DETAIL OF CHARGE
The circumstantial letter stated that: Wilson called at the Tarnar to draw his Naval Pension. The sum of $108.20 was pald him by Pay.- LA-Cmdr. Brilton, the Assistant Ac- countant Officer. Wilson then asked accused, who is the senler accountant rating in that office, if he could remit £0 of his pension money to his wife. The accused assented, made out Form S.06 in triplicate for 25 in favour of Mra. Elsie K. Wilson, 3, Larkfield Avenue, Gillingham, Kent. Chiet Engine loom Artificer Wilson signed the form and handed $81.30 to ac cused. The official rate of the Hong- kong dollar was then is. 24.
The accused, saying that he "would give this money to the Paymaster right away," left the office ostensibly to do so. He returned and said to Wilson: "That is all right, it will be forwarded by, the next Air Moli and I will send on your receipt."

Wilson had not then received the remittance receipt re- ferred to nor had he received it since. INVESTIGATED

He announced 3. G. the fact to Lending Writer
that it Jeffery and they observed contained inter alia, all three copies of
a remittance of 25 made by Wilson. They noted that the rema tance was made out in the hand- writing of the accused.
Leading Writer Ellott decided to pursue the matter and, having de- tached the three alicets and locked them up in his own drawer, replaced the remittance book in the drawer in which he had found it. On Octo- ber 8 Elliott interviewed Wilson and then reported the circumstances to Pay-Li-Cmdr. Britton.
