TH:preparation of cases and the resentation of figures are all important in applications before Licensing Authorities. It is also a subject very near to the hearts of the Tribunal, and only last week Sir Hubert, giving a decision in which the Tribunal refused an appeal by F. A. Fountain, trading as Grosvenor Transport Company, of Islington, criticized the way in which the appellant had presented figures to the Licensing Authority.
)uring the Public Inquiry, Fountain in two documents in support of his )lication to vary the conditions of his icence. Both were in the form of a tifying letter from his accountant, first was a summary of gross !lilts and the second a list of earnings Ti his main customers.
