Newton Urban Tribunal: Mr. W. Vicary last evening presided at a sitting of the Newton Abbot Urban District Tribunal, when Major Oswald-Brown, National Service representative, remarked that it did not seem right that a man of 37 should remain whilst a man of 47 was taken. The National Service were applying for the withdrawal of the exemption granted J. Warren, cellarman and brewer’s assistant, to Mr. W. S. Pinsent. The employer stated that the man had been with him for thirteen years, and was the only man left in that particular department. Major Oswald-Brown: With all respect, I submit Mr. Pinsent has made no attempt to obtain a substitute. The application was refused.
