AFINE of £90, with £10 10s. costs, was imposed on Edward Charles Holier, Risdale Road, Ashton Vale, Bristol, at Bristol on Monday, for using his three lorries to carry for hire or reward without a proper licence.
Following a complaint to the Western Licensing Authority that he had been carrying waste material from a quarry, Hollier stated that he had purchased the material and was thus entitled to transport it in his own lorries. The quarrymen, however, declared that Holier was employed by them to carry the material.
Defending solicitor said that his client's business had been ruined by fuel rationing and his debts had become overwhelming. He had offered to buy the material, but learned later that the quarrymen would not agree to his price.
