THE POLICE COURT&

MANSION-HOUSE.

George Lam', • middle-eked man of respectable appear-
ance, was charged before Mr. Alderman W. Lawrence,
Y.P. (who sat for the Lord Mayor), with embezzling divers
sums of money under somewhat peculiar circumstances.
Mr. Hopwood appeared for the prosecution, and stated
that until Saturday last the prisoner had been in the ad-
vice, as packer, of Ur. Julius Halle, a general merchant,
carrying on his business at Nos. 53 and 54, Houndaditch,
and in addition to his duty of packing and delivering the
cases of goods to the carmen of the different carriers, he
was entrusted with money to give gratuities at the rate of
one penny per package to each carman at the
end of the week for the cases they had severally
taken away. This gratuity was given the men as
an incentive to them to be regular in their calls daily
for the packages. These gratuities were distributed on the
Saturday, and on the Monday following it wee the duty of
the prisoner to account for his disbursements in this
respect to Miss Sarah Martin, who officiated as the keeper
of the petty cash of the firm. It would seem that for some
time past the prisoner had made false returns end thereby
attained and secured to his own purposes small sums, vary-
ing from two shillings to twopence, and thus has defrauded
his employer. Mr. Hopwood added that he should esta-
blish by evidence sufficient grounds fur asking for • remand
to enable him to establish four distinct cans against the
prisoner.
Mr. George Ditcham, the general manager of the ro-
secutor's establishment, Miss Martin, and two carmen in
the employ of Messrs. Pickford, were examined, and proved
clearly two distinct charges against the prisoner.
Mr. Alderman Lawrence, M.P., remanded the prisoner
for • week, and refused to admit him to bail.
Daniel Daniels was charged with stealing • watch, value
4L, the property of William Brisdon, from his person.
It was disclosed by the evidence that the prosecutor, •
jeweller and enameller residing in King-square, Goswell-
street, was waiting to proceed by steam to Harwich, and
was on his way along Thames-street to the place d em-
barkation, when he was held by • gang of young fellows, of
which the prisoner was the leader and the nearest to him,
when he heard • snap or click, and immediately missed
his watch, and on looking down he found his guard chain,
to which the bow of his watch remained attached, ban
down loose. The prosecutor immediately collared the pri-
soner, and with the assistance of his father held him
until the police came up, and the prisoner was secured and
taken into custody. The evidence of the prosecutor, who
deposed that he distinctly saw the hand of the prisoner
leave his waistcoat pocket just as he heard the snap, was
corroborated by the prosecutor's brother and two other
witnesses.

In reply to the Alderman, police-constable Smith, 806,
who received the prisoner into custody, stated that he had
known the prisoner by sight as a frequenter of the neigh-
bourhood of the wharves and in Billingsgate-market. The
prisoner, when apprehended, stated that be was in the ser-
vice of Messrs. Mamamara, the carriers, for six years,
but on inquiry from Mews. Macnamara's foreman he had
ascertained the prisoner had only been in their invite four
months, and had been discharged with an indifferent cha-
racter.

The prieoner wu remanded for inquiry.

A respectably-dres;edlaa, aged i37named Joint Era, of
17, Horseferry-road, messenger, was charged with stealing
three books, three sticks of sealing-wax, blacklead pencils,
and a knife, from No. 6, Edgware-road, the same being the
property of the Electric Telegraph Company.
Sergeant Isaacson said he went esterday morning to the
address of the prisoner, and told him he wanted him
for breaking into the Edgware-road Telegraph-office,
and attempting to set fire to the place. A portion of
a paper screen in the office had been burnt. He said
he did not break in, but concealed himself. He went
in by the street door, which was open at about seven
o'clock. After the office wee closed, he said he came up
through the trap-door, and opening the drawers, he took
the property mentioned. He then went through the pas.
age, and about ten o'clock went into the street, closing
the door after him. He declared he did not set fire to the
place.
Prisoner said he wanted his money, and they would not
give it to him.
Isaacson observed that prisoner also said to him that he
had done it for spite for money owing to him, and the com-
pa would not settle.
MMtilda Travers said the property belonged to the com-
pany, and was worth about five shillings. The prisoner had
been in the company's employ for a few months.
Mr. Mansfield inquired if be bad anything to say.
Prisoner said he wanted his money. He had asked
them properly for it, and was told be had no money to
take. •

Mr. Mansfield told him he was charged with stealing.
Prisoner replied that he did not intend to keep the
goods. He only held them as a lien for his money.
Mr. Mansfield said he was very irregular in enforcing his
claim. He must be committed for seven days.

TION.—Laat evening Mr. C. St. Clair l3edtord, coroner,
