A WIFE’S LETTERS
NO INTERFERENCE PERMITTED HUSBAND CHARGED AT COURT Any husband who interferes with' his wife's letters should know that the law is a stern guardian of correspondence. Samuel John Hale and a woman whose name was suppressed were charged with forging an order for redirection of letters, stealing a letter, and further with wilfully delaying a postal packet. Chief-Detective Hammond said that accused, who was living with his wife at Point Chevalier, went away to Beachlands at Chirstmas time with another woman. Thinking that remittance money from Australia was being delayed, the man got the woman accused to sign his wife’s name to a redirection form which authorised Point Chevalier correspondence to be sent to Beachlands. Mrs. Hale, in evidence, said she married her husband last November, and he went away on Christmas Day for two weeks. She knew that her correspondence had been interfered with when she found a re-directed letter in her husband’s pocket after his return. (Proceeding.)
