P c. France said he saw Greenoff riding a motor-cycle along Station Road, Thurnscoe with Newby as pillion passenger. When they returned a few minutes later Newby was driving the machine with Greenoff on the pillion.

Witness stopped them and asked Greenoff for his driving licence. Be replied: “I have not got one.” Witness told him he would he reported for the offence and that Newby would be reported for aiding and abetting. Newby said : “I was only teaching him to drive.”
