IleAry More, 20, was charged on remand with ember-
ding 6i., received on account of his master, Mr.l3lundell.
From the evidence of several witnesses it appeared that
the prisoner was in the service of the prosecutor for about
a fortnight, a greengrocer carrying on business at Foivet-
hill. Ile was in the habit of going round for orders each
day, and on one occasion called at the rogidtnee ..f Mr.
Peek for the payment of the weekly hill. Mn.s Peek gave
him a 61. note, he saying that he would bring tuck the
change in the muse of theday. He failed to do that or
to pay the money over to his master, and absconded.
On the part of the prisoner witnesses were called, who
attempted to show that the prisoner never was in the
service of prosecutor, and that it was a ease of mistaken
identity.
Mts. Peek, her cook, the prosecutor's brother. and
several others, however, positively spoke to prisouer as
the party.
Mr. Elliott fully committed his for trial.
