(THIS DAY.)

MANSION-HOUSE.
SERIOUS CRAM' OF zmwsuissam 1
lama Walker, a gentlemanly looking man. was brought I
before .klderrnan'Wilson in custody of Foolger. the detec- I
live °Moor, charged with embezzling large stuns of mosey,
the property of the General Steam Navigation Company,
his masters.
Mr. Cooper. the barrister, instructed by News. Pierce,
Phillips, and Name, the solution to the company, appeared
for the prosecution.
The case was only partially goes into, as the prisoner
was only apprehended last night, but his defalcations are
said to amount to gory large sums, over 2,0001. It
appeared that the prisoner had been in the service of the
company for about four years, at their establ
ment in Lombard street, and great confidence was
placed in him, and he had taken advantage of this
path= to apply very considerable sums which he had
waived on behalf of the company to bis own purposes.
The prisoner was apprehended by Poulin?, the officer, on
Friday night, and when he was told what he was
charged with, he denied having any intention to
defraud his employers. The prisoner, it seemed, was
intuited with a large number of tickets to be delivered
out to pueengeni, and that he was deity in receipt of very
considerable sums of money, and it was proved that he had
kept back large sums of money.
The prisoner was remanded.

CLERKEN WELL
ASSAULT OF TWO INMATES OF CLESEENWELL WORKHOUSE.
Frederick Plummer, seed 14, an inmate of the Cierken-
well Workhouse, was charged with violently moulting
James Green and Frederick Wood, both inmates of the same
establishment.
The prisoner is a most violent boy, and has on more
des two or three oomniees bees wet to the Hone of
Correction for amaults. Yesterday the primmer was
la the oakum room, palling down semis wirr
work, and when asked to desist he beams very violent, and
threw a knife at the man who spoke to him. Afterwards he
threw some pieces of iron at the same man, aud, not outwit
with this mischief, he smelled a poor imbecile fallow who had
sot said one word to him. Both men were injured, and other
pawns would have been served the same had he not been
prevented. It was with great difficulty that prisoner
was restrained and got to the police station. Everything
bad been done by the master of the Clerkenwell Workhouse
(Mr. Thompson) to reclaim the boy but without avail.
He had been turned out of school, had run away from the
deletions that had been obtained him, and the language he
made use of was disgraceful. All the old men in the work-
house were afraid of him, and on many occasions he bad
assaulted men who were much stronger Hien himself.
The prisoner said the men ought to have let him alone,
and then be should not have touched them. The pieces of
wire he tried to pull down were of no nee.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was a violent young
fellow, and would come to be hanged if he did not care.
He should send the prisoner to the House of Correction
for two months, with hard labour, being one month's impri-
moment for each assault.
The prisoner was removed, saying that be would be re-
venged when he came out.
