The Local Tribunal on Monday dismissed an appeal by Mr Gilbert Robinson, of Hinwick Hall, for a groom and general helper on the farm and in the stables, named Nicholls.

Mr Stapleton, Dungee Farm, asked for a review of the conditional exemption granted to Richard Stapleton, his son. Two other sons were farming, and Northampton Tribunal considered that one other son in their district could do the work that Richard was doing, and that he could be released. The son recommended to substitute this man was aged 33 and married. The conditional exemption was withdrawn, subject to the other brother being given conditional exemption at Northampton.
