ELEVEN PLAYERS OF ENGLAND v. TWENTY.
TWO GENTLEMEN.
_ _

The above heading was first announced as the
match, but the Twenty•two being considered very strong,
some gentlemen amateurs were added to the Players, mak-
ing the number 14. Although late in the lessee, and the
weather rather cold, there was a good sprinkling at sd•
tors at the Middlesex County Ground (Mr. Norris's), Isling-
ton, to witness the match ; and, what is not often the case,
there were several willing to volunteer their services to play,
but no room could be made for them. The Twenty:two had
the batting first, T. Humphrey and T. Hearne starling bowl-
'ing ; the latter, however, soon turned it over to
who, with the former, bowled well throughout. E. Pooley
again showed his ability as a wicket-keeper. The Twenty-
two made an innings of 97, of which Mr. J. Haines marked
16, by a 4, two 3'a, two 2°a, and singles ; Mr. Gladwin, 18
(very ably gained) ; and Mr. Wilson, 10, in which was a
3 and a 2. The rest were single figures. On the side of
the Fourteen, Mr. kfliturin scored 14, in which were a 4
and a 2 ; and Mr. A. Hewett, 14, comprising some fine
hits for two 3's and three 2's. Mews. Backlit, Gladwin
Holt, Gilchriat, Fordham took a turn with the bell.
The stamps were drawn at half-past 5, and the game will
be resumed this morning punctually at 11, the wore
standing as under The Twenty-two, 97; the Four-
teen, 51.

ROBBERY OP £40,000 BY A CONFIDENTIAL

CLERK.

Mr. Lewis, jun., of the firm of Lewis and Lewis,
of Ely-place, applied to Mr. Alderman Challis, at the
Guildhall Police Court yesterday, under the following
circumstances :—He said—l apply to you, sir, on behalf of
Mr. Aaron Salomon', who is a Manchester warthousroan, of
Old Change, end my application is for you to grant a war-
rant for the apprehension of his chief ,clerk end mailer, who
has lately absconded, having robbed his employer to the ex-
tent of 40,0001. Him mode of operation appears to have
been by copying the good bills entrusted to him to lodge at
the London and Westminster Bank, with which bank he
lodged the forged copied and discounted the good bills else-
where, the proceeds of which he bas applied to his own pur-
poses. The clerk, John Allen Thornley, had been in Mr.
Salomon employ for many year past, and enjoyed his ut-
most confidence. Indeed, the defalcations and forgeries
were not found out until suspicion wee aroused by his not
returnieg from his holidays. His desk was then broken open,
and a letter found from him acknowledging everything.
He would put in the information, and then ask the court
for a warrant for the apprehension of the delinquent.
The following information was then read :
" Aaron Salomon* said—l carry on the business of a ware-
houseman, at 35, Old Change, in the city of London. John
Allen Thornley has been in my employment for fifteen year
and upwards as confidential clerk and cashier, and amongst
other duties which be lied to perform he from time to time,
as occasion might require, was entrusted by me with bills
of exchange to take to the London and Westminster Hank,
Lothbury, in the city of London, and there deposit such
bills of exchange as security for moneys to be advanced
nponthem. I have seen the bill of exchange for 9761.3,. Ild.,
purporting to be drawn by me on, and accepted by, Mr. H.
A. Joseph, of 1, Budge-row, Leedom dated the 21st day
of July, 1864, and payable six months after date, which
bill of exchange is produced by Josiah Forsaith, a clerk
in the London and Westminster Bank, and I say that I
never gave the said bill of exchange to the said John
Allen Thornley to take to the London and Westminster
Bank, and the signature' A. Salmons' to the said bill of
exchange, as the drawer thereof, is not in my handwriting,
and was not written by my authority or with my knowledge.
I produce • letter which I found in the desk of the said
John Allen Thornley at my warehouse, of the aforesaid,
which letter is in the handwriting of the said
John Allen Thornley, and the following is a copy
thereof • ' Sept. 28, 1864, Old Cbange.—Sir,—lt is with
the bitterest sorrow sod rename that I feel at length I must
confess to you that having engeged for the last two or
three years in extensive speculations, in order to cover pay-
ments which I had made on my brother James's amount
(independent of the money you so kindly advanced to him),
sod them speculations having only rendered my position
worse end worse, 1 em appalled to find that the total ties
now amounts to above 40,0006 ' • and this sum I have from
time to time abstracted from your business. The
infatuation which has led me on and on it
is utterly impossible for me to explain, the more so
as the whole of the money, to the beet of my recollection,
has been paid away in the manner I have mentioned, and
has not been used toe the porous of extravagance or my
own eUandieement. This my banker's book will clearly
show. I always lived within my biome, and, as you
know, have always worked hard; and how I could have
acted in the way I have done, when I look back upon the
past, lam utterly astounded at myself. You will see that
within the present month a considerable sum has been ap-
propriated for differences, and for this I now specially blame
myself. I may, however, state that most of the parties
hold security. I had a large amount open in Spanish stock,
and I hoped by continuing the thrust to receive a very
considerable sum by the Spanish Palsies and Certificates,
and the securities would thee be relieved. In this lem
again disappointed, end rasher than involve you and
myself further I have now takes this resolve, which
would to God I had done before I bed indicted so serious
an injury upon you. At the end of 1862, the amount then
abstracted wee about 7.6004, lied in November, 1863, it
bad increased to 25,0001. The deficiency to that date is
shown in the green pocket book in my desk. I will throw
no blame on any ow, for I only em responsible for the
injury I have indicted upon you. I trust you will have
strength and health to go through these difficulties, and
that prospenty will still be your lot. As for myself, life is
and can be no logger dear.-1 am your obedient servant,
JICO. A. TBORNLZT. —A. Salomon, Esq.' That I also
found in the green pocket book belonging to the said John
Allen Thorn*, and mentioned in the above letter, • rate-
meet in his handwriting as follows : " The fictitious bills
were rude by tracing the writing over the genuine ones,
and all were written by myself alma'
Josiah Forsaith said—l em a clerk in the London end

Mr. Salomons keeps en account at our hank, and is in the
habit of seeding bills of exchange to our hank as security
for money. advanced upon them. I produce a bill of ex-
change for 9761. 35., Ild., purporting to be draws by A.
Salomon., sod accepted by H. A. Joseph, of No. 1, Hedge-
row, London, dated the 21st July, 1864, payable six months
after date, which bill of exchange is now shown to the said
Aaron Salomon, sod Hyman Aaron Joseph, and which said
bill of exchange was deposited with our bank to the credit
of Mr. Salomon' spirit advances made upon it. The said
bill of exchange was deposited by the said John Allen
Thornley at our bank with others on the 9th of September
Lat.

Hyman Aaron Joseph said-1 have examined the
said bill of exchange for 9,61. da. 11d., and the acceptance
signed with my name is not in my handwriting. and was
not signed by me or by my authority or knowledge,
although it is a good imitation of my signature. The said
John Allen Thornley was perfectly well acquainted with
my signature.
Mr. Lewis continued—On this information I shall ask
you, sir, to grant the necessary warrant for the apprehen-
sion of the men Thornley, as every moment now is of great
consequence, in order that the warrant may be put in force
successfully.

Mr. Alderman Challis at mice granted the warrant, sad
Mr. Lewin and the other geatlemen then left the wart.
