London, England, 1852-02-03 00:00:00

Mr. Neetkeelt, the Russian cemmissioner, was here ►e-
alled. and, in answer to questions froin the magistrate,
stated that he had himself paid 4.51., the cost price of the
machine, into Menses. Labhock's banking-house on account
of Mews. Garrett, whom agent had since forwarded him a
minder receipt for the money.
The prisoner declined offering any observations in reply
to the charge, and was remanded for a week.

LAMBETH.
Jose,* Pears" • person of respectable appearance, and
plausible manners, was charged with absconding with • bill
of exchange for 361. 10.., the property of Mr. James
Stephenson.
The prosecutor deposed, that about four or five years ago
he fitted up a shop for the prisoner, and a person of the
name of Grey, for which they were to pay him 131., but
from that tints to the present they had not given him •
single penny About twelve months ago ho (witness) met
the prisoner on London-bridge, and then asked him fur the
money owing to him, or even a part of it. The prisoner
replied that ha could not give him any money, but if he
wanted such a thing as • bill discounied he bad nu objec-
tion to do him a good turn, as it only required his requiet
to certain parties to get the cash fur it. Witness told him
that he was engaged in executing a job at that time, and
that the cash for a bill would be a great accommodation to
him. He then drew • bill fur 36'. 10s. on the firm by
whom he was employed, and gave it to the prisoner, who
promised to get the money fur it. This, however, he
neglected to do, and from that time until that day he had
not seen him.

In reply to the questions of the magistrate, the witness
said that when he gave the prisoner the bill, he also gun
him a direction in writing, to the effect that by a certain
day he should pay over the money to him, or return the bill,
free of all expense. lie, however, heard nothing of the bill
until a few days before it became due, when he received a
communication from a person, named Maack, in hoeglane,
Smithfield, stating the day on which it would be payable,
and hinting that if a renewal was desirable it might be
granted. Witness, however, took no notice of the matter,
and the consequence was that Dunek had stied both
him-
self and the acceptor, and was forcing them on to a trial.
The witness, in conclusion, declared that this affair had
been his perfect destruction; thst it had been the cause
of breaking up his home, losing his business, and he knew
not where it would end.
A person, named Green, the acceptor of the bill, corro-
borated the greater part of the prosecutor's statement, and
said he was present when Mr. Stephenson gave the prisoner
• direction in writing about the bill.
The prosecutor begged that the prisoner, who had been
before in custody on is similar charge, might be remanded
to • future day. Ile assured the magistrate that the ac-
cused was connected with a gang of bill-stealers, of whom
the alleged holder of his bill was one.
The prisoner, who did not deny having been before
charged at this court with bill-stealing, said that the com-
plainant owed him some money for endeavouring to get cash
for his bill, and he had no objection to settle the matter
with him.

Mr. Elliott said he could not permit this, and remanded
the prisoner until Wednesday.
