Buntingford Petty Sessions
Friday last, before Col. Sir Charles Heaton-Ellis, C.B.E., Claud Fraser and Capt. H.H. Williams.
No Lights
Percy Hanley, a waiter, of Great Hormead, was fined 10/- and 4/- costs for riding a cycle without a light at Great Hormead.
Furious Driving
Charles Cummer, of 23, Gordon Road, Edmonton, was summoned for furiously driving a horse and van at Buntingford.
Evidence was given by P.C. Gillett who said that on 23rd March he heard a horse and van coming down the high street at full gallop. The driver was beating the horse with a steel lined stock.
The witness followed the van to the bridge where the defendant gave his name as Albert Brown, afterwards giving his correct name as Cummer.
The van narrowly missed hitting a car near the George Hotel, and again at the Post Office.
Mrs Fell said she saw the horse and van coming down the street at a terrific rate. There were a number of children in the road, and as she thought there would be an accident she followed the van down the High Street.
The Chairman, who thanked Mrs Fell for coming forward in a public spirited way, said there would be a fine of £3 and costs.
Licensing
Twenty seven applications for exemption from dog licence duty were granted by the Bench, Supt. Wright stating that the Police had no objections.
