YOUNG William Smith tries his hand at archery (s)


A CLITHEROE man who com­ mitted a fraud on Internet auction- site e-bay, obtaining more than £600 from would-be buyers, has been given a'12-month communi­ ty order. Under his sentence, Mark Proctor


(21) of Peel Park Close, will have to perform 180 hours’ unpaid work for the community. He offered mobile phones for sale on


the Internet site - goods which were not received by the buyers - Preston Crown Court was told. Proctor admitted four offences of


deception. Miss Susan Statham (prosecuting)


said the defendant put adverts on e- bay offering to sell mobile phones.


Four people then placed successful


bids that were accepted by the defen­ dant. He contacted the people concerned,


advising them how to send payment. This included not just the cost of the


- telephone, but post and packaging as well. A total of £643 was obtained, one


person ordering two phones. None of the people ever received the


goods. The defendant told police he did not


possess the phones a t the time he advertised on e-bay, but, given time,, he would have supplied them. The offences took place in July and


August last year. Proctor was arrested in January


this year, but no phones had been for­ warded by that stage. He had no previous convictions. Judge Philip Sycamore ordered that


Proctor pay the £643 compensation, plus £300 in prosecution costs. He told the defendant they were


particularly nasty and mean offences. Proctor had advertised non-existent goods for sale. “Sadly, such offences are becoming


prevalent as the acquisition of items over the computer system becomes more commonplace. “Systems like e-bay can only oper­


a te if people behave honestly. You behaved blatantly dishonestly, what­ ever you might say about your inten­ tion to deliver telephones.”

Coniston venue


CONISTON in the Lake District was the destination for a group of Clitheroe Ram­ blers. The trip gave


walkers the chance to enjoy the beauti­ ful scenery and meet others from north-east Lan­ cashire. More adventur­


ous members of the group opted to put their map reading skills to the 'te s t and planned their own rambling routes, while others preferred to take part in guided tours. These ranged


from six to nine miles, allowing those who fancied a more leisurely expe­ rience to enjoy a pub lunch, a stroll along the lakeside and a visit to the many attractions in the village itself. The next coach


ramble to High Bentham, in North Yorkshire, will take place on Sunday, October 8th. Those interested


may contact Mrs Hands on 01282 703597 for details.
