GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)

DEFRAUDING AN EMPLOYER.— William Moore was brought
up under the following circumstances :
It appeared that about a month ago the prisoner was en.
trusted by his master with leather worth about 11. to make
into shoes; but instead of doing so, he absconded from his
lodging,
taking it along with him.
The prisoner declared that he had left the articles at his
lodgings.
The landlady of the house denied this, and appeared very
indignant at tie conduct of the urisoner, stigmatizing him in
no very measured terms, as he had made her answerable for
the loss.

Sir P. LATIRIR inquired how that could be?
The complainant replied, that. before they entrusted work to
a stranger, they generally required the security of the person
in whose house he lodged.
Sir PETER LAURIE inquired if that was the custom of tbe
trade ?

The complainant replied in the affirmative.
Sir PETER LAURIE said that he had never heard of such a
custom b fore.

It appearing probable that the matter would be settled, the
prisoner was remanded.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY IN A HOUSE OF ILL-FAME.—George
Stone, Eliza Walher, and Esther Brown, were charged with
having robbed a person named Smith.
The complainant, who stated that he belongs to Lich-
field, deposed that about 11 o'clock last night .he went into
the house, No. 9, Black Horse-court, Fleet-street, in com-
pany with a female. He slept there, and on getting up this
morning found that he had been robbed of 601. The woman
with whom he went into the house was not one of the pri-
soners.

The landlord of the house, who was present, said, in an-
swer to questions by Sir Peter Laurie, that he had let the
house in this manner for the last eight years, and that it was
let at present at 30s. a-week.
Mrs. Walker declared that the complainant gave her a 51. note
to get changed, and that ahe returned him the money. The
complainant came in with three girls, and after remaining
some time he went out with them. Oa returning he asked for
a girl, but there being none in the house, he slept by himself.
The complainant said that he did not recollect leaving the
house at all, nor did he believe that he gave the prisoner a
note to get changed.
Mrs. Walker further stated that she got the note changed
at the house of the landlord, and the latter stated that he had
disposed of it.

The prisoners were remanded, in order that further inquiries
might be made, Sir P. Lacatr. remarking that he had no
doubt the parties perfectly understood each other.
