Mr. Ryan
The postman was convicted on ten charges of stealing postal packets including one for the address supplied with the Deputy's questions of 24th April last. A concurrent sentence of six months imprisonment was imposed in respect of each charge, the sentence being suspended on his entering into a Bond in the sum of £50 to keep the peace for two years. He was dismissed from the service.
