first he should order a remand of six months. As re-
garded the second, he believed that the insolvent was
fully aware at the time that he purchased the yacht that
he had no interest in the property that had been referred
to. He was then, and had been fbr some time, living
separate from his wife. If he forgot these things, ho
could not very easily forget that he bad been an insol-
vent in that court, that not one shilling had been
paid upon his debts, and that if he had property it
was vested in his assignees. He considered the latter
a case of fraud, and on that ground should order a re-
mand for the period of twelve months, both remands to
date from the vesting order. The insolvent will, there-
ford, have to remain eight months in prison.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Samuel Game, who had been employed on the Eastern
Counties Railway, was brought before Alderman Gibbs,
charged with having stolen a carpet bag, filled with
clothes, Ste., the property of a farmer named George
Cole Francis, of Salter Grange, near lieyinghatn,
llolderness, Yorkshire.
The prosecutor said-Yesterday morning I came to
London from Bishops Stortford, where I left my carpet
bag, as I was obliged to return on the same evening. At
two o'clock in the afternoon, as I was walking down
Bishopsgate-street to take the train at Shoreditch, I met
the prisoner, who to my surprise was carrying my carpet
bag in his hand. I went up to him, and asked him what
he was going to do with the bag, as it bad my name and
address upon it. He answered, " What was that to me;
it was his bag." I then seized and took him to the sta-
tion-house, where I described the contents of my bag
before it was examined. The property in it consisted of
shirt; coats, &c., of the value of upwards of 5/.
Inspector M'Lean said-When the prisoner was
brought into the station-house I found in his pocket a
key which did not fit the bag which he had in his pos-
session, and he appeared to be surprised, and said they
(the train attendants) had given him the wrong bag. I
went to the Eastern Counties Railway station after-
wards, and caused a telegraph message to be sent to
Bishops Stortford, and at halt-past 6 I received in answer
to the communication the carpet bag produced, which had
upon it a card containing the name "S. Game, passen-
ger to London." The prisoner, upon seeing the carpet
bag with his name upon it, said it was his property. It
contained a shirt, a small ham, a piece of soap, and three
religious books, and was extremely unlike that which he
wart charged with having stolen. I found upen his per-
soma silver watch and 1/. 17s. 4d. He said he had been
a porter on the Eastern Counties Railway, and I found
in his pocket a certificate of good character from the
authorities there.
Alderman Gass (to the prisoner)-What have you
to say to this very serious charge ? The prisoner-I
brought away the bag in a mistake.
Alderman GIBBS-I shall commit you for trial.
Some of the officers in attendance said it was a very
common practice with thieves to bring with them, on
railway journeys, carpet bags containing things of no
value, in the hope of being able to make profitable ex-
changes on the way.
Committed for trial.
Joseph Harvey, an ostler out of place, was charged
'with having assaulted a lady of the name of Brown.
The defendant. who was standing apparently in liquor
at the corner of Finsbury-circus, while the complainant
and another lady were walking along, tried to grasp
one of them. The complainant was less fortunate
than her companion, and was seized by the fellow.
She, however, got away from him, and ran as fast as
she could into an eating-house in the neighbourhood,
but was followed by him into the parlour, where he
seized her, and was with great difficulty and violence
removed by the man of the house and flung into the
street. In so outrageously following the lady he broke
a window, and was at last deposited in the station-house.
The terror of the ladies was, as might be expected,
excessive.
The defendant said he was so drunk he did not know
what he was after.
Alderman G 111133 said the sentence upon the
defendant was that he should pay half-a-crown
for the pane of glass which was broken, five shillings
for being drunk, and fifty shillings for the outrageous
assault upon the lady, or one month's imprisonment and
hard labour in Bridewell.-Committed.
William Cole, the driver of a cart, was charged with
having assaulted a farmer named Same, in a violent
manner.
The farmer was sitting on the outside of an omnibus,
when the defendant was crossing Fenchurch street with
his cart. The driver of the omnibus called out to the
defendant, who immediately lashed at the driver, but
the whip missed the person it was intended for, and al-
most cut the eye out of the unfortunate farmer.
Alderman GIBES-I fine you 40s. or one month's im-
prisonment for this most unprovoked assault, and if the
fine should be paid it shall go to discharge the com-
plainant's doctor's bill.
GUILDHALL.
John Lee, of 39, Seckforde-street, Pentonville, was
charged with Mr. Alderman Moon, with embezzling 201.
and various other moneys, to a very considerable amount;
the embezzlements, extending over a period of between
two and three;years, sometimes amounted to 401. per
month, but only four cases were proved.
The prisoner, who appeared to be labouring under
weakness of body, and to be much affected at the position
in which he was placed, was accommodated with a chair
hr the dock during the examination.
