ATTENBOROUGH DIMSDALE.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a silver-

bill of exchange, purporting to be accepted and endorsed by
the plaintiff. The defence was that the bill had been im-
properly obtained, and no valuable consideration received
for it.

The evidence was at great length, and seemed likely to
occupy the Court for a great part of the day.

BO `V-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Thomas Erskine Souper, late secretary to the Thames
Plate Glass Company, was brought np before Mr. Henry
fur final examination, on various charges of embezring
the moneys of the company. On;tbe last hearing the
ct”et was postponed to give the prosecutors an opportu-
nity of bringing up evidence from Manchester relating
to defalcations of the prisoner in connexion with their
trade in that town; but they now preferred to abandon
that part of the charges, and proceeded with two
transactions, amounting respectively to 5551. and 521. the
latter being a sum received in payment of a bill from
Mr. Radcliffe, of No. 32, Chichester-place, liing's-cross,
the former being paid on the account of a tradesman at
Brighton. It appeared, that so far back as September
last, Mr. Halcombe, the book-keeper of th• company,
observing chscrepancies between the books of the prisoner
and the banker's pass-book, observed to him that he was
deficient in his cash. To which the prisoner replied, that
he knew there was something short, but he would make
it right in a few days out of his sala6T. But the first in-
timation Mr. Blandford, the manager, bad of the defal-
cations was from the policeman, to whom Mr. Souper
voluntarily surrendered himself, as a defaulter, on the
11th inst. at Bow-street station-house. On that occa-
sion ho stated that his deficiencies amounted to 1,0001.
He was committed for trial.
