THE POLICE COURTS.

BOW-STREET.
Jesus Puck appeared to mower a summons at the instance
of Mr. Daniel Grua, upon • charge of unlawfully appro-
priating the proceeds of a bill of exchange for 1001. The
proceedings were taken under the Fraudulent Trustees Ant,
by which any bailee frauduleatly misapplying foods or
property in trust is liable to the penalties of larceny.
The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Beard, wheitor, et
10, Baeinghsllateset, sad the defame by Mr. Nam* Mak,
i strutted by Mr. Young, solicitor.
Mr. Beard, is opening the cue, stated that though fugal
the circumstances of the case it wee necessary that Mr.
Green, who would be a witeses that day, shoe appear as
taking out the summons, the real complainant was Mr.'
Thomas Cutler, a builder, residing at Pimlico. Mr. Gutter
had occasion to raise gamey is order to pay a sum of SOL
which be owed to a briohnsaker. Mr. Grua, who was an
agent to the bricinsaker, undertook to miss the money upon
la bill of exchange for 1001. Mr. Cutler accordingly accepted
shill for that amount drawn by Green. It so happened that
Green had previous dealisgs with Pugh. He called at the
edam of the latter on the 16th or 17th of Much, end was
emoted for a debt which he owed or was alleged to owe to
Pugh. In this difficulty Green told Pugh that he bad the
bill in question in his pcuession, and that Cutler would be I
disappointed if the transaction was not carried out. He
wished that the bill should be forwarded to Mum. Pita
end Fitch, solicitors, of Usiou-street, Borough, with a re-
quest that they should discount it. Being under arrest he
was precluded from attending to this matter himself.
Pugh then offered to go to Fitch and Fitch with the
hill ; and Green believing that Pugh would act faithfully
is the matter entrusted it to him for that purpose.
The money had never been handed over either to Grua or
to Cutler. It was not known whether Mows. Fitch and
Fitch had declined to discount it or otherwise, but there
was little room for doubt that tbebill bad pseud into other
hands—thou of Mr. England, a bill discounter.
Evidence having bees given in support of this statement,
Philip Newbury Eeglaad, of 30, Polygon, Clarendon.
square, manager of • discount fund, was then called.
Before Wag called he said he knew nothing cif the are ;
but demanded to be paid for his attendance bettors giving
evidence, as his time was valuable.
Mr. Flowers said if the witness had sot attended volun-
tarily he could have been compelled toupees, and he could
not claim costs for his attends/0N se this was not • civil

wort.
Mr. Beard—The plaintiff here is the QUINS, and she won't
pay yon, Mr. England. (A laugh.)
Mr. England was then swore, but his evidence amounted
to nothing. He could not swear whether he bad or bad not
discounted the bill in questios, though probably be bad.
Had discounted several bills for 1001. each for Mr. rush,
probably to the extent of 1,0001. or more, within the last
fortnight. Could give priories information if be bad his
book& Had not brought them because the terms of the
anemone calling upon bias to &Mood were so vague that be
did not know what was required of bin). Would be
happy to produce his books and give every information.
Coild Dot say whether be bad received a letter io neer.
sore to this bill, from • solicitor, and bad replied that he
had disoounted it. Had received such a loiter, and writtea
such an mower, with referees:o to mom bill, but could not
recollect the particulate.
Mr. Beard— We shall animas you for tbe next amenine,
800, with an order to produce your books sod the bill.
Mr. Englaod—You seed not take the trouble. Now I ,
koow what you want, 1 will willingly produce everything
—that is if the t quire it.
Mr. Beard maidcour be coreuld not entry the case further oa the
present occasion, but be thought he had cetabliehed slough
to justify him in asking that Mr. Pugh should be held to
bail for hie appearsoce on a future day.
Mr. Flowers said &fondant must solar into his own re-
oogoicoome of 10N., and td two saretiee of 50). each, and
the owe was adjourned on that understanding to a feta»
day.
