OANS to the group of Alfreton 1-4 haulage concerns under the directorship of E. E. Bamford figured in a case at Alfreton County Court last week. James Bush, director of an Alfreton stockholding concern, and his father, William Bush, a partner, appeared as defendants in a claim by Messrs. R. and J. E. Atkinson, Riddings, for £119,
Mr. S. R. Saffman, for Atkinson's, said they received instructions to repair a lorry belonging to the Bush company. When the work was completed, the company refused to pay the cost of £119 and said that they had not given instructions for the repairs.
James Bush said that Bamford had invited him to become a co-director in Clumber Transport, a company they were to form. He said that his father and he lent money to Bamford.
" I signed his hire-purchase documents. I even made him a personal loan of over £2,000. We have received back little of the money since the liquidation of the Bamford companies," he stated.
Mr. H. G. Talbot, for the Bush company, said that the vehicle had been handed over to Bamford's concern for repair on the understanding that the cost would be cancelled from the sum owed. . Meanwhile the Bamford company were liquidated and the lorry was put in the hands of Atkinson's without the knowledge of either Bush or his son.
Sir Henry Braund reserved judgment.
APPEAL AGAINST OILER • SUBSTITUTION A N appeal concerning the replace ment of a petrol-engined lorry by an oiler 7 cwt. heavier was adjourned by the Transport Tribunal in Edinburgh, last week, so that counsel for the appellants, the British Transport Commission, could obtain further instruction, or so that the Commission could reach agreement with Mr. David Munro, Aberdeen.
Mr. Munro had been granted the substitution, but the Commission contended that evidence should have been led as if a new A licence were being sought, because of the difference in weight. The grant could not be upheld, it was stated, because of differences in the 1933 and 1953 Acts.
1210 FINES FOR " PIRACY " LINES totalling £210 were imposed on I John Leslie William Sansome, The Outwards, Hinckley, at Nottingham county magistrate's court last week. He appeared on 42 counts of using two lorries without A or B licences to carry coal from Cossall colliery.
"You have deliberately been flouting the law and taking • advantages over your possible competitors. We take a serious view." said the chairman.
