MR. E. A. CROWLEY.

Charge of Receiving Five Letters—

Magistrate Orders Remand.

Edward Alexander Crowley, fifty-eight, described as an explorer of Upper Montague-street, W., was charged at Marylebone yesterday with feloniously receiving five letters, the property of Betty Sedgwick [Betty May].

Mr. Edward F. Iwi, prosecuting, said that certain documents which were the subject of the charge were in the custody of the Master of the Crown Office. Application would have to be made in the High Court for the documents to be produced.

He would therefore call the sergeant who carried out the arrest and ask for a remand for a week.

Mr. Kerman [Isidore Kerman], on behalf of Mr. Crowley, said: “I would like to take this early opportunity of saying that Mr. Crowley has a complete answer to this charge, and I agree with the application for the remand for a week.”

The Magistrate: There is another gentleman rather connected with this case?

Detective-Sergeant Davidson: Yes. So far I have not been able to trace him but I have hopes of doing so in the very near future. He then gave evidence of arrest.

The magistrate said it seemed to be a very simple case and should not last, so far as that court was concerned for much more than half or three-quarters of an hour. He ordered a remand until next Thursday. Bail was allowed in the sum of £10.
