Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the prisoner, complained
that the statement made on a former occasion with re-
gard to the prisoner's def-dcations was an exaggeration,
and asked that an oppor:.unity miglit be given for ,an
examinrtion of the prosecutor' books, to ascertain the
exact amount.

3‘lr. Wontner, for the prasecuti,,n, said the books
should be examined and a list of the defalcations handed
to the prisoner. At the first examination defalcations to
the amount of 4001. were discovered, and 4001. had since
been discovered. No doubt other amounts would be
found to have been received by the prisoner, and not
acc)unted for by him, when the books bad been
thorouibly examined.
The Msoner was committed for trial.
FORQERY.—A fashionably dresse I young man, with
an abundance of moustache, named Stout, was charged
before the Lord Mayor with forging the ac3Ttanee to a
bill of exchange for 25/., with intent to defraud his em•
ployer Mr. Judkins, agent for the sale of sowing, ma-
chines.

The pri•mner was ordered by his employer to go to
Plymouth in July, 1354, with a sowing machine. Shortly
after that the prosecutor when in Manchester received a
letter containing the bill in question, and endorsed in
the name of Mr. Cross, of Milbay, Plymouth, to whom
the sowing machine was sold. The bill wax paid in
with others to the prosecutors' bankers, and on its be-
coming due it was returned on the ground_tliat the ac-
ceptance was a forgery. Shortly before that the prisoner
left the prosecutor, and although he knew the prisoner
was engaged at the Paris exhibition, he did not write to
him respecting the bill, nor take steps to have him ap-
prehended on account of the expense.
. The prosecutor and his witnesses were unable to
identify any of the writing on the bill as that of the
prisoner's.
Mr. Cross, in whose name the bill was accepted, pur-
chased a machine of the prisoner in July, 1854, paying
him 101. on account ; 51. more was to be paid at the
end of three months, and the balance by arrrangement.
The acceptance on the bill in question was not in wit-
ness's handwriting, nor written by his authority. In
October following witness paid the prisoner at Plymouth
the balance of the account. That was before the bill
became due.

The prisoner bad not accounted to his employer for
the money received as above, but he handed to Mr.
Dresser, for the prosecution, a bill of exchange sirci;ar
to the one produced, which that gentleman forwarded
to the prosecutor at Manchester. He was, however,
unable to identify the bill as being the same.
The prisoner was committed for trial on the charge of
forgery, and also that of embezzlement. Bail was ten-
dered, but refused.
