    A Charge Dismissed
    At Middlesex Sessions on March 11th Frank Clement Meering, 19, an air pilot, and John Charles Martin, 31, were acquitted of a charge of stealing a quantity of aero place articles from the Grahame-White Aviation Company, Ltd.
    For the defence, Mr. Holman Gregory, K.C., stated that the case had been brought up without consideration or inquiry. The lad was articled to the company when he was 17 years of age, and now was filling up his time before joining the Army by acting as in instructor. He had invented an aero-plane which it was believed, would be faster than any yet built. Having difficulty in getting necessary parts he mentioned the fact at the aerodrome, and it was suggested that he should go to Martin and obtain the necessary goods through the company if they were willing to sell.
    In the course of evidence, Meering said that the wire strainers which it was alleged that he had stolen he had made himself  from wire purchased from the company. He understood that he could purchase from Martin, and had always been ready to pay whenever Martin told him the amount.
    Receipts were produced for purchases which has been made from the company. Lieutenant Culver described how he landed at the aerodrome on one occasion with a burst tyre and borrowed a tube from the school. He said that he lived in the same house as the lad, and it was he, and not Meering, who left the tube (which it was alleged had been stoled0 in the stable.
    Mr. Montagu Sharpe, the chairman, stopped the case. In discharging Meering he said that he was very sorry he had been called upon to undergo that trial at the threshold of an honorable career in which he wished him all success.
    1919 In the King's Bench Division, Mr Justice Bray heard legal arguments upon the findings of the jury in the action brought by Mr Frank Clement Meering, the son of a silk merchant, residing at Finchley, against the Grahame White Aviation Company (Limited0, to recover damages for alleged false imprisonment and malicious prosecution. His Lordship gave judgement for the plaintiff for the £250 awarded in respect of the imprisonment, for £1250 for the malicious prosecution, and for £200 for the costs of the criminal prosecution - a total of £1700. Judgment was entered accordingly for the plaintiff for £1700 and costs, a stay of execution being granted on the usual terms.1919 In the King's Bench Division, Mr Justice Bray heard legal arguments upon the findings of the jury in the action brought by Mr Frank Clement Meering, the son of a silk merchant, residing at Finchley, against the Grahame White Aviation Company (Limited), to recover damages for alleged false imprisonment and malicious prosecution.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
