Farm, Newsholme, near Gis- bum, was ordered to pay an ani mal welfare charity £10,000 in . compensation after he was con victed of neglecting ponies in his charge. The order was made by Black-
bum Magistrates as long ago as July 1997. Speaking in London’s High
Court Mr Layland's barrister, Mr Tim Storrie, explained that “the case revolved around his

failure to care for a number of animals. In particular, it concerned the
welfare of 16 horses that were recovered by an animal welfare charity - the Horse and Pony Association”. In later years Mr Layland -
described by Mr Storrie as “once a man of means” - paid off the compensation order through instalments, whittling it down to £4,679 by March 2009. However, the compensation
order originally carried a six- month payment deadline, which: the 70-year-old failed to meet, and in January last year he was given a suspended sentence for failing to maintain payments.
In March last year, Mr Lay-
land, who the coin!; heard is now a bankrupt and “living on mea gre state benefits”, returned before Blackburn magistrates, urging the court to “discharge” what remained of the compensa tion bill due to his parlous finances. But the magistrates declined

Justice Toulson, sitting with Mr Justice Owen, gave Mr Layland the green light to take his chal lenge to a full High Court hear ing. He told the court: “I t is cer
tainly arguable that there was both procedural impropriety and unfairness, in that the mag istrates did not consider Mr Layland's present financial means, which was the basis of the application. “In my judgment, there is a
compelling reason to grant this application for judicial review, and we do so.” _ .
; The case will now return to
the High Court for a full hearing on a later date, yet to be fixed.

Milestone day marks 65 years of marriage
SIXTY-FIVE years after marrying, a Clitheroe couple have just celebrat ed their blue sapphire anniversary. For Mervyn and Edith
Lord, a whirlwind wartime romance result ed in a long lasting rela tionship. To mark their special
marital milestone the Lords had a quiet cele bration a t the Manor House, in Chatburn, where Mrs Lord has recently moved to. • The couple want to
thank everyone who sent cards on their special occasion and Mrs Lord - who is known to one and all as Edie - said she would welcome visits from friends across Clitheroe to her new home. After meeting in
Leicester, where Mr Lord was stationed as a lead ing aircraftsman with the RAF and Mrs Lord was with the Auxiliary Terri torial Service, the couple had to spend their first years of marriage apart
as Mr Lord went to serve in Palestine. The new Mrs Lord
moved to Clitheroe and made her home with her husband’s family. She worked a t the Brooke Bond tea factory and later at Trutex. After the war Mr Lord returned to the Ribble Valley and resumed his career with the Co-op, eventually becoming branch manag er.
In 1960 the Lords set
up their own business and for the next 29 years ran a grocery shop in St Paul’s Street, Low Moor, retiring in 1989. Thanks to the wonders
of modern technology some of Mr and Mrs Lord’s extended family, which encompasses two sons, three grandchildren and two great-grand daughters, were able to join the celebrations via a webcam. Our picture shows the
happy couple celebrating their 65th wedding anniversaiy. (s)

History in making for heart op patient
A HEART patient from Waddington has helped make medical history in East Lan cashire. Peter Cale, a 71-year-old for
mer design draughtsman; was one of the first in the area to undergo a life-saving angioplas ty operation at the Royal Blackburn Hospital. Until now patients had to
travel to either Blackpool or Manchester for the procedure, but consultant cardiologists Dr Ravi Singh, Dr John McDon ald and Dr Kanarath Bal- achandran can now carry out the operation in Blackburn’s cardiac catheter laboratory.
Equipment used for angio
plasty will soon be installed in a brand-new £3m. laboratory, which will open within the next two months, providing facilities to enable this technique to be carried out routinely in East Lancashire. Mr Cale said: “I t was no
problem at all, you are awake and relaxed throughout, and supported by a really brilliant set of staff. “I t was great not having to
go all the way to Blackpool. Even for the trip to Blackburn I was picked up and taken home by the patient trans port.”
Together with Mr Peter
South, of Barley - who was first to have the procedure locally - he will now undergo physiotherapy and other reha bilitation programmes.. The three consultants have
provided a step forward for heart patients in East Lan cashire. They have redesigned the service and opened the first cardiac catheter laboratory in 2006, which- allowed angiograms to be carried out and pacemakers to be fitted. The new facilities mean that almost all types of balloon angioplasty can be carried out locally.
