MANSION-HOUSE.

Charles Nutley, ;;;;;;talTly-drersedn;n, derwribed aa •
traveller, wail charged before the Lord Mayor with em-
bezzling various stuns of mossy amounting in the aggro**
to about 2001., the property of his employers, Marrs. Cron
and Gordon, tea dealers, of 27 Rood-lane.
Mr. Mullins appeared on behalf of the prosecutors; Mr.
Lewis, of Fly-place, defended she prisooer.
The prisoner was brought up and examined a few days
ago, but the evidence being very inoomplete he was re.
mauled.

From the additional evidence brought forward to-day le
appeared that the prisoner was in the employ of the prime•
rotors as country traveller, at a edify of 35.., with 51. Ss. a
week for travelling expenses, and it wee his duty
to sell goods and to remit the money to Loudon to
Messrs. Crow and Gordon. Last week the prisoner
returned from the country, when he handed over
all the money in hand, and which he alleged was all
he had received. • but upon the books being made up, Mr.
Oran suspected that all wee not right, and in consequence
of that suspicion he wrote down to the country, when he
ascertained that the prisoner bad received about 2001.
from different parties, which sum he had not aceounto3 for
to his employers. Witnesses were now called, and they
proved havinr paid the prisoner various sum, amounting
t0..2001- _ .

Mr. Lewis tried to make it out that the agreement en.
tired into between the prisoner and Mr. Cross was more
that of partners than between master and servant, and en-
deavoured to show that whatever breach of duty it was
on the prisoner's part, it was clearly not an embezzlement.
The Lord Mayor, however, thought different, and com-
mitted the prisoner for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
LOAD W. LINEOL AND THE PICKPOCKETS.

Bdward Turner, who gave the address Old Pve•etreet,
and said he wig a shoeblack, was charged before Mr. Knox
with attempting to pick the pocket of Lord William Pitt
Lennox, of 19, Upper Phillimore•gsrdena, Kensington.
Lord William Lennox said that at 6 o'clock yesterday
evening, he was passing along Old Bond-street, when
three boys, the prisoner being one of them, followed
him, and on turning down Bruton-steeet the prisoner seized
his pocket. He turned round to take the prisoner, but he
docked down and ran off, and, though sharply pursued by
him, was not stopped till he got to Maddoz•atreeet, where a
number of the prisoner's associates got round him (Lord
W. Lennox) and said that it was a shame and that he
ought to let the prisoner go. The prisoner took advantage
of this and again docked and ran off, but being determined
that be should not escape he pursued him, when the prisoner
fell and pretended that he had been run over. Mr. Lock-
wood, auctioneer, of Queen's.terrace, Islingtos, then cams
to his (Lord W. Lennni's) assistance and rendered him the
greatest service, and having got a cab, they put the prisoner
in and got is themselves to take the prisoner to the police
station, not seeing a constable ►t the time. They went on
amidst a shower of minas' t.l l they got to Verrey's door,
when the cab stopped for some reason, and a man tried to
get into the cab and bow:meted Mr. Lockwood. who at his
(Lord W. Lennox'e) suggestion left the cab. He then took
the prisoner to the station, and charged him.
George Castle, 69 C, said he went to the address the pri-
soner gave, but he was not known there. He knew the
prisoner as formerly sweeping a crossing, and on searching
him at the station he found two duplicates relating to
pocket-handkerchiefs.
Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for three months, with
bard labour.

