Mr. T. Estyn Jones appeared to prosecute on behalf of the postal authorities . Prisoner pleaded guilty to all the charges . Mr. Estyn Jones said that the charges were taken under Section 9 of the Stamp Act , 1891 , and the penalty was £ 50 for each offence . Prisoner was a native of Montgomeryshire and had been in service in Ludlow . Mr. W. Ton- ley , to whom she sent the post cards and letter , was not only a solicitor , but was Clerk to the Montgomeryshire Insurance Committee and it appeared there was some difference be ; tween him and the prisoner . The prisoner sent two post cards and a letter to Mr. Ton- ley and the stamps she used on them had all been previously used . He could not see the object of this act on the part of the prisoner . Prisoner had been interviewed by an official of the Post Office and had admitted the offence . Afterwards she took up a different attitude and although she was given an opportunity of settling the matter without publicity , she said she preferred publicity to anything else . Prisoner said " I sent them because Mr. Ton- ley sent three letters which I had to pay 2d . each upon . " She had not kept the letters on which she had to pay the 2d . had died .
