NOVEL EXCUSE CUCKFIELD.

That ‘he thought the licence went on for all time’ was the excuse offered by George Walter Ellis, the Albion Hotel, Eastbourne, who was summoned for driving a car without a licence at Cuckfield on June 5th. He was fined £2, and was also fined £1 for exceeding the speed limit in a built -up area. PC Marshall gave evidence.
