He pleaded 'guilty'. Mr H. E. Gallagher, who appeared for the Post Office, said that the defendant was arrested on leaving the box, and some of the marked coins were found upon him. A detective said the defendant hada wife and four little children, one of whom was ill and not expected to live, and another was in a sanatorium for consumptives. The family lived in one room, the weekly rent of which was 16s. The defendant was out of work. Sir Vansittart Bowater remanded the defendant for inquiries, and gave thefamily help from the poor-box in the meantime.

The defendant was out of work. He and his wife and family lived in one room, for which he paid 16s a week rent. The magistrate said he would like to thank through the Press some generous people who had sent money for the benefit of the defendant's wife. A woman who said she was in receipt of the old-age pension had sent half-a-crown. It only showed that the public did help cases when they knew of them. The defendant entered into recognizances and was thereupon discharged. Times 1 August 1928
