A gentleman, who had come from Burton-upon.

The Posoner appeared quite paralytic,

EMUEZ ALIMENT.
A young man, at the name of Tem/rm.
a Cterk to a Barrister in the Temple. was
with embezzling the property of Lis late
Mr. Pallasiee, a Coal Merchant, in St.
Walk, Clerkvnwell ; which offence is made,

by an agreement between the parties, the f'
was to receive three halfpence profit or
tion for every bushel of coals he sold.
have the licensed cart and horse of the .
who was to find stabling and keeping for the
and the Prisoner was ro find all other neceu foe
carrying on the business.
The charge now preferred against the Prisoner,
was, that s,■ the 22ii day of August last, he had
sold to a Mrs. Tuff one bushel of coals for the sum
of nineteen pence, which he had received, but de.
nied it to his employer, admitting, however, that
he had sold the coals to Mrs. 'ruff.—The Cour.sel
for the Prosecutiort contended, that this was pre.
cisely similar to the case of Mr. Fawkes's groan,
who had instructions to sell his master's horse for a
certain sum, but disposed of the horse to Earl Cra-
ven for a larger sum, and embezzled the differ-
ence, for which be was tried and convicted the
lase Old Bailey Sessions. Mr. Humphries, how-
ever, the Attorney for the Prisoner, contended, on
the other hand, that the Prisoner was merely guilty
of a lie in concealing the receipt of the limey, fur
which he was liable as a debt, as for money had
and received.

Tile Prisoner. in his defence, stated, that this
was a charge founded in malice, iie having left
Prosecu•or and engaged with another master (Mr.
Davis.) in the same line of business. Much enm►•
nation and rc-criminatiJa ensued. and the Prisoner
was committed.

The Old Bailey Sessions will commence on Wed.
nesday neat.
A correspsndent inform- us, that the Methodist
Conference, held this yeas at Liverpool, appeintzd
that 100 chapels should be eseaed in the ensuing
year, which is just double the number before stated.
The growing strength of the Society of Methodists
is abuost iucredible: 60 years ago the S.ciety con-
sisted of a few poor, persecuted, and demised peo-
ple, almost without a " name or local hauitation."
Now the conneflion is divided into 36 distries, con-
sisting of ell circuits, in wi.ich about 65.6 travel-
