POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MANSION-HOUSE.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.
James Mayland, traveller to Messrs. Coleman, mustard
and starch manufacturcra, Cannon-street, City, was
brought up for final examinatioti, charged with em-
bezzling various sums of money be had received on thtir
account.

Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the prisoner, complained
that the statement made on a former occasion with re-
gard to the prisoner's defalcations .was an exaggeration,
and asked that an opportunity might be given for an
examination of the presecutors'.books, to ascertain the
exsct amount.

Mr. Wontner, for the prosecution, 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 amounti would be
found to have been received by the prisoner, and not
s7.caunted for by him, when the books had been
thoroughly examined.
The prisoner was committed for trial.
FORGERT.—A. fashionably dressed young man, with
an abundance of moustache, named Stout, was charged
before the Lord Mayor with forging the acceptance to a
bill of exchange for 251., with intent to defraud hie em-
ployer Mr. Judkine, agent for the sale of sowing ma-
chines. _

The prisoner was ordered by his employer to go to,
in July, 1854, with a sowing machine. Shortly
after that the prosecutor when in Manchester received a
letter containing the bill in question, and endorst-d in
the name of Mr. Cross, of Milbay, Plymouth, to whom
the sowing machine was sold. The bill was paid in
with others to the prosecutors' bankers, and on its be-
coming due it was returned, on the ground that 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
hits 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 similar
to the one produced, which that gentleman forwarded
to the prosecutor. at' Manchester. He wax, however,
unable to identify the bill ari 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.
