"Joseph Addy" Letters 1845, 1846, 1847 and 1848: Four Entire
Letters: ...di più "Joseph Addy" Letters 1845, 1846, 1847 and 1848: Four Entire Letters: the first from Joseph Addy addressed to "Mr. Rob Clarke Paul in Dursley or relatives" bearing 1841 1 d. red-brown on blued with good to large margins all round, tied by London barred numeral "17" obliterator in black. Reverse with despatch cds (Oct 9) and both Dursley and Stroud cds's (Oct 10) and Tetbury eventual arrival cds. The letter (unusually sent bearing a stamp) from Addy inside states: "The undersigned is able to inform you of something he believes to be considerably to your advantage, on receipt of Twenty Shillings for his trouble by Post Office order on Whitechapel or otherwise...", the letter going on to state that Addy was personally known to each of the Aldermen of London and lists Sir Peter Laurie, Lord Mayor at Mansion House as a 'voluntary' referee of his good character. 1846 (Nov 21): The second entire letter, again in copperplate script with illustration, again produced by Joseph Addy detailing that he had been in the "Felon's Dock" and been found not guilty of "obtaining money under false pretences"...the fascinating document goes on to state that he was also found not guilty of assault by his accuser. At base Addy yet again states that he was "personally known to all the Aldermen of London". This document mailed (unpaid) from Whitechapel to a Solicitor in Dorchester where charged 2d. due to pay. The third entire dated July 8, 1847 sent unpaid by J. Addy to "The Governor & Comany of the Bank of Scotland" appears to have been delived and the requisite 2d. was paid on the following day. In this copperplate letter Addy requests just 5 shillings for his "knowledge". The fourth entire dated October 20, 1847 sent unpaid by J. Addy to a Mr. Bathazar Adams in Dublin has very similar copperplate contents with a request for 20 shillings which would earn the addressee "£100 and Upwards" with even more notables listed including the Bishop of Bath & Wells and the Bishop of Winchester stating that they too could benefit from Addy's information. Struck on reverse with London despatch cds (Dec 22), Dublin arrival (Dec 23) and a fine and rare strike of "♚ DUBLIN / This Letter has been REFUSED / JA 2 1848" handstamp, all being struck in red. Joseph Addy made a practice of sending these letters unpaid in the knowledge that, when returned to him in Whitechapel, he too could refuse them without charge. Thus this Victorian version of a modern 'internet scam' was able to continue un-checked until an Act was passed in 1847 to compel the sender of unpaid letters which were refused by the addressees to pay the Postage. Joseph Addy was the first person to be charged under this new Act. A remarkable and historic group
