NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU-
RANCE SOCIETY.
26, Cornblll, London.
Capital £500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
This Institution embraces important and substantial advantages
with respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annutics.
Policies Issued by this Society have a twofold advantage :—provi-
sion for the family of the Assured, and an augmenting pecuniary
available resource to himself, if needful, while! lying. The Assured
has, on all occasions, the power to borrow, without expense, or for-
feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid.
DIVISION OF PROFITS.
. . . .

The continued prosperity of the Society has enables the Directors
at the Annual Meeting, held on the 10th of May, IS4B, to declare a
sixth bonus, varying from 27 to 65 per cent. on the Premiums paid
en each Policy effected on the profit scale.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, twe-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.

The barony and estate of Islay, comprising the island of Islay
and small adjacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and
Glasgow, and is one of the richest and most productive properties in
the west of Scotland. It contains about 140,000 acres, of which
34,000 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture.

The present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present
to 20,00014 but a Government grant of 30,0001. is now being ex-
pended in drainage an I improvements. The rents are periodically
and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, and It is evident that
such a property must, under improved agriculture, afford a much
larger return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for
about 500,0001., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose,
and contingent expenses, of 600,000/., in 12,000 501. shares, each
shareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of nominees to
be insured oat of the rental, so as to secure the repayment of his
subscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The
remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided every ten years
amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the
estate. On the basis of 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000
nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business
or a life assurance company, so as to secure an annual dividend of
profits.
Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton-
tine, will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his
investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of in-
terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of
the general life assurance department (and the basis and guarantee
indicated cannot fail to make this branch most extensive and lucra-
tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, every ten years hls nominee
survives, in the accumulated and constantly improving rental ; and,
in the event of his nominee being the last survivor, will become
the absolute owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It is also
to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the
marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en-
hanced.

The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con-
sidered by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq., the eminent actuary of tke Me-
dical and Invalid Assurance Company, and receivt.d his entire ap-
probation. _ _

The estvte is to be vested in three trustees, resident in Scotland.
The affairs of the Society shall be conducted by a board of seven
directors in Scotland, commuideating with a board of correspondence
in London. Two general meetings shall be held in Scotland in the
months of June and December.

The preliminary deposit to be ss. per share (being the maximum
allowed under the Registration Act), and a call of H. per share shall
be made en cmaplete registration. The remainder to, be called up
by such instalments as may be found necessary to meet the payment
of the purchase money.

rather a long-lived class, as there are no less than 500
claimants for medals for the battle of Maids, fought in
1806.

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.

APPREUENSION OF MARIA MANNING.

The capture of Maria Manning (alias Rue), the
female charged with having being concerned in this
horrible crime, has been effected. Thanks to the
energy and activity of our detective police force in
the first instance, and secondly, the great invention
of the age—the electric telegraph—the woman was
arrested yesterday in the city of Edinburgh, with a
large amount of property belonging to the deceased,
Patrick O'Connor, in her possession.
The circumstances under which the arrest took
place may be thus briefly related :—Among the offi-
cers employed to trace the suspected murderers was
Sergeant Shaw, of the detective force. From in-
quiries made in the neighbourhood of Manning's
residence, this officer ascertained beyond a doubt
that Maria Manning left Minver-place on the after-
noon of Monday, the 13th instant, in a cab, taking
with her three or four large boxes. To find out the
driver of this vehicle was the next difficulty, and all
the officer's efforts to accomplish, this failed until
Monday evening, when, in consequence of infor-
mation he obtained, Shaw sought out and disco-
vered a man named Kirk, driver of the Hackney cab,
No. 1,186. Tfiis man, on being questioned, admitted
that he had been called from the stand in Joiner-
street, Southwark, to take up a fare in the neigh.
bourhood of New Weston-street. He was unable to
describe the exact spot, nor could he state any parti-
culars as to his fare, except that it was a female of
very respectable exterior. On being taken to Min-
ver-place by the officer, Kirk at once recognised the
house No. 3, as the place where he took up his fare,
and he then detailed with great minuteness the route
she was driven by himself. He said that when she
left Minver-place she had with her three large boxes
and a carpet bag. She first directed him to drive to
the London-bridge station of the South-Eastern
Railway, but, just as he was turning into the road
leading from the Borough to the terminus, she pulled
the check-string and bade him draw up his cab at the
door of Mr. Ash, stationer and printer, of N 0.5, Wel-
lington-street, Borough. Having done so, the woman
alighted and went into the shop, where, it
bas been ascertained, she puachased half a
dozen plain white cards. A— pen and ink
having been handed to her at her request, she wrote
directions on four of the cards. Upon one she wrote
as follows :—" Mrs. Smith, passenger to Paris. To
be left till called for." Upon another. " Mrs. Smith,
passenger, to be left till called for ;" and upon the
two other cards it is believed that only the words,
" Mrs. Smith, passenger," were written. Having
paid Mr. Ash for the cards, the woman re-entered the
cab and desired Kirk to drive her to the South-
Eastern station. Arrived here, she desired him to
call a porter belonging to the railway, and upon one
presenting himself, she requested him to obtain some
tacks in order to fasten the direction cards upon her
boxes. The porter presently did so, and on his return
she alighted from the.cab, and pointing out the two
largest boxes desired the man to append the two
directions first quoted, namely, " Mrs. Smith, pas-
senger to Paris, to be left till call for ;" and " Mrs.
Smith, passenger, to be left till called for." This was
done as directed, and the two boxes, by the woman's
desire, were conveyed into the luggage-office, with
directions that they were to be taken care of until
called for. The woman then re-entered the cab, and
was driven by Kirk to the London and North-
Western Railway station, where she alighted about a
quarter to six o'clock. Kirk saw her luggage, con-
sisting of one box and a carpet-bag, taken into the
station, and having been paid his fare drove away, and
saw no more of the woman.

