I have to report that between 4.40 and 5 p.m. yesterday
afternoon my attention was dram to the fact that two strangers
had entered the Registration Branch and were opening the safe.
Mr. Reed, Mr Poole and myself, who were in the General Office, at
once entered the Registration Branch and saw an elderly Chinaman
and a young boy about 8 years of age. It appears that the China-
man is Mr.P.A.V.Remedios' cook and the young boy the son of Mr.
Remedios. He had given them the keys and told them to take some money "his om private property" out of one of the two small drawers in the safe. I immediately took the keys away from his
son. Having satisfied myself that there was no dishonest inten-
tion I allowed them to depart. I might here mention that Post-
man No.43 let them in the office. I would have charged the two
of them; but as they were perfectly innocent, I deemed it better
to let them go, and for you to deal with the matter departmentally
For the same reason I did not let you know by telephone. The
operators can hear and talk. I have returned Mr. Remedios his
keys for the time being and might add that I considered his
action tantamount to criminal madness.
Sd. 7. Martin
Superintendent
Registration and Parcel Branch
12th October, 1914.
Mr. Martin states: Mr.Remedios takes duty from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. He therefore opens the Registration Branch at 7 am. and for this purpose he is provided with a key giving access to the Registration and Parcel Branch. He also has the key of the
insured letter safe and it was in this safe he had some
private money. It was with these keys that the Chinese cook and his son obtained access to the Registration and Parcel Branch.
