GUILDHALL.

EMBEZZLEMENT.—Ebenezer Chivers was charged be-
fore Alderman Humphery with embezzling 501., the
funds of the City of London and• General Loan Associ-
ation.

It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner bad
acted as secretary to the association for 5 years, but had
ceased to be so occupied the past 6 months. It was
part of the duty of the prisoner to receive the repay-
ments of money advanced, entering the amounts on a
card furnished the borrowers, and to put the money
into the till. Since the prisoner had left the society an
examination of the books, &c., bad taken place, and
deficiencies discovered amounting to the above sum.

Evidence having been given of the non-accounting of
three payments made by a Mr. Cakebread, surety for a
borrower of 51., named Davis, the prisoner was re-
manded. Bail would be taken for his appearance.
THE ATTEMPTED MURDER ON SNOW-HlLL.—George
Mulley, remanded, charged with attempting to murder
his wife, Ellen Mulley, was again placed at the bar.
_ _

Mr. Alderman Humphery said he had received a me-
dical certificate stating the unfortunate woman was still
in a dangerous state, and was unable yet to attend ;
consequently, he must be further remanded.

P. C. 10 said he had been at the hospital, and under-
stood the prisoner's wife was in a weak state; last night
and the night before she threw up a large quantity of
blood.

The prisoner was remanded till to-morrow week.

THAMES.

A FAMILY OF THIEVEEL—Two girls, who both gave
the name of Elizabeth, Smith., and stated their ages to be
19 and 17, were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged
with being in possession of half a ham and eight yards
of cotton print, suspected to have been stolen or un-
lawfully procured.

William Copping, police-constable 379 K, stated that
the real name of the prisoners was Hunns, and they be-
longed to a family of thieves. After a lengthened inves-
tigation,

Mr. Yardley said he had no doubt the prisoners got
their living by thieving. He sentenced the youngest
prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour,
and the eldest to six weeks' imprisonment and hard
labour.

VIOLENT ASSAULT IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE.---Thomas Kartes
and Daniel llearn, mechanics, were charged with being

THE TURKISH CONTINGENT AND CABBY.—Captain
,Morgan of the Turkish Contingent was summoned
before Mr. A'Beckett, by two cabmen, for refusing and
neglecting to pay them their legal fare for conveying re-
cruits from the office in King-street, Westminster, to

the Bricklayers' Arms Station of the South-Eastern
Railway, in the Old Kent-ro ad.

Thomas James, badge 8,064, stated that about twenty
minutes to eight o'clock on the morning of the 22d
inst. he was called off the stand in the Palace-yard to
take up a fare in King-street, the recruiting office of the
Turkish Contingent. He remained there until twenty
minutes past eight, when he took up five of the soldiers
and conveyed them to the Bricklayers' Arms Station,
where he arrived at twenty minutes to nine. Each of
the Contingent had heavy luggage, and he had to wait
until nine o'clock because Captain Morgan had not ar-
rived to receive the men. When he came he offered
witness four shillings, but being entitled to more he re-
fused to receive it. Witness told the Captain that the
fare three miles was ls. 6d., three extra persons ls. Gd.,
three quarters of an hour waiting ls. 6d., and baggage
10d., making in all ss. 4d. The defendant having re-
fused to pay him his demand he was compelled to take
the present proceedings.
Captain Morgan said he defended the case on public
grounds, because he really believed that both the cab-
men had attempted to extort money from him. On the
22d instant he ordered his sergeant-major to hire 11
cabs, to be at the Recruiting-office, King-street, by
eight o'clock and not before, which was the time they
were engaged to drive the men to the Bricklayers' Arms
station. Before the cabs left he went to every driver,
and particularly tpld them they were not to take more
than three men in each of their vehicles ; and, of course,
he thought such an order would be obeyed. He arrived
at the station at nine o'clock, and discharged the calm,
when all took 4s. each as their fares, except the prisoners,
who made such an extortionate demand that he was de-
termined not to pay them. He also considered that it
was almost impossible for the complainant to drive five
men and heavy luggage three miles in 20 minutes.
Mr. A'Beckett was of the same opinion, and the
complainant might consider himself lucky he was not
taken into custody for furious driving.
The cabman said his was a young horse, and could
easily go ten miles an hour.
Mr. A'Beckett said he must order Captain Morgan
to pay the cabman ss. 4d., as he had no evidence to con-
tradict his statement.

The other cabman, William Thomson, 629, claimed
55., which the captain was also ordered to pay with the

costs.

Captain Morgan paid the money, but considered he
had been imposed upon by the cabmen.

MARYLEBONE.

CHARGE AGAINST A SERVANT FOR STEALING A GOLD
WATCH.—A young woman, named Sarah A spey, servant
to Henry Meredith, Esq., 77, Connaught-terrace, Edg-
ware-road, was placed at the bar for re-examination,
charged with having stolen a gold watch, value thirty
guineas, tho property of David Reynolds, a general in
the American army, and who at present resides at the
house above alluded to.

The evidence gone into upon the former and present

the
occasioi:s went to show that on Thursday morning,'
20th inst., he missed his watch from his bedroom. I
was safe on a shelf when he retired to rest the nigh
before. The area gate was, early in the rnoruing, found
open, and, as the prisoner was seen late on Wednesday
cted
night talking to a man at the gate, she was suss
of the robbery. When told that the General had
lost his watch, she said, " Well, and what have
I
to do with that ?" glie was questioned as to who the
man was with whom she had been in conversation, when
she stated that his name was Jem Wilson, and that he
lived at Union-place, South-wharf-road, Paddington:
Upon inquiry, made by Sergeant Warren, 27 this
turned out to be false, and he (the officer) ascertained
that two other addresses which she gave were fictitious-
He had made all possible inquiry with the view of tracing
the watch, but as yet had not been successful.
The case being altogether one of a strongly suspicious
nature against the accused, Mr. Long felt himself bound
to send it to a jury.
Prisoner was accordingly committed for trial.

speed to stop at the same place, came in collision with
the former with sufficient force to knock to pieces that
guard's van and three of the waggons. The engine °
the passenger train was much injured, and a second-410

to suffer much from the shock, though at the time he
appeared to have sustained no severe bruise,
ah nor of
fracture of the bones. The injuries of these and tele
ad
other passengers were such, however,j as to render it
ci
visable they should remain' in the neighbourhood,
Dr. Harrison, of Manchester, and two surgeons fr°sl
Manchester, were sent for to wag
render them what aid t
necessary. The train was delayed by the accident bon
40 minutes behind its time.