These circumstances having been communicated to
Mr. Haynes, the superintendent of the detective
police, that officer at an early hour yesterday morn-
ing proceeded to the terminus of the South-Eastern
Railway, where he fortunately found the boxes
exactly as described, no inquiry having been made
for them since they were deposited on Monday week.
The suspicions previously entertained by Mr. Haynes
now ripened into certainties, and he at once sought
an interview with G. S. Herbert, the secretary to the
company, to whom he explained the whole matter,
and expressed the necessity of examining the con-
tents of the boxes. Mr. Herbert conferred with two
or three of the directors, who happened to be at the
station, and the 'Commissioners of Police having
backed Mr. Haynes's application by a request from
themselves to the same effect, the boxes were con-
veyed into the secretary's office, and there forced
open. The first glance at each disclosed a quan-
tity of female wearing apparel, which upon exami-
nation, proved to be marked with the name of
Maria Rue, the maiden name of Mrs. Manning. A
further examination discovered a quantity of ar-
ticles belonging to the deceased Patrick O'Connor,
and several letters writen by him to the supposed
murderess. Mr. Haynes now immediately proceeded
to the London and North-Western station, with the
view of tracing Maria Manning. His inquiries here
were fortunately most successful—in brief, we may
state, that he ascertained a female passenger, whose
luggage was marked with the name of Smith, had left
the Euston station on the morning of Tuesday, the
14th instant, by the 6.15 A.M. train, having booked
her place through to Edinburgh. There could be no
longer any doubt as to the direction the suspected
party had taken, and Mr. Haynes, at ten minutes to
one o'clock, telegraphed through to Edinburgh direct,
addressing the superintendent of the city police, and
informing him of the circumstances above detailed,
with a full description of the suspected party. Mr.
Haynes had scarcely arrived at Scotland-yard, on his
return, when a messenger from the telegraph office
reached there, bearing intelligence that Maria Manning
had been arrested upon the information forwarded by
Mr. Haynes, by Mr. Moxey, the chief officer of the
Edinburgh constabulary. The activity displayedby this
officer may be judged of from the fact that scarcely
an hour elapsed between the message having been
sent, and the reply communicating the gratifying in-
telligence of the woman's arrest. At a later hour
last evening another telegraphic message was received
from Edinburgh, communicating the result of a
search made of the prisoner's person and luggage, from
which it appears that the following property was
found upon her :—Seventy-three sovereigns, one 501.
note, and six 10Z. notes, five of these latter bearing
the numbers advertised yesterday as having been paid
to Manning en Saturday, the 11th instant, on the
presentation of one of the deceased's cheques. In
addition to this money, there was also found in the
woman's possession all the missing scrip of the
Sambre and Meuse, and Boulogne and Amiens Rail-
ways, known to have been in the possession of
the deceased, and some articles of wearing apparel
belonging to, him, In obedience to instruc-
tions sent down by telegraph, Mr. Moxey has
left Edinburgh in company with his prisoner,
and may be expected-to arrive , in town this
morning. The accused will, upon 'bier arrival, be
placed in custody at' the Gardner's-lane Police-sta-
tion, and brought up to' the chief police-office for
examination probably to-morrow- morning. The
boxes belonging' to her have been brought from the
South-Eastern Railway station to Scotland-yard,
where their contents underwent a second examination
last night. A great deal of excitement prevailed in
the neighbourhood of Scotland-yard. last " evening, in
consequence of 'a report that the accused ha'd arrived
in London, and a crowd of persoila surrounded the
station up to a late hour. -
Manning is still at large, and we fear we must add
that no clue to his retreat has been discovered. There
can be no doUlat, however, that he has very little
money in' his possession ; and this circumstance, it is
hoped, wilt have the effect of destroying all chance.of
his escape.
LATEST PARTICULARS.
HALF-PAST' ELEVEN P.l%ll—The police have just
received the following telegiaPhic message :—" Is
Manning in custody—send ha*: an immediate an-
swer." It is inferred from this that the,„.Edinburgh
police have some clue , to a person answering his
description.
(Br ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
EDINBURGH, Tuespa.r.—,A„ person, who there is
every reason to believe is Or the parties concerned
in the atrocious murder at Bermondsey, was appre-
hended in Edinburgh, on Tue-sday,--by Mr. Moxey,
superintendent of police. On:
,Monday evening Mr.
Mosey received a communication per electric tele-
graph from Inspector Haynes, Strand, London, and
in the course of his inquiries consequent thereon he
got such information as induced him to call, along
with a criminal officer, at a respectable lodging-house
in Addington-place, Edinburgh, on Tuesday fore.
noon. Upon inquiry there for Mrs. Smith, the name
which it was understood Mrs. Manning had assumed,
he was shown into a room, in which he found a well-
dressed woman reading a newspaper of the 20th inst.,
which gives an account of the mUrder and a descrip-
tion of the parties supposed to have committed it.
From the appearance of this person, Mr. Moxey at
once concluded that he had. fciind the party
of whom he was in search —the supposed murderess,
Mary de Reux, or Manning. After some conversa-
tion, Mr. Moxey charged her as being the person of
that name accused of the murder of Patrick O'Connor.
This she denied; but 'Mr. Moxey having taken pos-
session of and searched her luggage, had his previous
belief of her identity fully confirmed by finding
amongst her wearing. apparel the' vibOle of "the scrip
described 'in the advertisement regaiding the murder.
Besides other sorip,• her also found is her pOssessioti•

