Wireless Troubles:  Mrs. Alice Mary Browning, married woman of 9, King Street, Glastonbury, was summoned by Mr. B. O. Clench, a Post Office Official for using a wireless apparatus without having a licence in force between February 1st July and July 7th 1932 … (continues) … Ernest James Hooper, of 93, Taunton Road, Bridgwater, an official of the G.P.O., stated that in the course of his duties on July 7th he visited the premises and saw Mrs. Browning. He found there a five-valve portable wireless receiver, for which no licence was in force.  Mrs. Browning said that she had purchased the receiver about three years ago and had then taken out a licence. The apparatus went out of order, and she did not renew the license. At Christmas 1931 she had the apparatus repaired and had since been using it as recently as a few days before. Engineering officer William Pinsent, of the G.P.O. stated that he was in company with the last witness, whose evidence he corroborated. The apparatus was in working order. A licence was taken out for it on July 7th. Mr. Browning said the licence was allowed to lapse when the receiver went out of order and could not be repaired locally. It was smashed up on the railway when it was sent away for repair and was still out of order. A fine of £2 was imposed.

The Vote: Friday 24th June 1932

Board of Control: The King, on the recommendation of the Minister of Health, has approved the appointment of Miss Ruth Darwin as a senior commissioner of the Board of Control, in succession to Mrs. Ellen F. Pinsent. Mrs. Pinsent, who will retire on July 31, has had a long and distinguished career of public service. She served for many years on the Birmingham Education Committee and on the City Council and was a member of the Royal Commission on the Care and Control of the Feeble-minded, 1904 to 1909. She was an honorary commissioner of the Board of Control from 1913 to 1920 and a commissioner from 1921 to 1930, and has been a senior commissioner since January 1, 1931, when the board was reconstituted under the Mental Treatment Act, 1930. Miss Darwin, granddaughter of Charles Robert Darwin, was an honorary commissioner from 1920 to 1930, and has been a commissioner since January 1, 1931. She is a member of the committee recently appointed to consider certain issues arising in connection with the sterilisation of the mentally unfit. While we welcome Miss Darwin’s appointment as one of the senior commissioners of the Board of Control, we again urge the necessity of including a medical woman as a senior commissioner, just as we urge that a medical woman should be included in the recently appointed committee appointed to consider certain issues arising in connection with the sterilisation of the mentally unfit.
