• After Holland and Haimen and Cubitts Ltd, motorway contractors, reported to the police that there were certain irregularities in loads of shale being delivered to a site at the M56 motorway, it was discovered that two men, who were then employed as weighbridge attendants, had been falsifying drivers' documents for £1 a time.
This was stated by Mr G. D. Thompson, prosecuting at Altrincham magistrates' court on Tuesday, when Peter J. Jackson and Gerald Gillespie admitted four specimen charges each of falsifying drivers' daily record sheets on delivery of shale loads.
It was stated that in two months the pair made £200 through the offence and the lorry drivers about £1500.
Both defendants said it started with one driver asking for a couple of tons to be added to the daily record sheets and then it got out of hand. Mr Jackson also claimed that they had been pressurized by the lorry drivers.
Both men were fined £25 on each charge and ordered to pay £10 costs.
