Mr. Wasey is to be permitted to continue to run his horsebox, but may not carry horses to race meetings within a 25-mile radius of Hermitage, other than to point-to-point meetings, and may not carry horses within the 25-mile radius for any person other than those living within four miles of Hermitage railway station, or who stable their animals in that district.
Written Evidence of Little Value. WHEN Mr. T. H. Butler, of WolverVV hampton, applied to the West Midland Deputy Licensing Authority for an additional 2-ton vehicle under an A licence, it was stated that, although he had been in business since 1930, he kept no books and could produce no figures. Nevertheless, the application was granted. On appeal by the G.W. Railway Co., however, Mr. Butler said that, day by day, he made a note of his expenses and gross earnings.
In its decision; the Tribunal points out that the letters submitted on Mr. Butler's behalf were of little value. The appeal is allowed,
