Accused of driving a car


without due care and, atten tion, Majcolm A. Johnson (19), of Meadowside, Grindleton, said in a letter to Clitheroe magistrates: “I looked in my rear mirror and put my indi­ cator on. How 1 missed seeing the other vehicle I do not know.” ■

Mistaken identity over car deal, pleads accused


A CLAIM of mistaken identity was made by a furniture dealer who appeared before Chtheroe


magistrates charged with stealing a car valued at £300


i and obtaining by deception a cheque foi a simuai amount


But the magistrates found


-both- cases proved against self-employed Norman Farrer.


(25V of Broadtree Close, Mel-. lor, and fined him £100 in each case- Farrer was also ordered to pay £300 restitution to the National Westminster Bank, a


.prosecution fee of £50, wit­ nesses’ expenses of £14.and legal aid contributions ,of


£72.20. - During a four-hour hearing,


Mr Edward Slinger, prosecut­ ing, said that two people cal­ led'at a house in Broadtree Close, Mellor, in answer to a car sale advertisement in a newspaper. They agreed with a man they later identified in court as Farrer to buy the car for £300 and left a cheque for that amount.- ■ - Later they had second- thoughts but when - they returned there .was no one in at the house so they,left a note cancelling the-.deal. The.che-:. que was; however, cashed but the car'waB not delivered as. had originally been agreed. Seen..by police, Farrer dis-.


claimed any knowledge of the deal although he was iden-;

tified to police by one of, the prospective buyers. Farrer’s solicitor, Mr Wil­


liam Molyneux, claimed in court that his client had left for Eire the day before the alleged offences and returned the day after. It was, he said a case of mistaken identity as prosecution witnesses had spoken of a clean-shaven man although Farrer had had a beard for two years. A taxi driver confirmed in


court that he had driven Far­ rer and a girl to Liverpool the day before the offences and


• met him there the day after. ■" Farrer told the bench that a number of people had been staying at his home and using his address from which to sell cars. He admitted placing the newspaper advertisement but said that one of the men stay­


ing at his home, had in fact seen the prospective pur­


chasers./. The kernel of the case was


one of identity, concluded Mr Molyneux, -and the magis­ trates would have to be very sure that the prosecutiomhad proved this beyond reasonable doubt.


Farrer, who offered to pay ’ - '


the fines,and costs at £100 a month, also had four sum­ monses — two of supplying a car to which a false trade description-was applied, one of making a false statement in an advertisement and one. of making a false verbal state­ ment,, adjourned until today;

present in school work hard in preparation for public exami­ nations, attend regularly and receive every encouragement and support from their


parents.” . Despite the gloomy employ- .


ment scene -that faced last year’s leavers, Mr Morris said he was delighted that the vast majority of last year’s fifth


i form either continued in edu­ cation or entered progressive occupations. As far as.he was aware, only two former pupils were still unemployed. 1 Prizes were distributed by


Mr M. Allen, senior history lecturer at Sedgeley Park Col­

JUDGE ? REDUCES DRIVING BAN BY YEAR


A-■THREE-YEAR- driving ban imposed on,a Clitheroe hairdresser was reduced by 12 months when he appealed against the sentence at.Pre­ ston Crown Court. •


• But Judge William Open-


shaw refused to cut the fine of £250- also-imposed on -Roy Hargreaves (28), for an off­ ence of driving with 310 mg of alcohol, in his blood. It was, he said, a “classic


case of drunken driving.” ' Hargreaves, ,of Bawlands,


Clitheroe, was said to have been seen driving in Chatbum •Road, Clitheroe, in the early hours of July 22nd. He had collided with a traf­


fic bollard and carried on, nar­ rowly missing parked vehi­ cles, before losing control on a left-hand bend and colliding with the wooden gates outside


a shop! Mr Raymond Bennett (for


Hargreaves) said it was his client’s first conviction and he was not a regular, excessive


drinker. The incident happened on


the first Monday of the local holidays, when Hargreaves, a bachelor, had spent the day with a friend he had not seen for many years. Ho now knew the consequences of drinking and driving.


Keeping f i t to music


MEMBERS of Low Moor Good Companions made an enthusiastic start at their meeting on Thursday when they joined in a “keep fit” song, snapping their fingers'


to the music. Winners of a general know­


ledge game were Mrs Robin­ son, Mrs Clarkson and Mr Booth. There was also a “do what it says” game, and Mr W. Hitchen conducted “Amaz­


ing Grace”. Compere was Mr J. Scott


and Mrs H. Bailey played the


piano. Home-made biscuits were


provided for refreshments. Kitchen helpers were Mrs Bush, Mrs Seed, Mrs Foulker and Mrs Tattersall. The next meeting is on November 13th.
