POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE.

EMBEZZLEMENT. Frederick Charles Fisher, 40,
Charlotte-terrace, Islington, an attorney's clerk, was
charged before the Lord Mayor with embezzling 171.,
the property of his employer, Mr. Henry D. Ilderton,
an attorney, of Fenchurch-street.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had
been for some time in the prosecutor's employ. On
the 2d May the prisoner informed the prosecutor that
on the previous day, in his absence, he had received a
check for 101. 178., from Mr. Jones, of 17, Poland-street,
Oxford-street, which he had paid to prosecutor's ao
count at Messrs. Barclay and Co., bankers. At the
end of August, when prosecutor's cash book was made
up there was no entry on the check for 10/. 175., but
the prisoner persisted in saying he had paid it in.
Mr. Jones deposed that on the 30th April he paid
to prisoner 10/. 175., at the prosecutor's office. He
believed he paid the prisoner in notes and cash; prisoner
gave him tke receipts produced on receipt of the money.
There were other charges against the prisoner of em-
bezzling small sums of money, paid to him by clients on
account of his employer—viz., Harrison, 3/. ; Treron,
30e.; and Phillips, 21.; and in regard to the latter he
furnished his master with a receipt that he bad paid it
over to another client, which was supposed to be a for-
gery. The prisoner, who is 26 years of age, was paid
15s. per week wages.
The prosecutor intimated his desire of abandoning the
other charges ; and, after hearing further evidence, the
prisoner was committed on the charge of embezzling
101. 17s.

EXTRAORDINAEY CASE.—UTTERING FORGED BANK
NOTES.—Richard Crompton Barford, described on the
police sheet as a butcher, of 13, Thomas-street, Cam-
bridge-road, Mile-end, was charged with uttering, on
four different occasions, four 51. Bank of England notes.
Miss Day, of Fenchurch-street, deposed that she
assisted her mother, who keeps a ham and tongue shop
in Fenchurch-street. About six weeks since the pri-
soner came to the shop and purchased a small quantity
of ham and beef, and tendered in payment of Is. Bd. a
51. note. Before changing it he asked for a pen and
ink, and wrote a name and address on it.
Prisoner (a dirty-looking fellow with a white smock)
—I always write any name and address on all notes 'I
get changed.

Witness said she was unable to identify the note from
the four produced. About a week or so afterwards he
came, had the same quantity of beef, and paid for it bya
5/. note. He repeated the trick on two subsequent
occasions, and on each occasion he bad change
given to him. She was unable positively to iden-
tify the notes. Yesterday morning two of the
notes that had been paid away were returned
as forgeries, ou which she went to the cashbox
and took out the other two notes which were also found
to be forgeries. Yesterday afternoon the prisoner again
called at the shop to purchase some more beef and ham,
when she refused to serve him, and told him she had a
charge against him for giving her forged notes. He
appeared surprised at what she said and replied heknew
where be got them. In the meantime an ()Moor was
sent for privately, and he Was given into custody of
Monis, one of the deteetivw, and police constable 636.
The prisoner when he called at the shop used the name
of Mr. Pallett a neighbour, and when the prisoner was
given into custody she sent for that gentleman.

The prisoner, who appeared to take the matter very
coolly, declined to question the witness, but said, " She
has said nothing but what is the truth. It you give me
time I will prove who I had the notes from."
The Lord Mayor—You shall have plenty of time for
that. I shan't let you go before the case has been folly
investigated.

Police-constable 636, who apprehended the prisoner,
said that when he searched kim he found a 101. note on
him, which he had reason to believe was a forgery. No
money was found on him.

Inspector Sc3tt said the prisoner at the station had
said he had the notes at Croydon in payment for some
sheep.

The prisoner was ultimately remanded.
