have been concerned in the immenetioes was by C 00111•1110111
with the other primmer ,• very large sum■ of mosey
were placed to his credit by Durden, which belonged
to osier customers of the bulk, and which he
drew oat by cheques in the usual way. The fiend
by this means was carried on for several years, cod
it would, in all probability, not yet have been discovered,
but for the fact that burden, who had tbo entire control
over the books, and through whose contrivance and
management the false entries were made in the
books that prevented suspicion and discovery, was
etrack down by paralysis, and prevented from at-
tending to his duty at the bank, and the conse-
quence was that it was very soon discovered that the beak
had been plundered to an enormous extent. The mode in
which the offense was committal was by the prisoner Dar-
den making false entries in the books, and the most inge-
nious means were adopted in onler to prevent discovery.
Mr. Slane, one of the ledger clerks in the bank, who
was the first witness, proved that the prisoner Durdeo
was the principal ledger clerk, and that he had charge
of the ledger containing the prisoner Ifolcroft's account.
He also stated that in consequence of his proceedings
be suspected there was something wroog, and on the
18th of February he made an examination, which re.
salted in the discovery that the prisoner had miscast one
account to the extent of 30,1.100 f., and he at once ooniniuni•
sated with Mr. Chauncey, the manager of the bank, and the
primmer was given into custody.

Upon the 25th of February seven sheep were sent up to

On examining them Messrs. Lee and Brown at once called
the attention of Mr. Fisher, the iuspector, to the carcasses,

THE POLICE COURTS.

THE MEETING AT ASCOT.
TO TEI ZOIT3K Or TIM RIMS&

Sts,—Thurs, lay's and Friday's programmes
give premiss of good sport, although not such se eaa be
compared with that we had ea Tuesday. The Gold Cap,
two miles and a half, is now a tamer affair than ever, for
two of the chief combatente—Aurelian (lame, I handed)
and Royallien-- were settled by Partnere in the Queen's
Vim, and the latter has now only Thormanby, St. Albans,
Dulcibella, and Wallace at the most to beat, my doubts
being very strong whether the two bet named are " going.*
Fatrwater, Nemesis, end Chere-Amie can have no chance
after the running of those they have previously met
this semen, and while still doubting whether the St.
Albans party Is hi earnest—for the horse, easily as be
won the Triennial,did not lonk thoroughly p I can-
not but anticipate Thormanby will turn the tables on him
for the defeat in the St. Leger, and carry the Gold Can to
Boesky. The Royal Stead Plate, two miles, will rut be-
tween the foreigners, Pretendant, Umpire, and Optimist,
having 9111 allowances; and as the former would out have
declined contesting the Ascot Stakes without good reason,
it must be for one of the Americans to come off victorious,
Optimist being the safest to trust, as he is certain to stay.
The New Stakes, for 2.year-cilds, T.Y.C., is apparently
reduced to a match between the two penalised atiim
Ituckstone sod Wingnive, and it must not be considered
that because the former only beat Marignan
a head, receiving 1011 w, he has no chine. with
the Baron's colt, who beat Marignan when in re-
ceipt of 51b ; Buckstone root with more than
one mishap in his race, and he will make it pretty
" wean" for Wan/rave, who must, however, have my pre-
ference. The St. James's Palace Stakes for Diophantne,
the 50 soya. Sweepstakes (Swishy Course) for Big Ben.
and Friday's 50 soya. Sweepstakes for Brown Duchess, look
foregoes conclusions ; and the Queen's Plate, about three
miles, may be a match between Parmesan and Dulcibella, it
being not improbable the latter will decline the encounter,
when Mr. Savile's hone will have Mooreock and Optimist
for the nest beet to him. The Welter Cup had better be
left to the amateur riders, and the other events have yet to
close.-1 am, &c., METEOR.
