CRADLEY HEATH,
A POST OFFICS CASE. At the Staffordsbire
Aesizes, on Monday, before Mr. Justice Wills,
Frank Arthur Whitely, a respeetable-looking youth,
en bal. wle charzel s:ealieg a post letter
eouteining twe postal orders for and 4s„ on the
;ttn Septemeer, 1885. at Cradley heath, and also
ih ter,!ing tted utt-eing the said orders with
intent to cheat and defraud her Majesty's Post-
t.-,r-Goneral, Mr, A. S. Hill, Q.C., 31.13., with
Clive wae fo- the prosecutieu, and Mr. Kettle
defended.—lt appears that the prisoner's father is
seb-pestmaster at Cradley Heath. and prisoner was
:.mployed as a clerk under him. On the night of
the Bth September prisoner's father Lisued two
' postal orb re to a person named Troman for £1 and
4s. 'lb- se two orders were placed by Troman in an
envel•pe and addressed to the proprietors of the
Ironmonger. newspaper. As tie received no receipt
for the money he communicated again with the
newspaper proprietors, and ascertained that the
ietter coutainine the the postal orders had not been
re,eived by th m. Inquiries then were instituted,
and it was found that the. o-ders were c shed at '
AsVn Cross. It was then discovered that the '
signature on the orders had been erased. The
orders had been crossed with a banker's name of
" Martin." This had been partially erased, and
some stamps had been dexterously placed over it.—
No evidence was forthcoming as to who received
the money at Aeon Cress All the evidence against
the prisoner was the similarity of the new writing
on the orders and the writing of the prisoner in the
office at Cradley Heath. It further transpired that
prisoner was not in the office when the orders in
question were issued. The evidence was not con-
clusive, and the jury acquitted the prisoner, who
I was discharged.
