WORSHIP-STREET.----(THIS DAY.)
A young man narecd John Freeman was charged with
embezzling various enm4 of money, the property of his
employer, Mr. \‘' tittle, auctioneer, Old street, St.
Luke's.

It appeared that up to the Ist of July last the prisoner
had been employed by Mr. Whittle as a cloth, and not
the slightest suspicion was entertained of his honesty.
A few days prior to this date the prisoner told his em-
ployer that his father had been suddenly plunged into
difficulties, and if he Mr. Whittle would cash a bill of
his (prisoner's) his lath( r and family Is ould he relieved
from their trouble. Mr. Whittle aF.sented to the
proposal, provided prisoner's father would endorse the
bill, This was apparently done, and the cash was
handed over. On the Male day the pri-oner was sent
for 231., the amount of a bill due which he received, hut
Mr. Whittle never saw him from that time to the pre-
sent. Subsequent investigation proved that the bill
purporting to have teen dtawn by the prisoner's father
was a forgery, and upon ( xsmination ef the book it
was ascertained that are prisoner had i:en carrying on
a system of plunder for s(mo time previous to his
absconding.
The prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, was
fully committed fur trial.
