Crombie, the law clerk and prosecuting solicitor
to the company, and Alfred Morgan, Esq., the company's
treasurer, attended to prosecute. The prisoner was un-
defended.

the prisoner.
Mr. Alfred h.orfs'ol3, who said—l am treasurer to the
London and Sown' Western Railway Company, and my,
office is at the company's principal station in the Water-
loo-road. TM prisoner has been in the service of the cm-
pany as chief clerk in the traffic department for some years.
There is an account kept With tore Board of Green Cloth
for the carriage of linen, &c., of her Majesty from Rich-
mond to the different palaces, and it hi called the "Royal
Laundry Account." This accouat:ia made up once a
quarter, and the book in which it was kept was in the
office of, and the amount received by the*prieoner. In the
month of 4ugust I disoover.3d that the "Royal Laundry
Account" had not been seatleJ. or at least did not appear
to have been subsequent to December 31, 1851, at which
time a cheque for 2941. had been et calved. From a corre-
spondence which I had with Mr. Cockswelll found that a
cheque, for 3031. 41. 2d had been paid to the
had prisoner on
the "Royal Laundry Account,
for which ho given
no credit on the book, and which he denied receiving
when I spoke to him. I had previously directed the
prisoner to Mite and get the account settled, and subse-
quently wrote a latter, which I directed him to take to
Mr. Ildl, of tho roard of Green Cloth, but I have every
reason to believe that the prisoner never delivered it. I
afterwards received a communication from Mr. Harding,
the secretary, and on ~ny waiting on him he (Mr. Hard-
ing) told me that the p'vlsoner was deficient in his ac-
count, and handed me the' account now produced, in the
prisoner's handwriting. In this document he made out
items alleged to be due to h `lu, amounting to 1581. 18,
and admitted a deficiency of ;931, 16c, which made up
up the amount cf the cheque.
Mr. Elliott--Was it tho prisoner'seluty to pay over to
you the cheque for 3091. 43 2d as soon' as he received it?
Mr. Morgan—Certainly, sir, and in ,the same way as
he received it.
Mr. Elliott—ls he allowed to change cheques?
Mr. Morgan—Certainly not; it is hi 3 dut7 to hand
over to me all moneys and cheques in the same way as
ho receives them.
Sergeant Bent was here asked if the prisoner had made
any admissions statements to him when he appre-
ended him, and he replied in the negative.
Mr. Cromhie here said that this was all the evidence
he had to offer at present, but on the next examination
he should be prepared to produce the prisoner's acknow-
ledgments for the amounts received by him on the
"Royal Laundry Account," and which would clearly
show the sums he has not accounted for.
The prisoner, after being cautioned by the magistrate,
was asked if he wished to say anything in reply to the
charge? Ho replied that there was ono question which
he wished to ask Mr. Morgan, and that was, whether the
secretary did not say he would arrange the affair for
him, and that he need not trouble himself any further in
the matter ?
Sr. Morgan omitted answering the question, and the
prisoner was remanded.
