THE POLICE COURT&
MANSION HOUSE.
_ _

Edward Bristow, w►to- 1;1 b;;;eoafdeatial clerk to Mr.
Leo, the meat salesman of Laadenball•market, was brought
before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of Joseph Ward
(628), charged with having robbed his emplyer in the most
mereilessmanoer.,
_

TM ner had, it was stated, been confidentially em-
plaid before be got into the service of Mr. Lee, but he
had for some brae been actively eng in the betting
circles, and Ward found in his po betting books,
from which it was evident that he had expended a great
deal of money on the rue emirs*.
Mr. Wontner, who attended for the prosecution, said
that Mr. Lee, being a very aged and infirm mu, had foe
the last four years reposed the most complete confidence la
the penis& who had transacted the whole of his businem,
including the receipt of cheques for the amounts due by,
thou who dealt with the old gentleman. That confidence,
it proved, had been abused in such a manner, that if Mr.
Los did not happen to be a person of very large property,
hi credit, as a tradesman, would hays been perilled,
for the prisoner had played such manceuvres at the
banker'. that complaints of overdrawn accounts had been re-
pe.itedly made, which complaints never ruched the foun-
tain heed, and the consequence sou that notice was Jives
that the banking connexion with him must Nese on account
of that unintelligible neglect of which such nunerou in-
stances occurred. At last the son of the prosecutor, hay-
ing heard eatraurdinary reports, looked into the books, sad
found that from 1.6001. to 2,000'. at least had been stolen
by the prisoner, who, upon being accused, admitted that
he had been fur some time plunging into the property of
his employer, fur the purpose of supplying himself with the
means of backing his favourite horse, at Epsom, Ascot, and
other places of entertainment in that way.
The prisoner said he had no question to ask of the wits
emus, but requested that the Lord Mayor would be so
good as to take bail, which could be brought forward to
any amount.
