DIVISIONAL
COURT
CASES
181
applicant had no defence at all to
the
proceedings.
The
applicant had unambiguously and in
the
Welsh language
admitted his guilt and his counsel had agreed that there was no
defence.
The
applicant had only been stopped when he was
putting forward matter clearly irrelevant to the charge with
the
object of ventilating the complaint that it was not possible to
obtain in Wales an application for an excise licence in
the
Welsh language. Accordingly Lord Parker stated that he would
refuse the application.
Glyn-Jones J. formally agreed. Widgery J. also agreeing
said that he had recently travelled
the
Welsh Circuit and was
satisfied that
the
Act did not confer any right on parties to have
the proceedings conducted in Welsh,
but
in appropriate cases
arrangement would be made for any language difficulty to be
overcome with
the
aid of an interpreter.
In
the result
the
application was dismissed with costs.
CORRECTION
R.
v. Consett Justices ex parte Postal Bingo
Ltd
We wish to remove a false impression which may have
been inadvertently conveyed by a passage in the above case on
page 99 of our April issue where it was stated that
"the
clerk
had gone beyond his duties" in respect of certain incidents.
In
fact
the
Court held that the Clerk to the Consett Justices had
properly exercised his duties throughout.
