MANSION-HOUBB.
Henry r. MOM, 19, was brought up for further examina-
tion en • charge of havlag stoles, 1531. 13a. 101., belongiog
to hie employer, Mr. Arthur B. Whits, West India merchant,
Bergoyard-C
ef hambers, Bneklersbury.
Mr. Wells (Fmon, Curlier, and Co.), appeared for the
prosecution and Mr. H. Wind for the defence.
In the previous examination the prosecutor deposed that
during his absence from town, the primmer, who was in
charge of his office, filled up four cheques for sums amount-
ing to 1531. 13e. 101., Without being authorised to do so, got
theta signed, sad applied the proseeds to his own use.
A clerk from the Union Bank of London now proved
payment of the four cheques referred to, and some of the Bank
of Basked notes paid to those cheques were produced with
itzleonties name endorsed upon them in hi. own head-

Allred nation, city detective, was examined, and said
On Thursday evening last I apprehended the prisoner at
Hlghbury Baru Tavern, in the gardens. I went up to him
and said, ' I believe your cams is Henry Mann." He said
it was not. I said, "1 am quite 'Mailed It la, and I shall
take you into custody for robbing your employer, Mr. White,
at digermt times of various rums of mousy. He repeated
that hie name wee not Mann, but I took him into custody
notwithstanding. At the station I marched hint, and found
on him Is. 3d. in money, • gold watch and key, four dupli-
cates, and some other articles. One of the duplicates was for
a silver watch and another was for a gold Albert chain ; and
among the other articles was a key, which I produce, which I
find file the km safe belonging to Mr. White.
Mr. Chalice White—The gold watch and key found on
the prisoner are my promrty, and are worth 251. The
' silver watch and Albert chain aim resemble a watch and
chain which I hare recently lost. They were eli kept in my •
Iron safe, bat I have not eye& tried whether the key pre- 11

Two pawnbrokers' amietaats identified the prisoner as
laving pledged the silver watch and Albert chain at the
eetabliehomente to which they (witnesee) belonged.
This eanapieled the case against the prisoner.
Mr. Wood seed he should advise his client to plead guilty
to the deem of stealing the wate-hee, hoping the prosecutor
weak! be saltielsd by that, without proceeding on the prth-
cepa elem. The primmer was_a young man who for some
time had been deprived of his father mad unfortunately in
the absence of paternal restraint he hid yielded to the tempta-
tions of London life, and hence arose the difficulty le which
he was now placed. To premed apom the minor awns
would answer all the ends of Jesus,; and he (Mr. Wood)
hoped the court and the prosecutor would consent mercifully
to adopt his suggestion.
Mr. A. B. Whits said he was quite ready to do so.

The case was of a peculiar nature, the prisoner having

Mr. Coz—l think. my Lord, there is some misunderetand-
'nig Co that point. I have spoken to the prosecutor. this
morning, and they have agreed to the course I propose, the
condition being that the prisoner be at once sent out of the
country. and kept out by his friend..
The Lord Mayor—That might be done in a way to convey
all the punishment of transportation without the disgrace of •
ocaviction.

Mr. Con—This lad is the son of molt respectable parents
and is one of ten children, upon the whole of whom the dis-
grace of a conviction will fall most heavily. Hie friends, if
the court and the promrutces consent, are determined that
he shall be mat out of the country, and remain in exile for
eight or to years, and with that view oonimunications have
been already opened with parties abroad, who will receive
him and take oars of him fof some years to come.
The Lord Mayor—lt does not rest with me, but I think the j
prosecutors may lawfully and honourably 'meat to such a
mune upon your understanding that he shall at ones be
