THE CHARGE AGAINST A TRAVELLER AT
DUDLEY,
At the Dudley Police Court on Monday. before
the Mayor (Alderman Howat), and Messrs. J.
Russell and Wilkinson, Harry Swinchatt (48), com-
mercial traveller, was charged with embezzeling
£lO 4s, belonging to his employer, Mr. j. Ray-
bould, of the Dudley Flour Mills. Mr. Nathan
(instructed by Messrs. Warmington and Thompson)
prosecuted, and Mr. Godson (instructed by Mr.
Waldron) defended.
In opening the case Mr. Nathan said the prisoner
was a traveller and collector, and among his cus-
tomers was a Mr. Whyte, of Cradley Heath. On
the 10th of March there was a payment of £lO 4s,
and Mr. Billing, the manager, could find no entry
of the male. The ace3unt's' between the parties had
been kept as among relations rather tbad among
business men, and the prosecution might not be
able to prove that the £lO 4s had not been paid,
and the charge would, therefore, have to be aband-
oned, leaving the parties to seek their civil remedy
elsewhere. The parties could not entirely -agiee
upon the amount of the difference (which was con-
siderable) but it was a matter for the Bench to
acquiesce in the withdrawal of the charge. Mr.
Swinchatt had been in the employ of Mr. Ray-
bould for many years. Mr. Raybould was very
aged and very infirm, and perhaps the keeping of
the books had been due to the relationships e/Cst-
ing between the parties.
For the defence Mr Godson said his friend had
very fair'y put the matter before the Bench, but
they had a complete answ..r to the charge. ho
particular sum named in the charge might
not be ente- ed hut if Mr. Swinchatt bad paid after
one collection £3O when be had only received £2O
th,t would dispose of the account. Mr. Swinchatt
had treatel the accounts in the way more of a re-
lative than a business man.

Mr, Nathan cud Mr. wincnatt might have
adopted that system but the firm never recogniFed
it, The Bench might insi3t upon the case bt,ing
proceeded with, but lilt he could prove was that the
£lO 4s was not accounted for on the 15th 'March,
but that on sth April Mr. Swinchatt did pay in
£23 odd, anC., thlt was the case Le could lay before
them. . _

After a long consultation, the Magistrates s-tid
they must hear the evidence.
DI-. Thomas Billing was then called. He said it
was the duty of Mr Swinchatt to receive moneys
and pay them to witness. There was no entry of
£lO 4s from James Whyte on the 10th March; but
April 4th there was a payment of £25 as having
been received from Whyte.
Mr. B Irradale (Mag:strates' Clerk) here inter-
posed on the statement that there was no entry of
the £lO 4s on the day it was received.
Mr. Nathan said he considered the Clerk was
exceeding his powers.
Mr. Barradale denied this, and asserted that as a
serious charge had been preferred, it was the public
duty of the magistrates to 3,-Ef whether there was
any reason for such a charge.
Mr. Nathan said such a duty might be modified
in some casos.

Mr. James Whyte, provison dealer, Cradley
Heat 1,, said he paid Mr, Swinchatt £lO 4s, on the
10t hof March. He did not pay him £25 on April
4th.
Mr. Yithan hk.re stated that Mr Swinchatt had
had the money of the firm in his pocket from the
10th of March to April, and whether thd payment
on the latter date balanced matters was not for a
Criminal Court to decide No doubt the original
duty of Mr. Swinchatt was to pay money in day by
day, but he got into the way of paying in ro nd
sums, and this course was allowed, and there n ver
seemed to have been a balance struck.
Mr. Barradale reminded the Curt that the
warrant was issued on a sworn statement.

Mr. Nathan said he had proved all be could, and
if a loose system had been brought about, Mrci
Swinchatt was to blame ; beyond that he coul
not say a word.
The accused was then discharged, and there was
much cheering in Court.