A well.ckessed man, who Pee the Babe of Ra).ort Carirr,
but refused hie address, was charged before Mi. Leigh with
two separate robberies in a church.
Mrs. Hannah Kirby, residing at De Beauvoir•terrace,
Kinpland, said—A new church named St. Saviour, is
Northportatreet, Holton, having yesterday been opened.
I went there, and on leaving perceived the prisoner near
me and a lady in the porch. Soddenly I heard the fall of
money. The prisoner stooped and then ran off. I felt in
my drew pocket and missed a puree, containing a quantity
of silver, also several keys and memoranda.
Prisoner—Did you see me put my hand io your pocket!
Witnem—l did not, and your respectable appearance
would not warrant suspicion.
Prisoner—That's all right- you did not see me, you say.
Mrs. Sophia Cook, Jenkins-cottage, Horton—l was at the
church, and must have bees close by this lady at the time
in question, for I heard money fall, but it was not hers, for
when the prisoner picked it up I perceived in his hand several
half-crowns and a florin. I bad had such coins in my dress
pocket ; they were contained in a small bag purse, and I
missed them before the prisoner ran away. They must
have fallen out of the bog. . .

Prisoner—Did you see me or feel me pick your pocket!
Witness—Oertainly not' but being close to me on that;
side, you must have does so.

money out of %small bag which, after stooping, he ran off
with, I suppose. Two men brought him lock.
Prillolllll —Did you see me with either hand in anyone's

Fritz IN ICINT-STREET, BOROUGH. —ACCIONN'T
TO AN ENOINN.—(THIS DAT.)—Shortly after 12 o'clock •
fire broke out in the premises of Mr. G. Collett, brush
maker, No. 218, Kent-street, Borough. A serious amount
of mischief was done. Whilst the Watling-street engine
was descending the hill at the foot of London Bridge, the
horses, owing to the greasy state of the stones, could
not be palled up in time to prevent a col-
lision with • cab. The consequence was that one
of the wheels of the engine caught the wheel of
the cab, overturned the vehicle, and the front wheels of
the other becoming locked the engine turned on its side,
shooting the firemen into the road, and breaking off one of
the wheels of the engine. Fortunately none of the firemen
or the driver sustained any further injury than • severe
shaking.
DARING ROBBERY.—A robbery of a novel and
most impudent character was committed on Friday at the
farmhouse occupied by Mr. E. Clarke, Swallow's-cross, Dod-
dioghuret. On Friday afternoon a respectably-dressed man,
carryings shawl on his arm, knocked at the door, which was
opened by Mrs. Clarke. He asked if her husband
was at home, and on her answering " No," inquired
wheel she expected him back, to which she replied
"Not till the evening." He then walked into the
sitting-room, closed the door, and, producing • pak
of pistols, said " I must trouble you to show me what
you've got, and if you make any noise I must give you
the contents of these." Mrs. Clarke, who was atly
alarmed, offered no resiatanoe and the fellow proceeded
to search • chest of drawers from which he took •
silver watch and other articles. He then compelled.
Mrs. Clarke to accompany him upstairs, sod outgrip(
one of the bedrooms he walked directly to the bed, and
commented carefully passing his hands over the ticking until
he mine to a bard substance, when he took out his knife and
cut out • beg containing 32 sovereigns belonging to Mrs.
Clarke's son. The fellow then quietly proceeded to fits mat,
but the cut of the garment not appearing to suit him
he threw it on one side, and helped himself to • number
of handkerchiefs and other trifling articles. He then coolly
walked out of the house, when Mrs. Clarke instantly gave
an alarm to her neighbours, who promptly scoured the
neighbourhood in all directions, but without tracing the
impudent robber. There was, we understood, a further
large mum of money in the house, which luckily war en-
tombed. The police have not yet trued the thief.
Chef neon( Chronicle.
A COURAGEOUS LADY.—On Thursday night,
about 12 o'clock, • burglary was attempted at the reel•
deuce of the Rev. Bradshaw, mete of Bneklembury.
Mrs. Bradshaw was awoke by • noise, and approached
the window, whence the sound appeared to proceed, when
she beheld • man attempting to eater. With praiseworthy
couriers she diacharged two barrels of • revolver at him,
which had the dished effect of awakening the neighbours
sad mein the thief to best • hasty retreat Mr. Brad-
shaw was from home at the time,—Ville fitesaderd.

merce of•the port of Liverpool are cited in proof of
the enlarged field there presented for an officio of
