NEGLECTFUL POSTMAN
Police officers found in a room at Blackheath, London, occupied by Cyril Munn Mace, 36, auxiliary postman, 1.270 letters, postcards and circulars, of which 315 letters had been opened. At the Old Bailey Mace was sentenced to 18 months in the second division for stealing two letters containing cheques, and a further three months for stealing his landlady’s bracelet.
It was stated that during the war he held a commission in the Royal Engineers. He had been drinking of late and had got into the hands of moneylenders. Mace said he took the' letters home because he had no time to deliver them. He denied that lid had cashed any of the contents.
