BROKER'S CLERK.

MANSION-HOUSE.—(THLS DAY.)
William George Hurst, a well-dressed young
man, was brought up in custody of Detective Sergeant
Webb, and charged before Alterman Sr R. W. Carden
with embezzling and stealing a banker's cheque for 130/.,
received by him as servant to Messrs. Seymour and Elwyn,
of 38, Ihrogmorton-stnset, stock-brokers, his masters.
Mr. Healey appeared for the prosecution, and stated
that the prisoner had been iu the service of the prosecutors
as confidential clerk, and, in fact, so great was the confi-
dence imposed in him, that whatever cheques he pre-
pared were adopted as correct, and signed by one of the
firm. In this way he obtained their signature to a cheque
for 9021. 10s., purporting to be for a cashier of the firm,
and this cheque he paid in to his own account to his
bankers, the London and Westminster Bank. With re-
spect to the charge set forth in the warrant it appeared
that the prisoner received a cheque for 130/. from a gen-
tleman named Payne for his employers, but that he in like
manner paid to his own private account. He subsequently
quitted the employment in April last year, and on the
26th June, 1866, a warrant for his apprehension on this
last charge was issued by the then Lord Mayor, but could
not be executed until yesterday, when Detective-officer
Webb met him in Bow-street, and took him into custody.
When told the charge, he said he had settled with Mr.
Seymour for 2,0004., and had been away in America ever
since. During his absence it had been discovered that
the prisoner's defalcations amounted to upwards of
13,000/.

After some formal proof of the preceding facts, the pri-
soner, on the application of Mr. Besley, was remanded to
Thursday next.

RURREY V. OXFoRI) t'NIVIIRITY.

The annual match between these two elevens com-
menced this morning at the Surrey County Ground, Ken-
nington-oval, on a pair of wickets of the usual degree
of excellence, and the other usual accompaniments
,of fine weather and a fair sprinkling of on lookers.
Mr. Miller undertook the captaincy of the Surrey eleven,
Mr. Collyer making way for him. Surrey was again for-
tunate enough to win the toes, and at 28 minutes past 12
(half an hour at least too late, but not the fault of Surrey)
Jupp and Humphrey were sent in to combat the bowl-
ing of Messrs. Kenney and Miles (both left handed).
Only one run had been made, when in Mr. Kenney's second
over, Jupp hit a ball hand to the off, and started ; this
was splendidly fielded and returned, and the wicket-
keeper put off Jupp's bails before he could get back,
a bad beginning for Surrey. Stephenson was Humphreys'
next partner, but runs came very tardily, and only one two
and singles were made off the first eight overs. The bowl-
ing was of excellent quality, Mr. Kenney delivering seven
oven, three maidens, for seven runs ; and Miles seven
oven, five maidens, for two runs. The next to retire was
Stephenson, who was well caught by Bartholomew at cover
point, having been in some time without scoring. At
1 o'clock, when our despatch left the ground, the score
stood ea follows :
SURREY.—First innings.
T Humphrey, not out
H. Jupp, run out
