Summary of case: I am the tenant of Balmoral Mews, with rent of £140 per year, and Albemarle Mews, Back Albemarle Road, with rental of £30 clear, also land in Scalby Road at £20 per year. I have ploughed out this land 5 acres and sowing corn. Including my house my liability for rent is £208 per year and local rates £70-£80. Im married and carry on business in very extensive premises as a Job master, Livery stable proprietor and horse dealer. My business started some years ago with a small sum and the business I have now is entirely through my own hard work. It depends on my personal supervision and control, and if called up for Army Service I would have to sell my entire stock at a heavy sacrifice, this would be financially disastrous to myself and wife, losing the fruits of much labour in establishing my extensive business connections. I keep 15-30 horses; have five landaus, six char-a-banes, One brake, five governess cars, eight rolleys and a large stock of harness and other requisites. I have stabling for over 50 horses and have been stabling Government horses for the greater part of the time since War started. [See also NRCC/CL 9/1/4475]
