IN VILLAGE CENTRE, OTHERS INTACT Relieving Officer Tempor- ary in Difficulties, Em- bezzled Funds FEARED DISCOVERY Could Not Court Discovery So Retained Funds in Cash A remarkable story of how a re- lieving officer embezzled £564 over a period of 17 years and did not spend. a penny of it was told at Kingston-on- Thames, The accused man was Bertram Augustus Herrington, formerly em- ployed by the Kingston Guardians. He pleaded guilty, and In view of the fact that he had paid back the money and had been dismissed and lost superan- nuation of £200 a year he was bound over for three years. He was also or- dered to pay £20 toward the costs, Mr. R. O. B, Lane, who prosecuted, sald the defalcations arose over a pen. sion granted to a Post Office employe who was sent to the Brookwood Mental Hospital by the Guardians, It amounted to 18s. 10d. a week, Bs, 4d. of which was claimed by the Guan. lans toward the man's main nance, the remainder going to his wife. It was Herrington's duty to collect this sum weekly, and when the wife died in 1922 to collect the whole amount, REPAYS ALL. The pension had been collected, bu fans. When the irregularities were discovered Herrington admitted them and was dismissed. He had repaid the whole of the amount of the de- falcations. Herrington, Mr. Lane added, was very highly respected, and, at his age, would probably not get other employ- ment. The Guardians expressed a hope that the Bench would deal lenlently with him. Mr. 8. C. Littlewood, defending, sald Herrington found himself in dif. ficulties in 1008, and began to make use of one or two of the pensions war- rants. When ile difficulty waa over, and it was no longer necessary to use the money, he was faced with the problem of paying the money back. That would have led to discovery, so he went on from month to month drawing this money, but never using any of it, Bovey penny of it he kept at his me in hard Sash, No She knew of its existence except himself, For about 17:years he had suffered great mental anguish, and he had already had his punishment for his BARNEY BARNATO'S DAUGHTER TOWED Film Actor Becomes Hus- band of Millionairess .
