an adequate penalty for the past.
Mr. Hayne, who made his own application, said the business had not been running for the past few months because there was no one to operate it. But he had been assured by people who formerly gave him work that they would do so again.
Mr. Samuel-Gibbon: "Should I be right in thinking that as a result of what has happened you have learned a useful lesson? What can you tell me about how it will be run?"
Mr. Hayne: "If I get the licence I will run it as the conditions say. I will see that I do not break the conditions again. Records will be properly kept and up to date".
A prison officer, James Alexander Allen, told the LA that Mr. Hayne had been a model prisoner and had worked well.
Mr. Samuel-Gibbon said it would help if Mr. Hayne could obtain letters from people prepared to hire him. If this were done it would be right and reasonable in view of the assurances he had been given that the licence should be granted on the appropriate date.
The LA granted renewal of the licence for two vehicles with effect from March 13, subject to the production of letters and discs of the vehicles.
