FINES and costs totalling £189 15s. were imposed on two hauliers at Leeds City Court for offences concerning the misuse of an A licence for a. vehicle operating in the Mahon district
John Craggs, Clayton Cottage, Ebberston, was fined £10, with £15 15s. costs, for making a false declaration to obtain variations of a licence, and Robert Donkin, Eastfield, Norton, was fined £25, with £39 costs, for aiding and abetting. On 24 summonses of using a goods vehicle without a licence, Donkin was fined £75, and for aiding and abetting, Craggs was fined £25. They pleaded guilty.
Prosecuting, Mr. E. WurzaI said Craggs had an A licence for two vehicles. On his application, the licence was amended to cover a substitute vehicle which was painted with Donkin's name and livery. Donkin had an A licence for three vehicles.
The prosecution suggested that where a haulier was too avaricious to buy a business carrying an A licence, he found a haulier in financial trouble and put his vehicles on to that licence.
Mr. R. Paterson, defending, denied that Donkin was too avaricious to buy another licence in the normal way. Craggs had been in difficulty with his business through illness, and Donlan had helped to keep it going, A.B.t.C. PRESIDENT DEFENDS HIRE PURCHASE " 'THE increasing mechanization of transport . . . and the general levelling of incomes and private capital resources have all contributed to the need for hire purchase as a permanent feature of our economy," stated Sir Eric Carpenter, president of the Association of British Chambers of Commerce, last week.
"Provided it is conducted with a due measure of responsibility it can, believe, be a beneficial feature, and the measure of responsibility can be assured if there is always maintained a reasonable initial rate of deposit," he added.
