Weekes and Co.) prosecuted on behalf of the Post Office; Albaster was represented by Mr. Parfitt (instructed by Messrs. Smith, Pinsent and Co.) and Palfrey by Mr. Stubbins (instructed by Mr. H. G. Tanner) … (discussion, then excerpt from a letter from Palfrey to Albaster) … “I do not intend to walk out of the P.O. and so lose my living, without having some compensation. It is for you to choose which I do”. On the 28th March, Arblaster’s father having heard of the matter, and young Arblaster having received this letter, Mr. Pinsent, solicitor was consulted and a letter was written to the Postmaster practically admitting the young man’s guilt. It was a very fair letter bearing in mind what had been said by the young lady …  (Arblaster received six months’ hard labour for the initial fraud and Emily a fine of £50 for that and for conspiracy).
