Buntingford Petty Sessions
Friday last, before The Hon. Baron C.R. Dimsdale (in the chair), Mrs Dimsdale, Col. C. Heaton-Ellis, Claud Fraser, Esq., and Capt. H.H. Williams
No Driving Licence
John William Lawler, of 19, Half-Moon Street, Piccadilly, was summoned for failing to produce a motor driving licence, at Buntingford.
P.C. Williams said he was on duty at Buntingford at 1.30 a.m. on 9th April, when a car approached from the direction of Royston. He signalled the driver to stop, and asked to see his driving licence. The defendant searched in the pocket of the car, but could not find the licence which he said must have been left at home. He said the licence was in order as it was a new one.
Inspector Herbert said investigations had been made by the Metropolitan Police, and it was found that defendant's driving licence expired on 8th Sept. 1925.
The Chairman said a letter had been received from the defendant, who was not present in Court. After consultation, the Bench imposed a fine of £1 and 4/- in costs.
A Rate Summons
J. Franklin, of Buntingford, was summoned for non-payment of a Poor Rate for the Parish of Aspenden. The Assistant Overseer, Mr J. Boniwell, stated that the rate was made on 30th November last, and that personal application had been made for payment.
The defendant's son said they were under notice to quit when demand for payment was made, and he thought it was a legal point whether they were liable to the charges.
The Chairman said that as the defendant was in occupation for the whole period of the rate there was no doubt that the rate was due. On [sic] order for payment would be made, and th distress warrant would be held over for one month to enable the defendant to pay.