Mr. Thomas Wright, of No. 11, Giltspur-street,
cheesemonger, said the prisoner has lived with me for
some years as my confidential clerk and cashier, and it
was his duty to receive money and pay it to my bankers,
Messrs. Jones Loyd and Co., of Lothbury. On the 25th
of July he debited Jones Loyd and Co. with 162/. Bs. 6d.,
raying in only 142/. Bs. 6d. There was in the cash-box
1621. Bs. 6d. to be paid on that day, and he took that
amount. On the counter part of the banker's book he
has entezed as paid the sum of 1421. Bs. 6J. The
book contained the entry of 1621. 8:. 6d. in
the prisoner's handwriting, and is entered as he took it
from the cash-box, showing how that money was made
up. On the 7th of July last he debited the bankers
446/. 63., only paying to them in like manner, as before,
426/. 65., which he entered in the counterpart of the
banker's book. The next entry was that of the 29th of
June, when the debit to the bankers was for 4971. 14s. ld.,
and the counterpart was only 477/. 14s. Id. He never
accounted to me for these moneys, nor had he any au-
thority to withhold money. No other person was autho-
rised to pay in the money, except when the prisoner
was absent. On referring to my. ledger of the 11th of
June, I find in the prisoner's handwriting the entry of I
1941. Bs. 4d., whereas the sum paid into the bank was
only 1741. Bs. 4d. The prisoner had never accounted to
me for this difference in his accounts, and on making
this discovery I gave him into custody.
Alfred Harvest Coulson said-I am ono of the cashiers
of Messrs. Jones Loyd and Co., of Lothbury, bankers,
and produce a number of tickets of the payments of
deposits from Mr. Wright, of Giltspur-street. I pro-
duce amongst them one dated July 25, for 1421. Bs. 6d.;
another for 426/. 65., on the 7th of uly; a third dated
June 29, for 477/. 143. ld.; and a fourth ticket, of the
11 hof June, for 174/. Si. 4d. ; all of which amounts
were carried to Mr. Wright's credit.
Mr. Wright identified all the tickets as being in the
prisoner's handwriting.
George Wardle, 221, said that when he took Lee into
custody, on the way to the station-house he said to him,
" This is a bad job I have got into, and I must get out
of it as well as I can."
The prisoner declined saying anything in his defence,
and the depositions being made out, he was conveyed to
Newgate in a cab.
BOW-STREET.
William Gregory, of 5, Upper Montagu-street, Rue-
sell-square, solicitor, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Henry, on a charge of violating the person of Mary
Johanna Neary, a housemaid in the service of his mother.
Mr. Humphrys attended for the prisoner.
The prosecutrix, who is about thirty years of age, and
gave her evidence with much flippancy, stated that she
was a single woman, and the prisoner was her master's
son. On Sunday morning last, when the family went to
church, he met her at his mother's bed-room door, with
the slop-pail in her hand, when he inquired if they were
gone to church, and she said they were. lie was dressed
in his morning-gown, and he laid hold of her round the
waist, desiring her to put down the pail, which she did,
and he pulled her towards his room, while she dragged
back till they got to the side of his mother's bed. She
said, "For 'God's sake, Mr. William, don't effect my
ruin;" and although she struck at him, and screamed
" Murder!" till she was exhausted, he by force accom-
plished his object ; after which he went towards his own
room.

The witness underwent a lengthened cross-examina-
tion, in which she admitted that for the last six weeks
ho was in the habit of kissing her and taking other
liberties with her, which she never mentioned to her
mistress, fearing it might cause some ill-feeling in the
family, and also her discharge from the service. The
parlour-maid and a servant boy were iu the house at
the time in question; they, however, rendered her no
assistance, and the reason why she laid down the pail
was to have her hands at liberty in order to protect
herself.
Mr. HENRY also put several questions to the prosecu-
trix, and from the nature of the answers she gave, with-
out examining the parlour-maid or a medical gentleman
who yeas in attendance to give evidence, he ultimately
came
to the conclusion that he would not be justified in
vending such a case before a jury, and ordered the pri-

and gave her to understand that he knew of a cook's
situation which would be just the thing for her, but that
it would not be vacant for a few weeks. He prevailed
upon her to go into lodgings with him, where they lived
as man and wife, and under a promise of mar-
riage to her ho plundered her of 43/. and
a quantity of wearing apparel, which he
had pawned. The day for the wedding had been
appointed, and the bans had been put up by him at St.
Mary's, Lambeth. He had also purchased the ring. He
at length absented himself altogether from prosecutrix,
from whom, as alleged, he had forcibly taken possession
of a portion of the money above alluded to, and he left
