Savanna-la-Mar, Westmoreland
Sixty-year-old Earl Corrie, the
former bursar of the Manning's School in Westmoreland who was
arrested and charged with 40 counts of larceny as a servant and
falsification of accounts, has been given an early trial date -
March 28 -
to facilitate his medical problems.
The date was assigned to Corrie
on Tuesday after he presented Acting Senior RM for the parish of
Westmoreland, Llyle Armstrong with documents proving his illness in
the Savanna-La-Mar Resident Magistrate's court on Tuesday.
Corrie, who appeared in court
without his lawyer, resides in Petersfield in the parish. He was
employed by the Ministry of Education as the school's bursar in 1994
and served as such until September 2005 when an audit was conducted
into the school's account.
Following the audit an
investigation was launched and Corrie arrested on November 11, 2005.
He was later offered bail in the sum of $500,000 with 1, 2 or 3
sureties and ordered to surrender his travel documents.
