Man to appeal against fine


A CLITHEROE man alleged to have sworn at police as they dealt with a disturbance in Whalley was fined £50 by magistrates.


Da v id C h r is top h e r


Hartley (20), of Pimlico Road, who denied being drunk and disorderly and gave notice of appeal, was also ordered to pay £50 costs. .


; Mr Peter Tidey,. pro­


secuting, ' told the hearing in Clitheroe that although Hartley did not appear to have anything to do with the disturbance involving a , bus party,, he. had. started to shout abusively', at police trying to quell it.


i When'a policeman tried to arrest Hartley he al- lejgedly started to. strug­ gle.' A . dog handler inter­ vened. Hartley was bitten by the dog and needed; treatment. Arresting officer PC


Ste e le told the court Hartley was told several times to be quiet and had appeared “drunk”. The animal bit him when. he started lashing out. Hartley, who denied


being drunk and' using bad language, said he had left the Dog Inn after a smoke bomb was let' off and went to the bus sta­ tion to return home.' He told the court; he


was asked by police to “move on” after he begun speaking to a fellow Burn-, ley FC supporter.1 and was


just going when he felt a painful tug at his leg. He turned'to see what it was and the1; dog “attacked” him a g a in , . biting his chest.

Abbey gambit to raise cash


A BALLOON and ribbon-bedecked 1953 Morris Minor complete with the'Bishop of Blackburn being towed by eight “pawns” made an unusual sight at Whalley Abbey,


But th e sp onsored


“Bishop’s move” from Whalley to Blackburn Cathedral was all in a good cause — to raise money towards installing a lift to help, disabled and elderly people using the abbey Conference House. The seven-and-a-half-


mile move, the idea of abbey manager Mr Derek Hartley,' took just two- and-three-quarter hours, with a half-hour break for lunch. Pulling power was pro­


vided by the “pawns” — so-called to fit in with the chess theme — who were' all connected with the abbey. To ensure fair play on


the mainly uphill journey, the carls rotor arm was removed by-' Whalley garage owner Mr Jim King. The Bishop, the Rt Rev. Stewart Cross, was responsible for steering and braking the vehicle, which belongs to Mr Hartley. Mr Hartley said the


pull had been great fun and he hopes the amount raised — about £1,500 — will mean that the target of £3,700 needed for the lift has'now been reached.
