James Lary Patio* described as a clerk, was la--
dieted for having feloniously embezzled several lams o
money, amounting together to about 6001., which he had

their service as welder sad in that capacity he received
rentals of estates, of which it appeared he had appropriated

charged the prisoner admitted that he had embezzled
mem to the large amount of 5001. His salary was 1601.
