Default 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.