documents proving beyond a doubt that she was the
wife of Frederick George Manning, together with 75
sovereigns, and the following Bank of -England
notes :—One 501. note, No. 11,037 ; and six 101.
notes, Nos. 67,372, 67,37'3, 67,374, 67,375, 67,376
and 78,378; and one 51. note, No. 20,051.
The prisoner was at once taken to the police office
along with all her luggage, and will on Wednesday
be committed to prison, preparatory to her being re-
moved to London., No,information of her husband
has been obtained.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 20.
CIVIL SlDE—(Before Mr. Justice WISIITMAN

STANSFIELD V. SOWLEIt.

This was an action on the case fur an alleged libel
on the plaintiff, published in the Manchester Courier
of April 21, of which the defendant is the registered
proprietor, to which the defendant pleaded its truth as
a justification.
Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. Atherton appeared for
the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, Mr. Cromp.
ton, and Mr. Sowler for the defendant.

It appeared from the opening of the Learned.
Counsel, and from the evidence, that on the 10th of
April last a parish meeting was called of the rate-
payers of Burnley, for the purpose of electing the,
churchwardens and sidesmen for the parish. In the,
parish is a chapel of ease, at nabergharn Eaves, and a
differenCe had for some time existed between the Rev.
Mr. Master and his parishioners as to the appoint-
ment of a churchwarden for Habergbam Eaves, and
on its being proposed to elect a churchwarden, tt.reso-
lution was moved by the plaintiff to the effect that the
meeting should be adjourned to that day twelve-
months. This resolution the Rev. Mr. Master, who
was in the chair, refused to put to the meeting, and
.a
disturbance ensued, a person named Emmott being
proposed to the chair.' This disturbance was put an
end to by Mr. Master commencing Divine service,and
the meeting adjourned to the churchyard. An ac-
count of these proceedings was published in the.
Blackburn Standard, which was copied by the Man-
chester Courier, and commented on by the editor, and
it was of these comments that the plaintiff complained
as libelous, and calculated to injure his character.
The article complained of was as follows:--
" DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDINGS IN BCUNLEi
"We have elsewhere copied from the Blackburn
Standard a'report of certain proceedings at the annual
vestry held in Burnley'Church on Easter Ttiesday. For
a detail of the circumstances that gave' rise to the dis-
:graceful scene we must refer our readers to the report
itself, which bears internal evidence of having been
drawn up carefully and accurately. The chief actor Ap-
pears to have been a Mr. George Stansfield, a barrister,
formerly connected with the northern circuit, and now a
mazistrate of the county, carrying on the business of a
hanker. A short extract from the report will show that
the conduct of this Mr,,Stansfield rivals in virulence the
conduct of the most unscrupulous, of. Mr: Bright's fol-
lowers in the parish of Rochdale. A series of illegal
propositions are made to the meeting by Mr. Stansfield,
to which the Rev. R. M. Master, the excellent incum-
bent of Burnley,., with manifest propriety, refuses to
listen."

The report then goes on to say :
"On this. Mr. Stansfleld again proposed an amend-
ment, to the effect that as Mr. Master had not acted
