A wedetremsdroiiifr;;;TnatOevi 1/;;;;;ie Coz, was this
monat brought up for ce.esamination, charged with steal-
log two letters °outlining and also embesiling the sum
of 17f. 13e. 9/, the property of his muter, Mr. Adams, a
solicitor, cowling on his business in Pancraolaae.
The circumstances of this case were of a very singular
character. It appeared that the prisoner had been in the
serves of the proaeoitor for a considerable time, and weed
eionadiese was placed in him, and he was permitted to

Jir. Airs err absent. In September last year
the presereter bad brought an action against a person
named Jackson for a debt of 13:.f. re., And be undertook to
goy the easonnt by instalment., sad gave Mr. Adams 10f.
las sad the remainder was to be paid at an appointed
tins. 1M hokum* of 251. was afterwards sent in a regis.

that the primer bedcawed the letter and taken out the

ited It to hie own nee. The additional
mischief arising from the proceeding war, that Mr.
Adams, finding the mosey was sot Amid, wrote a
letter to the sheriff upon the subject, and the
prisoner contrived to secrete this letter sad wrote 000 him-
self in the name of the sheriffs °facer, etatiag that
as elocution had been put into the dcdeadant's house, and
that the money would in all probability be paid in a day or
two. This hail the effect of stopping inquiry fora short time,
but. at length, the prosecutor finding that the money was
sot paid, commenced an action against the sheriff for nag-
biome, sad this led to the discovery of the real facts, and
the prosecutor was, of course, compelled to abandon the
elks, and pay the costs that bad been incurred.
' A emend are was gone Into against the prisoner in which
It appeared that aaolher party. against whom judgment had
been obtained, paid the prisoner 171. 13s. 9d. to settle se
action and costa, and that be gave him a receipt and appro-
priated the money to his own use.
The prisoner was committed on both charges.

Two young men named Jones Learmaild George Cunning-
ham. the latter a returned convict, were charged with
maaulting and attempting to rob George Whait, a waiter.
The pnwscutor deposed—At about half-past 2 o'clock
this morning on my way home from the Savers where
I am employed, I hail to pass through Wilsonetresta
when I was attacked from behind. I felt a sudden pressure
upon my throat, and was thrown upon my back. As I
looked up I saw the person who had attacked me. I had •
full view of him, It was the prisoner Leary. Another
man with him, but I could not say whether it was the pri-
soner Cunningham or nut. They were feeling in my must-
coat pockets. Cpon the apprcech of the police they ran away.
Watts, 142 F, deposed that he carne up during the struggle,
and the two prisoners ran away. No other persons were
near the prosecutor at that time, though others afterwards
joined in the pursuit. Witmes pursued Cunningham, and
I after a looq chase overtook him. Ae maintained that be was
not the man who had been concerned in the attack on the
prosecutor. Witness asked why he ran away, and he said
he ran like the others in pursuit of the man who hail really
committed the assault. This could not be, as no one else
was near enough to render • mistake possible. Leary was
taken banother constable.
AckriU, of the I division, proved that Cunningham was a
returned convict.

Cunningham said he had been getting an honest living
since his return from transportation.
Both prisoners wcro committed for trial at the Central
