No food in house so man stole from meter


When there was no food left in his house and he had


not eaten fo r two days, a man stole £9 18s. from the electri­ city meter in his home, Clitheroe magistrates heard last week.


James William Calvert, 26, of


Whalley Road, Clitheroe, denied stealing the money, the pro­ perty of the North Western Electricity Board.


He was found guilty and fined


£25. Insp. T. J. Sumner said that


a meter inspector from the board visited Calvert’s home and found the money box mis­ sing and the lock broken.


DC Derek Holcroft said that


after enquiries had been com­ menced, Calvert was seen at Clitheroe Police Station.


Calvert told him that he had


taken the money. He told him: “ I couldn’t seem to manage and there was no food In the house. I was hungry, it was silly,

D I S Q U A L I F I E D A Blackburn man was fined £50 and disqualified from


driving fo r 12 months by Clitheroe Magistrates yesterday, when he admitted driving with above the prescribed limit o f


alcohol in his blood.


Hozier Street, Blackburn, was also ordered to pay seven guineas advocate’s fee and five guineas doctor’s fee.


Frank Milton Clegg, 46, of Mr. W. D. Greenwood, prose­


cuting, said that at 11-20 p.m. on Saturday August 3, Fc Yates who was on duty in King Street, Whatley, was told to keep observation for a Ford car, driven by the defendant. Two minutes later, It came


through Whalley with a long queue of traffic behind It. The car turned into the bus


station, and there he agreed to give Pc. Yates a sample of his breath. He was taken to


Clitheroe police station, where he agreed to have a blood sam­


ple taken. This later showed that the


blood-alcohol ratio was 245 milligrammes of alcohol to 100 millilitres of blood. The pres­ cribed level is 80/100. When charged, Clegg wrote


on the charge sheet, “You have done your duty.” Mr, Greenwood said that it


was only fair to add that Clegg gave the police no trouble what­ soever. In court, Clegg said that he would lose his job as a tanker driver if his licence was disqualified. " It was just one of those things,” he said.


fo r liis car After getting into financial


difficulties, a 35-year-old Nelson engineer used an ex­ cise licence from a dumper truck on his private car, Clitheroe magistrates heard yesterday week.


Donald Smith, of Spring


Street pleaded guilty to steal­ ing the excise license, fraudulently altering it, and to fraudulently using it on his car.


He was given a conditional


discharge in each case. Insp.. T. J. Sumner said that the license came from a dum­


per truck owned by Sunderland County Council and delivered to Atkin sons of clitheroe Ltd.


Two police officers at Nelson


later saw the licence displayed on an A35 saloon owned by Smith.


When seen. Smith admitted


the offences and said in statement: “During the year I have run into extreme finan­ cial difficulties,


“A few weeks ago I found the


tax disc lying on the floor at work. Last week I got sacked from work and was really short.


“I altered the tax so It would fit my car, and stuck it on the window.”


In court, smith said he had


been extremely foolish. He had no previous convictions and regretted what be had done.
