AN IMPERIAL COMPLIMENT.—The Emperor of the
French has presented a copy of his "Life of Caesar" to Mr.
M'Vicar, of Liverpool. The channel through which this
book was conveyed to him, and the complimentary manner
in which it was given-to him, have, we learn, pleased Mr.
M'Vicar quite as much as the present itself.

The Clerk answered that no such plea had been filed.
His Honour—Yon see that, according to the rules of the
Court, a defendant is bound to file any special plea of this
kind a certain number of days before ho can avail himself
of it on the day of hearing.
Defendant's father had only to repeat that his sou was
a minor.

His Honour requested plaintiff to hand up a list of the
goods supplied to defendant, and upon receiving it, pro-
ceeded to read the same.
_ _

Plaintiff—An those things were supplied to defendant.
His Honour—You see, Mr. Jones, that your son has had
positive necessaries. Here is a roll and a bloater. (Laugh-
ter.) Now, I cannot say that a roll and bloater are not
necessaries for an infant. (Renewed laughter.) There is
then a double objection to the defence. In the nrst place,
it has not been regularly pleaded ; and in the second, the
goods are necessaries. An infant must live, and there is
no law of which I am aware that prevents a tradesman
from suing an infant for that which is necessary to accom-
plish such a desirable object.

Plaintiff—lle ate them. (Laughter.)
His Honour—The only defence before me is one that I
cannot entertain, and it should be well understood that
when necessaries are supplied to an infant he can be sued
for them. Now food is clearly such a necessary, and I
must in this case find a verdict for plaintiff, ,vith costs.
Verdict for the plaintiff.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day,

BOW-STREET.

THE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY' a.
—The three men lately employed as clerks, Spooner, Sel-
len, and Utton, were again placed at the bar for further
examination.

The way in which the prisoners appeared to have com-
mitted the frauds was, that correct sums were entered in
some of the books, and then the figures, after the books
had been checked, were erased from the pound (£) or first
column of the cash-book, by which shillings were made
to appear for pounds actually charged.
Mr. S. Goddard said I am the accountant at Mr. 'Hollo-
way's establishment. Spooner's;duty was to ree,..iive cash,
and to make entries of all money paid away in the cash-
book. It was his duty to purchase the postage stamps,
and they would be entered as a separate item. The pri-
soner had another small book, called the cashier's
postage book. He ought to debit himself with the
amount expended, and get receipts from all clerks
who used or received any of them, and enter their
initials in the book which would be his discharge. Each
clerk kept a book in which all, entries of stamps used ought
to be made. Utton kept the home department ledger in
my department. He also had the care of the private ledger
which contained the expanses of postage for six months.
It was his duty to see the accounts therein properly
corresponded with the other books. Sellen kept the
colonial advertising ledger and the colonial postage
book. On the 4th of January, 1865, I find an entry
in Spooner's writing " Postage £6 10s," but in his
postage cash book I find no such entry. On
referring to the private ledger kept by Utton, I found on
the 4th of January the sum of 10s. only charged, an erasure
appearing in the pound column. On the Gth of January,
1865, I found an entry by Spooner of £4, but in the private
ledger I found only 4s. charged in the handwriting of
Utton.

Witness was examined with respect to similar entries,
all which had been dealt with in the manner above de-
scrib d.

Mr. Arkill said—l have been in the service of Mr. Hol-
loway. I left in March last. lam familiar with Spooner
and Selien's handwriting. I have examined the cashier's
postage book, and found some differences. The witness
here gave the figures in detail.

Mr. Stamforth, the manager of the colonial department
of Mr. Holloway's business. I have looked at the postage
book kept by Sellen, and I fwad in May Sellen by the book
appears to have discharged himself of £9 for postage. I
found that he has charged ls. 10s. on postage for foreign
letters upon which the correct amount would only be 18.
The Indian postages, as a rule, Men has charged 18. 10d.,
whereas the correct sum would ba either 6d. or 10d. Of
the £9, I find that Xi 16s. 10d. out of that sum has been
expended, and the firm defrauded out of the remainder—
£4 3s. 10d.

Mr. Holloway, the brother of the prosecutor and ma-
naer of the establishment, said the postage books had
uwen ex-aiumva-Lrernr-cuv wuznieuuezueln, Ipt the year; Ulla
tho deficiency in that period was £5ll, and in Sellen's de-
partment about £5O or £6O. That was quite separate from
other frauds that have been discovered.

Sergeant Hamblen said—When I took the prisoners into
custody at Mr. Holloway's establishment in the Strand, I
told them that I was a police constable, and that they were
given into custody for robbing their employer.
Sellen said—l admit my share in the transaction.
Utton said—l can clear myself of my part ; and Spooner
made no reply at all.
Mr. Lewis said he now had to ask for the committal of
the prisoners on the charges of robbery and conspiracy.
Mr. Ricketts contended that there was uo evidence
against Sellen for conspiracy.

Mr. Flower thought there was quite sufficient to justify
the committal of all the threo prisoners, and he should
therefore send them all for trial at the Central Criminal
Court.
