A LTHOUGH he had a vehicle on C I-1 licence, an applicant at Carlisle, last week, said that he did not realize that to carry race-horses to training grounds and race meetings he must have a 11 licence.
Mr. John Bowness, Church Rigg, Wigton, told Mr. J. A. T. Hanlon, Northern Licensing Authority, that he had nine horses under training, three of them his own. National Hunt meetings were frequently held at places which were difficult to reach by train. In winter he had to take horses to Silloth for training on the sands.
In reply to Mr. F. J. McHugh, for British Railways, who objected, Mr. Bowness said that he had no intention of asking for an A licence. The application was granted.
