Meylard is a clothier. I found when I got in, that election

be-
A respectable-looking youth, named Batt, was brow,
em'
fore Mr. Alderman Thomas Wood, on the charge a e'^-
bezzlement.
Aq. James Williams stated that he was a solicitor, residihldss
at N 4. Coleman-street. The prisoner had been this
employment for upwards of five months, and, on the 4th °' of
month, he was sent to receive some rent due to witness out
4.
premises lie held in Knight Rider-street, Doctors' Comm at.
The tenant paid 51. to the prisoner, who only accounted for,
to the witness. A similar circumstance having occurred

]at Monday, the prisoner was given into custody. . -per'
Mr. Alderman WOOD said this was a melancholy case V re,
baps Mr. Williams would be satisfied to have the ca---dio
manded until to-morrow. The prisoner was young, t! any
judge by appearances not hardened in crime ; if there .afer!'bos
other proofs of his diAionesty it would be easier to laoly

to act.
Mr. Williams not feeling. inclined to accede to the ,u4ges.
Lion, the prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial.