with impartiality in refusing to ,put the amendment to
the meeting, he do now vacate the chair, end that a per-
son of the name of Emmott, a dissenter, do take it. Not-
withstanding Mi. Master declared immediately he should
do no such thing as leave the chair, Mr. Stansfield put
his amendment to the meeting, without giving any one
time to make any remark, calling for a show of hands on
his behalf, but never asking whether any one was opposed
to it. This movement was received with acclamation by
the Chartists, who immediately called upon Emmott to
take Mr. Master's place (the steps around she font), se-
conding their words by acts illustrative of their political
creed, forcing Emmott, nothing loth, up towards Mr.
Master, and threatening to lay violent hands on the
latter gentleman to dispossess him of his place, by such
cries as Pull him down!' Throttle him!' Seize him by
the legs!' &c. Mr. Master's friends immediately rushed
to his support, and drove back his assailants. In the
melee great uproar was made and several blows were
struck. This continued for some time, during which
the chairman sent for the police, and at the solicitation
of his friends called for a show of hands on behalf of
Messrs. W. and J. Smith. There being no objection
made, he declared them duly elected, and then dissolved
the meeting.
"During the greater part, if not the whole, of this
riot, Mr. Stansfield.stood by and never attempted either
by word or deed to check it. He denounced the
dissolution of the meeting as illegal, asserting that
Mr. Master had lost his authority over it ; and when
charged with advising, the rioters not to leave the
church, did not deny it, though it was then
time for the commencement of Divine service. Mr.
Stansfield intimated to Mr. Master that he approved of
the police being sent for, but when they came he pre-
vented them from acting according to Mr. Master's wish
in clearing the church.. Oa this Mr. Master intimated
that he should immediately commence Divine service,
and that he should hold any one guilty of disturbance in'
the church amenable to the law. On his entering the
reading desk Mr. Stansfield deliberated a few moments,
and then walked quietly off, followed by the rioters.
" Mr. Stansfield's position as, a magistrate and a banker
would bespeak his respectability. As for his degree of
barrister-at-law, we suspect it was always honorary,' in
every sense of the word, and that, although he was a
member of this circuit, he was a' silent' member, being
one of the briefless' fraternity. If our memory do not
fail us, he is the person who, a few years ago, at Lancas-
ter, broke faith with Mr. Baron Alderson, and drew
down the just rebuke of that high-minded and most able
judge, by failing to bring, into court a certain document
which he had promised his Lordship to go for, and send-
ing instead a stupid note to the judge, full of ignorance,
presumption, and disrespect. , The, circumstance must
be well known to the bar of this circuit.",
The libel proceeded :
" What are we to think of a well-dressed demagogue,
professing to be a Churchman, who could not only coun-
tenance but counsel the brutality which was exhibited
towards the Rev. Gentleman, who, we have good reason
to know, conducted himself with remark‘able temper and
forbearance in the discharge of duties which the law
compels him to perform, and who is esteemed by all
classes, but the bad, in the neighbourhood in which his
lot is cast."

