William H Falvey and Edwin Foskett were remanded at Bow Street yesterday on a charge of being concerned with others, not in custody, in stealing and receiving a number of transfer stamps. It was stated on behalf of the Inland Revenue authorities that there had been a leakage in the stamp stocks, and that stamps other than those officially issued had been offered for sale.
POLICE COURTS
Bow Street - Alleged Frauds on the Inland Revenue
William Hugh Falvey, described as an engineer, and Edwin Foskett, of Shepherd's Bush Road, were charged on remand before Sir John Bridge, who sat specially in an Extradition Court to hear the case, with being concerned, with others not in custody, in stealing and receiving, between the 28th February and 1st April, a number of transfer stamps. Mr Highmore prosecuted on behalf of the Inland Revenue authorities. Mr Crow, a draper, of Broadway, Hammersmith, was called, and proved that he had known Foskett for some years, and in March last he received a deposit of £10 transfer stamps as security for an outstanding account and an advance of 30s. Mr Highmore said he had other witnesses to call, and a further remand was granted.

William Hugh Falvey, described as an engineer, and Edwin Foskett, of 52, Shepherd's Bush Road, were charged on remand before Sir John Bridge, with being concerned, with others not in custody, in stealing and receiving, between the 28th February and 1st April, a number of transfer stamps. The prisoner was arrested by Inspector Moore, of Scotland Yard, and declared that he was an innocent agent in the matter, but declined to say from whom he had obtained the stamps. He was remanded from time to time, and eventually, acting under the advice of his solicitor, Mr Crawshaw, of Bow Street, he volunteered a statement to the effect that he had obtained the stamps from the prisoner Foskett, who was a law clerk at 8 Essex Street, Strand. Detective Sergeant Richards, of Scotland Yard, produced three cheques drawn by Falvey in Foskett's favour, and proved the signature of the latter prisoner on the endorsement. Mr Crow, a draper, of Broadway, Hammersmith, was called, and proved that he had known Foskett for some years, and in March last he received a deposit of £10 transfer stamps as security for an outstanding account and an advance of 30s. Mr Highmore said he had other witnesses to call, and a further remand was granted.

Charge of Stealing Revenue Stamps
London Tuesday
Before the Common Serjeant at the Central Criminal Court, Wm Hugh Fulday, engineer, and Edwin Foskett, accountant, were indicted today for stealing and receiving certain Inland Revenue stamps to the value of £50, and also with conspiracy to defraud. The Solicitor-General opened the prosecution, and described the transactions of the prisoners. Fulday had offered several lots of stamps at pawnbrokers, and at the London and South western Branch, Earl's Court and elsewhere. Foskett had an office in the Strand, and was in communication with other prisoners. For the defence it was contended that the prisoners had no knowledge that the stamps were illegally obtained. The jury found the prisoners guilty, but the sentence was deferred, pending the hearing of the other counts in the indictment.
