on botb occasions he took awa his cash-book. About
three weeks ago Mr. Mutton, one of hie masters,
went to see him at his lodgings and got the book from
him. The entries were on up to the 24th of
June, and the castings of the columns were many of
them wrongly stated, and in his favour. The
defala-
lions of the prisoner amounted to between 501. and 1001.,
including two °bevies which bad been given to him for
petty case. His =Mere

one of the columns was added up himself, and that
was to the amount of about 64 He &ranee of taking
a very large sum, but his character had been irreprosieb-
able until lately. His crease for the falsification of his
books was, that hie desk lied been broken open, and be
produced a broken key to the oMoer who him.
He afterwards withdrew that statement, and plaided
guilty to the robbery, hot said be bad been advancing
money to his fallow-clerks.

ciation, appeared for the prisvectition.
The prisoner was • clerk in the employment of Mr.
John Adam, merchant, 24, Laurence Pountney-lame, who
carried on buFinees as Alexander Adam and Sen. It
appeared that the cheque in question was porfootly
Ft !mine so far as regarded the signature, but the °Rance
imputed to the prisoner was that he altered the
amount from RI. to 801. The prisoner was se-
ct'. Joined to (11l up the cheques drawn by Mr.
Adam un his bankers, Means. Dimidale and CO.,

figuic to the 81. cheque without any authority from his
employer.

renting the 6/. cheque, but he knew what the 81. was
drawn far, and did not give him (prosecutor) the money.
Igo did not Fee the prisoner after that day.