Fie did not complain of being termed a " briefless
barrister"—that was no imputation upon any man ;
but he did complain of being accused of having, as a
magistrate and banker, broken his promise to Mr.
Baron Alderson, and, instead of sending to his Lord-
ship a document which he,' 'had promised to send; of
having written to him "'a stupid note, full of ignor-
ance, presumption, and disrespect." The facts of that
imputation werethese :—:Two men were indicted at
the Lancaster spring assizes for 1847 for haVing
conspired, to cheat the Yorkshire Insurance Com 7
pany, by sending in a larger claim for compen-
sation fer loss at a fire than they were. entitled
to. This policy had been deposited with Mr.
Stansfield, as a banker; as a security. To
it .
prove the charge, of conspiracy was necessary to
produce the policy of insiirance.' Mr. Stansfield was
not subpoenaed to produce it, but some. one said that
he had it;' upon: WhiCh Mr. Baton Alderson 'asked
where he W4B. Ile was then sitting in the Magis-
trate's INA in the'aiSiz-e.: court, and his Lbrdship or=
dered him to be examined; and he then said that
had the deciknent in hiS possession, but lie;lle4,lieen
requested
,by the,prisoner s Attornay, not to produce
it, and net havipg• reoeiiedany,Sulipcena he had not
brought it; but the policy was. in Lancaster.. Mr.
Baron Alderson said to Air. Stansfield in an angry
manner, " Do you come here, sir, to defeat the ends
of justice ?" Mr. Stansfield said, " Certainly not."
Mr. Baron Alderson then said; "Then go and fetch
ir, sir." Mr. Stanifieldthedleft thd court under the
impulse of the inOrkent,tUt'not'laeineyciilid.,tO
duce the document,' -mid irritated by --'111i; Baron
Alderson's manner and observations, he addressed to
his Lordship the follo*hleboie, ivhi,,ch was
,!the'
" stupid notefull of: ignorance, presumption, And
disrespect"—ailuded to
_ _

" Lancaster, Feb. 21, 1848.

" My Lord,--Your Lordship is Pleased• -to- impute to
me in open court a desire to defeat_ the.ends of criminal
justice, and to threaten me. leame, my Lord, to Lan
caster without subpoena from anybody, as, I believe, to
promote the ends of justice, not to defeat them; and
will not affect eau one shilling_ whether the jury give a
verdict in favour of one side or, the other, neither
directly or indirectly.. I shall .not submit, my Lord,
to such treatment, .or to your further imputations. I,
therefore, beg leave to, decline further attendance at.the
assizes.

" I am, my Lord, your obedient servant,
" GEORGE STANSFIELD.

" The Hon. Mr. Baron Alderson,"
That note, the Learned Counsel for the plaintiff said,
was a very proper note, and such a one as he would
have himself written under the same circumstances.
Mr. Baron Alderson had no right whatever to order
him to produce the policy. If the policy were re-
quired there was a proper legal course to take, by
serving Mr. Stansfield with a subpoena duces tecum to
insure its production. On the publication of the libel
complained of, Mr. Stansfield's attorney wrote to
Mr. Sowler, requesting to know who the writer was.
In answer to that Mr. Sowler offered to give equal
publicity to Mr. Stansfield's account of the transac-
tion. This answer not being satisfactory, the present
action was brought.
On the part of the defendant, on cross-examination
of the witnesses called to prove the disturbance at
the parish meeting and what took place in court at
Lancaster, it appeared that several' of the persons
present at the'pariSh meeting Were' Chartists, and the

[PRICE SD.

plaintiff clapped one of them (Emmott) on the back,
and told him to take the chair, and that at -the trial
at Lancaster, Mr.. Baron Rolfe, on being consulted
by Mr. Baron Alderson, said that under the circum-
stances, parole evidence of the policy ought to be
admitted, and that Mr: Stansfield Was liable to an
attachment for contempt of court for the course he
had taken.
Mr. Serjeant WILKINS, on these facts, contended,
in an able speech, that each part of the libel was
justified.

His LORDSHIP having summed up,
The jury retired, and after a short absence, found
a verdict for the defendant.

