Mr. Justins observed that he should not be satisfied
with such a representation, and at his (Mr. Justins's)
request,
The MAGISTRATE ordered the property to be handed
over to a constable, and bound the witness over to attend
at the next examination.

Po:ice c, nstable Redford, 52 L, deposed that he went
to the House No. 16, Palace New-road, where the
pisoner lodged, and there found the portmanteau and
the articles then produced.
Mr. David Williams, a draper of Brailth, in Breck-
nockshire, said, that on Tuesday last, be was a passen-
ger by the afternoon train on the Great Western Rail-
way, and his luggage consisted of a carpet bag and a
portmanteau, and which was put into the luggage wag-
gon. On arriving at the Paddington station, the carpet
bag was found safe, but the portmanteau could not be
found. It belonged to his daughter, who accompanied
him, and contained besides a variety of dresses, a purse
with from thirty to forty shillings in silver, and an old
fashioned and valuable gold watch belonging to a c'egy-
man, and which he brought to town to have repaired.
Miss Sarah Williams, the daughter of the last witness.
identified the whole of the property produced as hers
She also identified the portmanteau found at the pri-
soner's lodging.
Mr. Collard here said he had every reason to believe,
that if the prisoner was remanded for a few days, he
should be able to get some further important in-
formation.

The prisoner, who offered nothing in defence, was ac-
cordingly remanded to a future day.

Just as Mr. Traill was about to quit the bench, a
middle-aged, respectable-looking man was placed at the
bar, charged with embezzling large sums of money, the
property of his employers, Messrs. Tate and Co., coal-
merchants, Bankside.
Mr. Stephen Nelson Tate said that the prisoner had
been in their employ as collecting clerk about two years.
It was his duty to receive money and pay it over to him
every evening. In consequence of some of the out-
standing accounts not being paid, inquiries were insti-
tuted, and it was soon discovered that several consider-
able sums of money had been received by the prisoner,
which he had not accounted for. The prisoner, finding
that inquiries hail been made, absconded, and had not
been heard of until he was taken into custody by a City
police-constable on the previous evening. He was, con-
sequently, taken before the Lord Mayor at the Man-
sion-house, who sent the case to this court.
In answer to Mr. Traill, witness added that the defal-
cations have all occurred since January, 1846. He
wished the prisoner to be remanded, as he had not been
able to get the witnesses together ; there were, how-
ever, two in court who had paid the prisoner 701. which
I he had not accounted for.

Mr. TRAILL asked the prisoner whether he wished to
say anything at the present stage of the inquiry ? He
replied, in a very desponding tone, that he had nothing
to say, only he hoped they would not send him to a cold
cell. He was now completely wet through, and so weak,
that he could hardly stand.
Mr. TRAILL remanded him until Wednesday, and
directed the officer to convey him direct to Horsemon-
ger-lane gaol.
