CROWLEY TO APPEAL.

Charge of Receiving Letters Sequel.

Notice of appeal has been given by Mr. Edward A. Crowley, the author, following his conviction at the Old Bailey, where he was bound over for two years and ordered to pay a sum not exceeding 50 guineas towards the cost of the prosecution.

Mr. Crowley was found guilty of receiving four original letters and one copy of a letter alleged to have been stolen from Mrs. Betty Sedgwick, an artist’s model, professionally known as “Betty May.”

The letters were stated to have been produced by Mr. Crowley’s counsel in the High Court during an action for damages for alleged libel brought by Mr. Crowley against a firm of publishers respecting a passage in a book.
