Will PM images

Images were sent earlier today. Debbie has not yet accessed them.

The same paragraph as above is all that appears in the Gloucester Echo Fri 15 Nov 1901 found on The British Newspaper Archive but no more.

Also in the Southern Reporter, Fri 15 November 1901

…"for embezzlement, theft and forgery carried out in connection with the deposits in the Savings Bank. The defalcations amounted to £1,155.

Clatworthy was a local preacher of the Wesleyan body as well as a class leader. Mr Justice Phillimore described his proceedings as organised hypocrisy".

No mention of where he was sent.
