STOLEN LETTER
BROTHER WHO TOLD. ’LONDON, July 16. Hora,ce Royal Fielding, of Biggin Hill, Kent, was charged at Tottehhain, N., on Saturday with stealing a letter belonging to liis brother, Ernest Frank Fielding, a baker, of Tiverton Road, Tottenham. It was stated that when arrested Fielding said, “I shall not give up the letter until my brother makes the charge against me.” Ernest Fielding said he missed the letter from his mantelpiece. When he asked his brother if he had taken it he replied, “Yes; but I am not giving it to you. You can have a copy of it.” As his brother refused to give up the letter he had him arrested. Horace Fielding said lie knew the letter came from one of his brother’s “old flames,” and as his brother was now married and still carrying on with the women he thought it right to take the letter to his brother’s wife, which he did. She read the letter and handed it back. He took the letter purely to try and stop his brother from carry* ing on with other women. Fielding was discharged.
