MANSION-HOUSE

Jolla rhappk, aged 34, reosatly a clerk in the service of
Mr. Hyrax Corcoran, of 36, Marit.lane, stationer, was
charged with stealing various same of money, the property
of his employer.
He was defended by Mr. Lewis (Lewis and Lewis), of
Fipplece.
Mr. B. Corcoran mid—llse prisoner was in my employ-
meat se clerk, and I wee in the habit of giving him •
°snails sum of mousy to pay the workmen, or rather he
counted out the mosey for each man, and I paid it
away. This was dose every Friday, and at the end of
the payments he added up the amounts which he had
entered in • book, and on Saturday morning
I took the balance from him. Finding that the balance
in all eases corresponded with the figures I placed my
initials to the balance, but Idid not add up the various sums,
to see whether the balance was rightly entered or not.
In the book produced the amounts so paid for are
entered on the let Juoe sr 401. 3e. 41sL, but having since
added up the amounts, I find it should be only 351..4.
40... so that he obtained an excess of U. on that day. Ou
the Nth June the entry is 761.34.4 d., but the correct amount
is 76/. 2r. MI., showing • very small deficiency. On the 13th
Jane the entry of payments le 48/.5a. :I‘l., and should be only
4:1/. 5. 3d., showing • deficiency of N., and the next page
no the book shows a deficiency of 11., making GI. for
that week. On the 22nd June, the entry in 821. Ba. old.,
while the correct addition is 761.78.60., making • deficielcy
of 61. 21. 6d. All the OMANI are in the prisoner s
handwriting, and the gamins balances handed over by him
to me only agreed with those false entries. There are
also other false entries of the name kind, and his average
dskeiescy for the last four months has been W. • week. He
remained in my minim till Thuraibiy last, when be ab-
sented himself without notice ; and 012 Monday I looked at
the books and I discovered his deficiencies.

Croesuxiaminel --When I had finished paying the men the
amounts entered in the books were added up, either by the
prisoner or mwe, and the surplas cash was found to
correspond. The surplus cash was then placed in a drawer,
and locked up, and was taken out and be-night to me next
morning, either by the prisoner or my son. Nu Ow, aloe hid
seems to the drawer.

Methanol, police coturtatde depaied that he appre-
hended the prisoner on Wedmeeday afternoon, on V.
borinheoternice, and told the mature of the dame
naiad his, upon which the primoner said " Good God
I hope It is not so serious," and added that if he Lad made
s mistake in the book, it was no fault of hi..
The primmer, who reserved his defence, wile fully cono
natal for trial.
