Somme Drury, a milkman, was indicted for feloniously
embezzling several mall sums of money received by him for
and on account of John W. Bauer, his muster. The Awl-
wear, it appeared, had been employed to carry out milk to
hie master's customers, sad had in many iaatar.or, received
the money, sad reported to the promoutor—that t Beres
bad not been paid. The prisoner aggravated hie cane by the
defence he set up Bret, that the customers who proved
the payments to him were wrong in their anartions;
and moomily, that if they had paid him the money he had
duly paid it to his muter.
The jury found him Guilty, and a former conviction
for a like offence was proved against him. The prosecutor
took the prisoner into his service with a knowledge of
this convictim, but with the object of giving him • climes
to regain an honest character, and S. provide him with the
means of earning a livelihood by industry.
The Assistant-Judie mid it was a very bad cede indeed.
The prosecutor's kindness had been repaid with theft, brae
lagratitude, and a fates and scendslous accusation that he
had been paid the money, which there could be no doubt the
prisoner had received and appropriated to himself. The
smteece upon him was three years' penal servitude.
Alfred Steeple, 26, clerk, was indicted for embezzling
three saws of money which be had received on account of
Oserge Bubb, bookseller, of Bond-street, his muter.

by the advice of his counsel he withdrew that plea, and con-
fessed himself guilty. It appeared that the prisoner bed
been selling hie employer's books under price, and keeping
the money. Since August he had so plundered him to the
amount of about 1001.

Mr. &sigh, for the prisoner, urged in mitigation ot punish-
insist that the prisoner had been led into this by distress.
The prosecutor said it was through bad oompany and
drunkenness.
