business at Ressel-strest, Covent-garden, was placed at
the bar on remand, on seventy charges of embezzlement
The prisoner was taken into custody by Sergeant Reidy, of
the F division. On the previous occasion two charges
were preferred against him—one of embezzling IL, and
the other 10e. It was the duty of the prisoner to make
entries of weekly instalments of customers receiving goods
on credit, and pay the account over to the cashier The
prisoner had snared the sums entered to a lower amount,
and kept the difference. On the present examination
three charges of embezzlement were gone into, and anothor
of stealing a chest of drawers!, valued 21. It appears a
Mrs. Simpson advanced the prisoner two separate sums of
It. for the article, and the prisoner without authority, or
even mentioning the circumstance to Mr. Rees, forwarded
the chest to Mm. Simpson, and never entered the amount
received in the book it all. _ _ _

WORSHIP-STREET.

On the 12th September last a boy named Pascal! was
brought before Mr. Ellison at this court on a ika-ge of
felony, and sentenced to 14 da imprisonment. In the
rouses of the examination it that on being
searched the prisoner was found to have been in possession
of a publication entitled " The Boys of England," and two
others headed " Tales of Highwaymen, or Life on the
Road." The magistrate, on looking over the publications
mentioned, remarked the absence from them of the
printer's name or address, the publishing office
be 147, Fleet-street, but that was all, and
he, bearing in mind " the mischievous and cor-
rupting effects the reading of such publica-
tions produced on the youth of this country," desired In-
spector Fyfe, of the 0 division, to bring the omission he
had mentioned under the notice of the commissionere of

the City pohoe, in order that steps might be taken to pro-
secute the printer for the same, as under the Act of Par-
liament 2nd and 3rd Vic., cap. 12, sec. 2, he had rendered
himself to a penalty of U. for every copy sold. Yesterday
Mr. Ellison, addr • our reporter from the bench, said
that he had received a from a person named Brett, •
publisherkif 1474 Fleet-street, who stated that in C.:111W
queues of a report of the stove case, which appeared in the
daily papers, an injustice had been done him in respect
of his Journal. "The Boys of England,"which is published
at 14,, Fleet-street. He (Mr. Mama) now wished to be
understood that hie remarks (as above) did not apply to
"the Boys of England," which be had examines' at the
time, and considering innocuous, had placed on one side, but
the other ("Tales of Highwa "),alao published at 147,
Fleet-street, he bad desired the inspector to report upon.
The observations he had made had bees comely reported,
and the misapprehension that had arisen was grounded
only in consequence of not having, in words, expressed a
meaning—that " The Boise' England," which be had since
taken the trouble of • , was not included in his
strictures on the publications Mtore has at the time.
