STOLE FROM HER FATHER-IN-LAW
Crediton Woman Fined
PLAINT TO POLICE OF
FAMILY’S ACCUSATION
For what was described by Inspr. W.J.Hutchings as a “particularly mean type of theft,” Beatrice Mary Madge, 24, of 17, Bowden-Hill, Crediton, was fined £3 at Crediton yesterday. She had pleaded “Guilty” to stealing £1 and 6s., the property of her father-in-law, Sidney John Madge, night watchman of 33,Exeter-road, Crediton.
Inspr. Hutchings said Mr. Madge was ill in bed, and asked his daughter-in-law to collect a week’s wages due to him. She was handed a pakect containing £3 6s. 3d., and put it in a drawer.
“INJURED INNOCENCE” AIR.
In a statement to P.C. (War Reserve) Conbeer, Mrs. Madge denied the offence, but eventually said her father-in-lawtold her to take the money for some eggs. She took £1 and three 2s. Pieces. She did not buy the eggs, but spent £1 on groceries, and the 6s got mixed up with her husband’s wages. She thought her father-in-law would be put into the Poor-law Institution and that the authorities would have the money. She did not take the money to rob him, but thought it would come in to buy some things if he went to the institution.
Inspr. Hutchings added that Mrs. Madge went to the police station and said that members of the family had accused her of stealing the money. She assumed an air of injured innocence, and was distressed at the thought that she was suspected of theft.
