Curiosity Corner #184: The law gives Dune stamps, the nod
February 1975
DEALERS DISCHARGED "Stamp Collecting" (UK) reports that at the Central Criminal Court, London, Julian Clive, aged 60, and his son, Michael Clive aged 33, both stamp dealers trading as Southern Stamp Service Ltd., were, at the direction of the judge, discharged on December 6. Judge King-Hamilton addressing the jury, said that, in his view, there was no case to answer and he accordingly stopped the proceedings and ordered the release of the Clives who had been charged with conspiring, together with George Yussuf Koro and Bruce Conde (neither of whom appeared, both living abroad), and others unknown, to cheat and defraud such persons as might be induced to buy certain labels by falsely representing that they were genuine postage stamps genuinely issued by the Kingdom of Yemen, operating a genuine postal system. Both defendants had pleaded not guilty to the charges. |
