MARLI3ORO U GII-STREET.

EMBEZZLEMENT AT TILE JUNIOR UNITED SERVICE
CLUB.—William Steele, head smoking room waiter at the
Junior United Service Club, appeared before Mr Tyrwhitt
to answer a summons charging him with embczzlng the
sum of V, the money of the trustees of the club.

Mr Lewis, senior, cf E!y-place, prosecuted, and Mr.
Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, defended.
The case was first before Mr Tyrwhitt a few days ago,
and the str:et facts are as follows—The prisoner had been
four years in the service of the club, and about six months
ago was raised to the pos4tion of head smoking.room
waiter. It was the custom of the club to deliver to the
prisoner a number of cigars weekly, as it was the prisoner's
duty at the end of the week to render an account of his
sales and pay over the money ho had received. On the 4'h
inst. he was called upon to render an account, and then it
was discovered that he was deficient to the extent mentioned
abova. The prisoner was then discharged from the club,
and subsequently the present proceedings were taken.

On the late occasion Mr Edward Lewis contended that
no felonious intention had been made out against the pri-
soner. It was true the prisoner was at the moment defi-
cient a few pounds, but he had always been and was then
prepared to pay the deficiency, and it was hard that the
club—the prisoner having served it faithfully for four years
—should take these harsh proceedings.
Mr Tyrwhitt said he did not think a jury would convict,
but if Mr Lewis, sen., pressed for a committal, ho did not
think ho could withdraw the case from a jury. lie would
adjourn the case to give Mr Lewis, sea., time to consult
with his clients.

The prisoner wss liberated on his own recognisanees
and on again appearing,

Mr Lewis, EOM, said the club, having a large number of
servants in their employ (above 80), were determined to
prosecute.
Mr E. Lewis said that, in order that there might be no
mistake, ho wiEhcd to reiterate his &sr to pay the club the
prisoner's deficiency.
The prisoner was committed for trial, bail being
accepted.
