The King V Samuel Heron Sen. Dear Sir, As the Attorney General has decided not to
proceed further with this case, and the Prisoner has been
discharged from custody. Is Mr. Stouppe, the jeweller still in this country, or has
he gone to join his family in New Zealand? You will
please make it clear to him, if still here, that he is no longer
detained by the Crown, and that we will not be
responsible for any further allowance for his maintenance.
If the Police have advanced anything for his support you
will submit an account of the expenses incurred in
the usual form. Yours faithfully M Wylie

This is a letter from M. Wylie to T. J. Wallace. The letter concerns Robert Stouppe
(b. 1896) a jeweller from County Down. The letter states that Attorney General James
Campbell (1851-1931) has not proceeded with a case against Robert Stouppe and that
he is no longer in custody. It goes on to inquire as to whether he has left to join
his family in New-Zealand. The letter claims that Stouppe is no longer detained under
the Crown and that the state will not be responsible for further allowances. It then
goes on to state M. Wylie should submit an account of the expenses. There is a side
note from a Sergeant Duffy of the Royal Irish Constabulary, stating that Mr Stouppe
had been informed.
