CLERKEN WELL.

Edward Martin, who was remanded on a charge of
having fraudulently obtained 671. from Mrs. Elizabeth
Gregory, of Barking, Essex, was again placed at the bar
before Mr. Tyrwhitt, for further examination.
Mr. Daniel Gregory, husband of the prosecutrix, who
had advanced the prisoner 10. i., under a representation
that it was part payment for expenses to obtain posses.
sion of an estate at Brentwood, Essex, of Lady Hub-
bard, to whom his wife was next of kin, and Miss Gre-
gory, an interesting, intelligent young woman, gave evi-
dence in confirmation of the evidence for the prosecution.

The prisoner, it appeared, had made a proposal of mar-
riage to Miss Gregory in the event of the estate being
obtained for her parents.
Mr. TTRWRITT said he should commit the prisoner
for trial, and in doing so ho should be happy to remove
an impression that the prisoner had effected the ruin of
the prosecutrix's daughter. That remark he considered
due to her under the trying circumstances.
Mr. Sidney thanked his Worship, and suggested an.
other remand in order that he might produce necessary
evidence from Doctors' Commons and the Lord Chan-
cellOr's office.

The prisoner was then remanded.
LAMBETH.

Samuel Smith Mickieburgh, a well- dressed and re-
spectable-looking young man, was placed at the bar on
Saturday before the Hon. G. C. Norton, on suspicion
Of having wilfully set fire to the premises of Mr. W.
H. Fleming, an extensive brewery on Camberwell-
green,and also with embezzling 1001., the moneys of
his late employer.
From the statement of Mr. T. B. Fleming, a solicitor
and brother to the prosecutor, it appeared that the
prisoner had been in the service of Mr. W. H. Fle-
mine- as confidential clerk at his brewery on Camber-
welrgreen for eight or nine years, and had been dis-
charged about- a month. Since his discharge some
irregularities had been discovered in the accounts, which
led to an investigation, and the result was a discovery
that' upwards of 1001. received by the prisoner had
not that:
properly accounted for. In consequence of
this discovery the Messrs. Fleming sent for the pri-
soner on Friday morning, and, placing before him a list
of the sums found to have been irregularly entered on
the books, asked him to explain the matter. The pri-
soner admitted that come of the entries were irregular,
but still declared that the whola of the moneys received
by him had been regularly paid in. 'The Messrs.
Fleming, notwithstanding his assertion, told him at the
time they had no doubt he had embezzled moneys to the
amount of at least 1001, at the same time they did not
wish to take him by surprise, and should allow him to
remain at large, and bring a solicitor with him on the
following (that) morning to go through a regular ex-
amination of the accounts, with the view of ascertaining
the exact amount of the deficiency. This arrangement
having been decided on, the boobs were placed in an
iron safe in the counting-house, and locked up in the
prisoner's presence. On the same night, or rather at
one o'clock on Saturday morning, a fire originated in the
counting-house where the books were placed, which
led toahe total destruction of the whole of Mr. Flem-
ing's premises, and the consumption of property amount-
ing to nearly 3,0001., and also to the burning of two
valuable horses. The suspicion entertained against the
prisoner arose from the fact of his having been found on
the premises shortly after the breaking out of the fire,
from the fire itself having occurred at the very place
where the books were deposited, and from the benefit he
might derive by the destruction of the hooks containing,
the false.entries, by which alone his delinquency could be
established. The books, however, have escaped destruc-
tion with the exception of their covers, and the leaves are
sufficiently perfect to be examined.
Mr. Henry Daace, who succeeded the prisoner in his
situation, deposed that between nine and ten o'clock on
found
everything night before he went round the premises, and
everything perfectly safe. The counting-house, he
perfectly confident, was without fire or light,
except one
Was
small light in the brewery. At about ono o'clock he
awoke by a strong smell of fire, and immediatelyeawftaers
a
heard loud knocking at the front door, and of
"Fire!" and on getting out of bed found the counting-
house on fire, but the brewery at that time was free
from fire.
In reply to a question from the magistrate the wit-
ness said he had not seen the prisoner at or near the
premises on Friday evening or night.
Mr. James Brown, landlord of the Tiger public-house,
on Camberwell-green' said,erso that on the night before the
prisoner and anotherncame to his house at about
five minutes before twelve o'clock, and remained at his
bar until the cry of " Fire!" was raised. On looking
out witaess said he thought it was the school houses
that were on fire, but the prisoner said it was the
brewery.
Henry Tuck Hagan, a cab master, said that about a
quarter to twelve o'clock he got on an omnibus at the
Elephant and Castle, on which ho found the prisoner.
They rode toeether to the Tiger on Camberwell-green,
and they both got off the vehicle and remained at the
Tiger until the fire was discovered.

The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said, that after
leaving the Messrs: Fleming he wrote a letter to his
solicitor, but this he subsequently destroyed, and had
spent the evening in walking about Islington. He then
came to the Elephant and Castle, and got on an omnibus
there, as stated by the last witness.
Mr. Fleming requested a remand, to give an oppor-
tunity to have the particulars of the fire inquired into
by Mr. Carter, the coroner.

_ .
Mr. NORTON thought such an inquiry very desirable,
and remanded the prisoner for a week. He, however,
accepted bail for his attendance, himself in 2001., and
two sureties in 100/. each.

George Groves, a footman in the service of Mrs. Har-
riett •Kemble, of Tulse-hill, sister-in 'law to the late
Member, for Surrey, was brought up on 'a charge of steal-
ing and pawning upwards of 1001. worth of plate, the
property of his mistress, and afterwards absconding, on
Monday last.—The prisoner was remanded.

[ADVERTISEMENT,]—DIARRHCEA OR BOWEL COM-
PLAINTS CURED BF HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—At this sea-
son of the year disordered Bowels are most prevalent,
caused, in many instances, by eating too freely of vege-
tables or fruit. Let those suffering from this complaint
try Holloway's Pills, which are of so strengthening a
nature, that they quickly restore the impaired tone of
the stomach, and permanently renovate the digestive
organs. Bile and diseased liver may be infallibly cared
by their use, therefore residents in the East and West
Indies cannot have recourse to a more effectual remedy.
As a family medicine it is unequalled, and it may be
safely used by, both sexes at any age.—Sold by all
Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment,

THE SEA- SERPENT.,--The sea-serpent has been
seen 1 The sea-serpent must be caught ! The sea-
serpent must; be made useful I The sea-serpent -will
really turn out a useful animal; and its dis-
covery is certainly the greatest that has taken
place since that of gunpowder. Having caught
your sea-serpent, we should recommend that he be
perfectly trained for drawing line-of-battle ships, while
those of a tender age might be usefully employed in tug-
ging barges down the canals. In canals the Sea-ser-
pent would above all be invaluable. By using ani-
mals as suggested, we should obtain the security and
safety of barge navigation with more than the swiftness
of steam. The Sea-serpent would not destroy the banks
—an evil vrhWi has hitherto made steam.navigation
impossible on canals; and the only inconvenience that
could possibly arise would be that of a stray passenger
being occasionally snapped up by the infuriated brute.
