   The Cumberland Licensing Committee (Compensation  Authority) will present
their annual report at the forthcoming Easter Quarter  Sessions for the
County to be held at Carlisle on Tuesday, April 5th. No  licensed premises have
this year been "referred" for extinction by compensation,  and the committee will
recommend that the ensuing year no compensation levy be  made in respect of
the licenses existing in the county.

   There are four criminal indictments in the  calendar:

James William RIDDICK, aged 24, farm worker, Cross Cottages, Blennerhasset
and George RIDDICK, aged 17, Scales, Bromfield who were jointly indicted for
burglaries at Abbey Town, Blencogo, and Mealsgate.
