THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.
Henry Francis Richardson was again brought up for
examination on a charge of having, while actsag as secre-
tary to the council of the London Volunteer Rifle Brigade,
embezzled various stuns of money belonging to his em-
ployers.
_r. Humphreys again appeared for the prosecutors, nod
Mr. Sleigh for the defence.
No further evidence was given, but
Mr. Sleigh said he wished to croes-asansine Cal. Hicks cm
two or three points.
Col. Hicks then got into the witnesebox, and in a lengthy
croreexamination said that the primer was introduced to
him in 1858. He was the first to imagest the formation of
the London Bide Brigade, and be was most energetic on its
behalf. They were on friendly terms together until April,
1859, when he began to lose confidence in him, owing to
some reports which he had heard. 3004 had been voted to
the prisoner, but he had never received it to his knowledge.
Alderman Bose, in cross-examination, said that he had
received a letter from the prisoner, stating that as he
should be engaged fora few days, he had thought it better
to band the books and keys over to Mr. Jeffery ; but that
was after the warrant had been granted.
Mr. Sleigh attempted to show that a considerable sum of
money was owing to the prisoner.
Sir B. Carden said that even if it were so he had no
right to appropriate any monies which he had received to
his own use.
Mr. Sleigh (to Alderman Bose)-1 believe that in the
letter which he sent you he stated that he was prepared to
adjust his accounts, and if there were any errors, through
the hurry and bustle of business, it was quite without any
guilty intention on his part
Alderman Rosa--Yes, he did.
Mr. Sleigh—And did you then take any steps to stop
these oceedings?
Alderman Ross—Not at all. . .
