charged with embezzling several snail of mosey belongiag
to his muter, Mr. William Washy King, niaasfacturing
chemist, No. 16, Percy-street, Tuttenhens-court-road.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor the•
about eighteen months ago he met the primate in a st►te of
the greatest distress, and having known him in good cir-
mnstances when in Liverpool, be offered him a home in
his establishment. The defendant gratefully accepted the
offer, and at ones took up his abode with prosecutor, who
boarded, lodged, and clothed his, and in addition gave him
a moderate salary to perform the duties of clerk and general
servant. For some months prisoner conducted himself with
the greatest propriety, but at length he began to indulge in
habits of intoxication. Prosecutor remonstrated with him,
but all to no avail, and although defendant had commenced
robbing him, he forgave him on two occasions. The defen-
dant subsetneatly conducted himself in such a disgraceful
manner that the prosecutor was obliged to discharge him.
After be had left, the prosecutor went round to his caste-
Men to collect his usual monthly accounts, and discovered
that the prisoner had previouly called upon several of
them, and received bills to the amount of 201., in each case
giving a receipt for the amount paid to him.
The prisoner said he was guilty.
Mr. Bingham thought after the statement he had heard
that the defendant hark acted with great prudence in ad-
mitting ►L guilt. Had he adopted a revers* course, he
(Mr. Bingham)) mast have seat him for trial and he would
then have received a severe punishment. He (Mr. Bingham)
would deal with the ease In a summary way, and commit
him to the Renee of Correction for sismoaths, with hard
labour.
