A WOMAN who is deaf and dumb appeared at Bolton Magistrates Court after being caught using a television without a licence.
Melanie Proctor, aged 38, of Castle Street, Bolton, communicated in writing via the court clerk at yesterday's hearing.
Magistrates warned that her disabilities do not make her exempt from having to comply with TV Licensing regulations, but did not fine her.
