§ MR. RAMSAY MACDONALD (Leicester)I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether a Post Office sorting clerk at Walsall is now being prosecuted for an alleged attempt to obtain money fraudulently from a betting agent in Flushing; whether this agent has an English address and was prosecuted by 1461 the Crown, and, on being convicted, appealed; whether he dropped the appeal; and whether the Post Office can do anything to prevent him from still carrying on his business through it, and so placing special temptations before Post Office servants.
§ THE POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. SYDNEY BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, PoplarA sorting clerk and telegraphist at Walsall has been prosecuted recently for unlawfully attempting to obtain £5 by false pretences from a betting agent at Flushing.