The case was not -concluded until six o'clock,
having occupied the whole day.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON)
William Jabez. Davies was indicted for having
feloniously concealed and embezzled a part of his.
estate with intent to defraud his creditors and in
violation of the bankrupt laws.
Mr. Mond and Mr.:Pollock ,conducted. the prose-
cution; the prisoner was defended by Mr. cobbett.
It appeared that the prisoner was foiineily a
plumber and "glazier at Manchester, and had peti-
titioned the Court of Bankruptcy in Manchester, and
had been adjudged a bankrupt; .He had afterwards
concealed and embezzled some of his goods. The
indictment charging the offence. did not allege that
Abe prisoiner liad'passed his examination, nor that he
had ever been examined before' the commissioner.,
For those omissions the Learned Counsel for the
defence demurred to the indictments, relying on' the
Case of "Rex v. Walters," as,_until the bankrupt bad'
been examined before th,e; Commissioner, and had had
the' opportunity of. discovering his property,
he cuuld,
not be indictedlfor fraUdulently
.concealing it. The''Learned Counsel 'for the prosecution contended' that'
the section of the statue sth ,ana 6th, Yictc,
creating the offence, did not !equire that, the'4l,,
bankrupt;
should have been examined; and that the offence w 0
i
complete without t.
Ills LORDSHIP, in .giving judgment, supported this
construction of the statute, and gave judgment for
the Crown on the demurer.. •
The •
prisoner was then called onto plead over to
• the felony, and pleaded
• Sentence was deferred. '

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
• GUILDHALL.

William- Isaac Fitch,- a traveller in.the service of
Messrs.. Morgan Martyre;-.and Co., wholesale:stag,
tioners, was placed at the bar charged before Sir Peter
Laurie with embezzling various sums of money to the
amount of 2001. and upwards.
Mr. France, of Godlimin- street, solicitor, attended
to prosecute, and stittedfthat he only intended to ad-
duce such evidence against the prisoner as would justify
the Alderman in grantingia remand. They had found
out defalcations to the amount of 2001., and-. there was
little doubt that if time were given others, to a,still
greater extent would be fliund. It would seem that
the prisoner's practice' 'was, that, having kept some
moneys back, when he got other sums of money, he
then paid up the old amounts.
Mr. Frederick George, of the firm of Morgan,
Alartyre, and Co., No. n 2, Farringdon-streetf said the
prisoner has been eight years in the'firm as a town
traveller. It was his duty, as well as that of others,
to enter daily into the cash-book all sums of money,
they received.
Sir PETER LAURIE—Then no running account was
allowed. For in all cases of embezzlement the pri-
soners attempt to make that their defence.
Mr. George said such was not the-case. They
were bound to enter the amounts received in the
cash-book every day. On Saturday last, in conse-
quence of a letter written to a Mr. Trimming, re-
specting his account, and requesting payment, as the
arrears had- been going on longer than usual, that
gentleman called, and produced the receipts which
he held in his hand. The first invoice for goods was
dated Oct. 13, 1848, and encled Dec. 12, 1848. On.
the 17th of February, 1849, there is a receipt in the
prisoner's handwriting for 20/., signed W. Fitch.
On the same paper, dated the sth of March, there is
another receipt of " By cash 11/. 12s. 6d., discount
165.; for Morgan, llartyre, and Co.; signed W.
Fitch." The next invoice began Dec. the 26th, and
ended 27th of February, 1849, and amounted, for
goods delivered, to 301. 3s. Upon that invoice there
was a receipt also, in the following terms :—" By
cash, for Morgan, Martyre, and Co., 301. 3s. W.
Fitch."

Sir P. LAURIE—Did he pay the money on those
days ? Mr. George—He did; but what he paid was
to settle other quarters' accounts that ought to have
been paid.
Mr. France said, that if the case was, adjourned
there would be plenty of cases against the prisoner,
for the firm had ascertained that morning that he had
received no less a sum than 1041. on the 4th of Au-
gust, which be had not accounted for. He therefore
hoped the Alderman would grant a remand.
Sir P. LAURIE said the embezzlements appeared to
be so extensive, that he; should. remand the prisoner
for a week ; in the meantime perhaps the-prosecutors
might make more important discoveries.
The prisoner, who wept much while at the bar,
declined saying anything, and was conveyed to the
Compter.
