THE POLICE COURT&

If ARLBOROUGH4TREET.

Mizabetk now of 23, Clifton-street, Notting-
bill, housekeeper to Sir Charles Napier, 8.C.8.,
of 18, Albemarleotreet, was charged with embezzling at
various periods money to the amount of upwards of 2001.
It seemed that the prisoner was for about seven or eight
years, up to last February, in the service of Sir C. Napier
as his housekeeper ; and part of the prisoner's duty was
to settle the different tradesmen's bills monthly, for which
Cu
she received • sum of money from the prosecutor.
rbruery last the prisoner and the butler in consequence
atlas prosecutor having some (*use of dissaisfactioo, were
discharged, and though some suspicion existed that the
prisoner had been somehow making up a purse, still so sus-
picion had been then rancid that the prisoner had carried
on a system of plunder extending over several years. After
the prisoner left, several tradesmen's bills, topay which
she had received the money, were again presented. This
led to investigation, and the result was the d' of
embezzlement of money at various periods exceeeding .
in amount. _ _ _

Sr Charles Napier, examined, deposed that it was the
business of the prisoner to pay certain amounts monthly.
The prisoner every month produced • book in which the
various tradesmen's accounts were enumerated, and then,
when it was examined and the amount ascertained a sum of
money to discharge the various bills was given to her. After
the prisoner left a number of bills from gropers, butcher,
and confectioners, were sent in which ought to have been
settled with the money given to her at the monthly audit
of accounts. When the prisoner was discharged there was
about 61. for wages due to hpr, which she was told to call and
receive, but which she had not done. Thepolice were applied
to, and after some trouble they suome in finding the
prisoner. When he (the prosecutor) saw the prisoner in
:=he asked her were the receipts for the bills were. She
they were in her trunk. He had examined the
trunk, and could find no receipts for the bills in question.
When some of the tradesman were asked why they had not
sent in their amounts they replied they had done so, and
had repeatedly applied without effect for their money.
They had also written letters, but they appeared to have
been intercepted.
Prisoner—He bas not spoken truth. He has not paid
the tradespeople. He never gave me money far it. All
the receipts are there. He owes me wages now, for he has
never paid me. He kept ladders about to break my legs,
and he made me do man's work which laid me up. He then
put me on board wages to save all be could, and up to this
day he has never paid me my standing wages. The trades.
men were only settled with three times a year.
Sir Charles Napier declared that he gave money to the
prisoner every month to pay the tradesmen.
Several tradesmen having been examined,
Hr. Beadon remanded the prisoner till Thursday next.
