VVORSHIP-STREET.

Henry Rantenfeld, a German of gen-
tlemanlike appearance, was charged with havingob-
taiaed, by fraudulent representation.s from the goods'
department of the Eastern Counties 'Railway, a four-
horse threshing machine, of the value of 451., the
property of the Russian Goverment.
Mr. John Nottbeck, Imperial Commissioner of the
Ministry of Domains in Russia, at present residing
in Dover-street, Piccadilly, stated that towards the
latter part of last year he transmitted an order on be-
half of the Russian Government to Messrs. Garrett
and Co, agricultural implement makers, of Sax-
mundhani, in Suffolk, for a four horse threshing
machine, which he requested might be forwarded to
town by the Eastern Counties Railway, to the order
of their shipping agent, Mr. M'Cracken, of the Old
Jewry. Having subsequently received information
that the order had been duly executed, but that the
prisoner had contrived, by means of a fictiwhich herb oder,
to obtain possession of the machine,ad
converted into money, witness hastened back from
Paris, where he had been since residing, and gave
him into custody. The prisoner had been in his ser-
vice for about two months, in the capacity of clerk,
the property r'a
but his engagement terminated last
tbtNov e
he had never authorised him to obtain
question or in any manner to dispose of it.
Mr. Samuel Saville, clerk at the goods station of
the Eastern Counties Railway, stated that on the Bth
December the prisoner entered the booking-office at
the Brick-lane station, and inquiredl if a threshing
machine had arrived there from Mr. Garrett, of Sax-
mundham. On telling him that it had, but that it
was consigned to the order of Messrs. M'Cracken, of
the Old Jewry the prisoner said that he had just
come from that firm,and
would at once give him a
written order for its
delivery. The order produced
was then prepared and signed by the prisoner, accord-
ing to whose directions the machine was sent on the
following day to Mr. Kealy's, an agricultural ma-
chinist, in Oxford-street.
Mr. John Kelly, agricultural implement manu-
facturer, stated that on the Bth of December the pri-
soner called upon him at his place of business in Ox-
ford-street, and, having represented himself as an at-
taclA to the Russian embassy, and that he had acted
as secretary at the Great Exhibition, proceeded to state
that, having lately indulged in rather improvident
habits, wbich had reduced him to temporary embar-
rassment, he wished to obtain a small advance of
money upon the security of a threshing-.machine
which he had purchased on account of the
Government, but which he was unable to ship off in
in
consequence of the lateness of the sea.on. After
some further conversation witness agreed to take the
and having
Messrs. subsequently
matter into consideration ;
entered into communication with Garrett, of
Saxnatindbarn, from whom he received a letter stating
that they had constructed a threshing-machine under
the circumstances described, and had received the
purchase-money from the prisoner witness ultimately
advanced him 251. upon it, the prisoner undertaking
e. ouse room until he
. was in is
to he answerable ter war h
condition to for ward'it to Ru-sia.
