This information was brought to my attention by Philip Kirby in his post on British Genealogy https://www.british-genealogy.com/forum/threads/84778-SARAH-ALMA-JACOBS-ALFRED-ABRAHAM-BENJAMIN
Post No. 7
Alfred was charged, along with two others, with Deception and Forgery regarding some Sandwich Island postage stamps.
There appear to have been 29 counts of charges against them, 24 of which were dismissed for lack of proof.
On the emaining 5 counts they were all found guilty.
Sentence for Alfred was Six month's hard labour
Phi Kirby also notes:
The address of 1 Cullum Street is important because it was the shop from which Alfred Benjamin and his partner Sarpy traded from 1888.
