Stephen,
All the cash accounts and any snapshots that I removed from Marine Drive were kept together in the
folder that I believe you have, I did not make a list of the snapshots that I took, so cannot say for sure which are
there now, but I have not done anything else with the documents.I have nothing more.
I do not think that there was a snapshot for every day.
Which days do we have a snapshot for and which are missing ? If you look at the notes of the
interview with Lee on 10th May 2004, we talked through some snapshots and cash declarations, the dates are
given, have we still got those?
I do recall having a conversation with Lee regarding snapshots, I advised him to call a snapshot daily
and check his cash against it. This is a good housekeeping rule for every Postmaster, but not mandatory.
I did not remove any Girobank , deposits or withdrawal paperwork.
Regards,
Cath.

Dear Vicky and Cath,
I attach a copy letter received on 7 June from Mr Castleton's solicitors, for your information. They have asked a
few questions with which I could use your assistance:
1. They have stated that no giro deposits and withdrawals, declared cash/cash on hand receipts, miscellaneous
transaction reports and balance snapshots have been disclosed post 9/10/11 March 2004. Am I right in thinking
this is because we do not have them (because you have sent to me everything you have) and that in any event,
as the transaction logs that Vicky sent to me record every transaction, they do not need thegiros?
2. Castleton states that a complete set of balance snapshots for each days trading until this suspension was
produced and removed from the branch by Cath. Am I right in thinking that:
(a) balance snapshots arenot a mandatory report so Castleton wouldn't have had to print one for every day;
(b) Castleton did not produce one for every day;
(c) For Cath to have collected one for every day she would have had to attend the branch each day to print one
off (because the data would have changed each minute of each day so presumably you couldn't attend the branch
say once a week and print out historical balance snapshots);
(d) Cath certainly wouldn't have had time to attend the branch every day; and
(e) that the P.O sent me those snapshots that Cath removed(in the red folder)?
3. Finally, they have asked for a copy of the P242 form normally signed by an outgoing sub-postmaster on the
audit and handover to an incoming sub-postmaster. Please can you recall whether Mr Castleton signed it and if

so, please can you send to me a copy?
