CZAROI OP DIPRAUDING TIM OLOU AIMURANO/3
OPFICI.—The ftllnninn ',Mesa was Riven Triterday on
the exam:4olCW. of Walter Watts, after the capon whhh sit
pearled in that d.ye's Err en had Wen deettatediad.
Kr. F. Bothaey, manor la the Landon and Weotrainster
Bank, said, on the 26th of February last a cheque of 1,400 i
'wee paid in to the (treat of the prisontr, who was a customer
of ours. It was a cheque upon. Gila 's. I cannot swear it
was a Globe laearsente Cooping form of cheque. A paper,
of which the following is a espy, wart paid is at the mine
time ,
" London and Westminster Bank, Lothbury.
Date, 26th February, 1650.
Credit Walter Watts,
Bank notes,
Gold,
Silver,

Cheques (Glyn and Co.) £1,400."
The cheque was cashed and the amount was carried
to the account of the primmer. The money has been drawn
out with the exception of about 281.
Mr. J. J. Roan—The paper produced is, I believe, in the
prisoner's handwritisg.
Mr. W. Steele, a clerk at Ilests. Glyn'sbaulc, than said—
On the 26th of Fs bruary a cheque for 1,4001. was presented
to me by one of the clerks of the London and Westminster
Bank, with other chequer. The ordinary ;Globe Assurance
Company's cheques lieu a globe and other decorations upon
them. To the best of my belief the cheque produced was
one of that sort. It is my duty to canal the cheques, and
pass them to the clerk .behind me for entry in the ledger.
After the cheques are written off, they are placed in the
pocket of the cheque book, and sent to the drawer. I never
bad a cheque presented front the Globe Office, except upon
their own form. If such were presented, it would be certainly
inqulred into.
Mr. H. D. Reynolds—On the 26th of February there was
an entry of 1,4001. in this pass book on the third blue lice
where there is an erasure. This item of 1,4001. is in my
ledger, and has been examined by me. The cheque for that
sum would in due course be remitted with the pus book to
the Globe Insurance office by the messenger on the following
Wednesday.
Pubic, the messenger to the Globe Insurance Company,
said I remember the prisoner leaving the Globe office on the
sth of March. On the Wednesday before be went I fetched
the pass book and gave it to Mr. Watts. I don't recollect
giving it to any body else. I cannot say where Mr. Watts
went to. To the best of my recollection I gave Mr. Watts
upin that occasion the pass book either in the office or close
by in the hall.
Cross examined.—l have given the puebook to other
persons during the liras I have been at the Globe office. I
should say I gave it to Mr. Watts. but I should not like to
seem. that I did on the last day Mr. Watts was then,.
Ite-eaunined.-1 believe that I did give it to Mr. Watts.
I think that I have not given it to him since the beginnirg
of the present year.
Win. Steele —The three printed forms produced are the
forms used by the (Lobe Insurance Office. I have been in
MINIS. Glyn 's office about 11 years, and never have teen
any other term titan those produced.
Mr. Roan.—l have searched through the cancelled
cheques the whole of this year. It is our cutout to keep
them as vouchers for the sums charged. I mid not find airy
cheque fur 1,4901. on the 26th of February.
Crowexamined—Cancelled cheques are kept in a drawer
to which the clerks have access constantly. The prisoner
was a clerk in the Globe Insurance Office, and left it on the
s:h of March, and has not been there since. The erasure in
the puce-book is plainly visible. The book produced coetsina
the tortes of the general cheques of the company. 1 believe
the figures in pencil in tl e pace-hook, over the erasure, to be
the prisoner's hand-writing. It is the prisoner's duty to tick
oft the paid cheques with the passbook, and then to place
them in the drawer witlithe other cancelled cheques. There
have been, I perceive, two sheet. of cheeks torn out of the
eb, queehok produced.
Mr. Clarke...in here intimated that he should conclude, for
the present, the evidence in the second case 'Reimt the
prenner. He should in a few days tiring forward evidence
and althoogh there appeared to be quite enough of evidence
to commit upon the first, he dad Out coosider it would be
advisable to s• nd the matter to the Central Criminal
Court, until the testimony upon the mound accusation
should he complete. He ',trued that in a few days he
would be in a position to ley before the Alderman sdditi ,net
matter, as the greatest care was belt g taken in the investi
gallon.
Alderman Gibh• said he felt that in the first case he lied
quite sufficient 'evidence before him to oonamit the prison, r
for trial f,,r stealing a pies of paper, the evidence being
traits calculated to show that the prisoner had obtained
wrongful possession of the cheque; but if there est now no
objection to a further remand with a view to mere el se in-
quiry, he would not object to the propositios.
Mr. Bodkin paid he considered it to be necessary to state
that his client, instead of shinning, sought inquiry, and had
U 3 objection to the delay, which might be deemed necessary
for the satisfaction of all parties.
The prisoner was then remanded for a week.

IMPORTAWfBICISIOIII---Wl7ll areract 7O O.IIIIIXO-
- Waltham yesterday proceeded to deliver
his lodgment In the ease of the parties apprehended by the
police at No. 14, Jennywstreet, alleged to be a common
gaming how..
The de'endants having been called into court,
Mr. Bingham said—The defendants were charged with
herbs; been found in a summon gaming house, of which
James Jones was alleged to be the doorkeeper; and the
only qwstion was, whether sufficient evidence had been
adduced to jastify a legal inference that the house in which
the defendants were (rand was a house of that description.
Mr. Bingham proceeded is state that his opinion was that
the 1) woe in which the defendants had been found wee a
gamine! honer. The airliner in which the doors of the house
were Lactew d and barricaded, and the appearance of certain
tables and table covers which were luund on the preneises,
and which were evidently adapted to the I urposes or
gusting, had induced him to come to that conclusion.
He then fined the doorkeeper, Junes, 104, or
20 imprisonment. The per.ons who were found
in the upper rooms of the house were tined 5l each, and
three persons who were taken into custody in the parlour,
where no gaming implements were discovered, were dis-
charged without a line.
Mr. elarkmn gave notice of weld against the decision.
i tree defendants, Goodman, other is( Goodmen Levy, his
son, and another, were di•chansed without any fine ; Mork.
ten, Ord, and Lewis, three military gen.lemen, Smarr,
Doncaster, and Johnson, and the doorkeeper Jones, paid
their flues under prutec, and were liberated.
