POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A COLLECTOR CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT AND
FRAUD TO THE AMOUNT or £4oo,—Thos. Charles Cuth-
bert, of 25, Malvern-road, Daiston, in the employ of Messrs.
Manley and Marshall, beer merchants, of No. 29, Soho-
square, as collector, was charged before Mr. Knox with
embezzling several sums of money received on account of
his employers.

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared
for the prosecution, and, in opening the case, said the pro-
secutors carried on an extensive business as beer merchants
in Soho-square, and the prisoner had been in their employ
about three months as traveller and collector, and during
that time he had embezzled money and defrauded them to
the amount of £lOO. A part of the system carried on by
the prisoner had been to order larger quantities to be sent
to the customers than they ordered, and when they stated
that they had not ordered so much, he stated that be would
send for it, which ho did, and then disposed of it for his
own benefit, and is other cases he had sent in fictitious
orders for beer.

Mr. Knox said the charges against the prisoner would be
robbery, fraud, and embezzlement.

_ .
Mr. Lewis observed that he should prove the three
charges against the prisoner, but that to-day he should
confine himself to two cases of embezzlement, and then ask
for a remand.

Mr. Edward Hall, of the King's Arms, Duke-htreet,
Grosvenor-square, said that in February last he was in-
debted to Messrs. Manley and Marshall £6 4s. 6d. for beer
supplied. At the latter end of March or the beginning of
April he paid the prisoner the amount and took his receipt
for the same. On the 6th of April he was indebted to the
same firm S 6 7s 6 and a few days afterwards paid the pri-
soner the amount and took his receipt for it. The receipts
produced were the same.
Mr. Francis Marshall, one of the firm, said it was the
duty of the prisoner, who was employed by them as collec-
tor and traveller, to pay over all moneys received by him on
his return to the office. The prisoner had never paid over
the sums mentioned by Mr. Hall, and stated that he had
never received them.

Henry Dawson, 301 A, said he heard Mr. Marshall ask
the prisoner yesterday whether he bad received any ac-
counts, and he said, " Only one from Mr. Robinson." On
Mr. Marshall asking him whether he had not received other
sums, he said he knew he had been doing wroag, that he
had received other sums, and that if Mr. Marshall gave him
time he would pay him.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for a week.

ATTEMPTED WATCH ROBBERY IN THE HAYMARKET.—
John Elsham, charged with attempted watch robbery in
the Haymarket, was again brought up.
Sergeant Druscovich, of the A division, who took the
prisoner into custody, stated that since the prisoner was re-
manded ho had ascertained that both addresses given by the
prisoner were false.

The prisoner was comitted for a month with hard labour

THAMES.

SHARKS IN SEARCH OF PREY.—James Dennett, aged
30, the master of the schooner New Rambler, lying in the
City Canal, Poplar, was brought before Mr. Partridge
charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of
himself.

John Knowles, 138 K, said the prisoner was very drunk
last night in Limehous:, and rolling about and making a
noise. The prisoner had a good watch and chain about
him, and he believed a good deal of money. There were
a number of prostitutes and thieves about him offering to
assist him and to help him along. In a few seconds they
would have plundered him of everything valuable about
him, and he took him into custody and conveyed him to the
station-house.

Mr. Partridge—What is the prisoner ?
Witness—He is the captain of a ship.
Mr Partridge—What money had he about him?
Witness—l don't know—he was not searched. He had
a considerable sum, I believe.

Mr Partridge—Well, prisoner, You are captain of tho
ship New Rambler, and you wore found drunk and incap-
able of taking care of yourself this morning at half-past 12
o'clock, with a great number of bad characters about you.
What have you to say ?
The prisoner—Nothing, nothing; only I was three sheets
in the wind.

Mr Partridge—Captains ought to keep sober, and exhibit
a good example to those under their command. You are
fined a half-crown.

Captain Dennitt—Thank you, He paid the fine, and
was liberated.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of English beasts here today was only mo-
derate—of foreign good. Amongst the latter were about
80 from Prussia, in poor condition. For all breeds the
demand was in a sluggish state, at barely Monday's cur-
rency. The extreme price for Scots was 4s 10d per 81bs,
We were fairly supplied with sheep, and the mutton trade
was heavy, at 2d per 81bs less money. The top price was
4s 10d per 81bs, Lambs moved off slowly, at previous quo-
tations, viz., from 6s 4d to 78 4d per 81bs. In calves—the
supply of which was moderate—very little was passing, on
former terms. Pigs and milch cows vero dull, at late
rates.
