Central Somerset Gazette: Friday 26th August 1932

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.
