POLIC2 INTELLIGENCE—Nov. 6.

GUILDHALL.—Robert Ernest Graham, clerk
and manager in the employ of Mr. Samuel Lewis
Nathan, wolesale watch-manufacturer and jewel-
ler, of 29, Thavies-inn, Holborn, was charged with
stealing a nominal amount of property to the value
of £l2O, but the total amount of the prisoner's de-
predations upon his master is stated to extend to
some thousands of pounds.
Mr. Lewis, jun., for the prosecution, said this
was a case in which the prisoner had been carrying
on a wholesale system of plunder, of which Mr.
Nathan, his employer, had been the victim.
Mr. Neate, solicitor to the Pawnbrokers' Asso-
ciAtion, appeared to watch the case on behalf of
Mr. Walter, the pawnbroker, who was required to
attend and give evidence.
Mr. Nathan said—lam a watch manufacturer
and jeweller, and carry on business at 29, Thavies-
inn, Holborn. The prisoner has been in my service
for the last three years. He was clerk and manager
of my business. I am absent a good deal from town,
and in my absence I leave everything to the pri-
soner's management. Mr. Rowland, the watch-case
manufacturer, makes cases for me, and among other
duties the prisoner had to deliver or send to Mr.
Rowland from time to time watch movements to
have cases made to them. Upon every movement
there is a number, which the prisoner would have
to copy into the book, and then recopy upon a
ticket, to be delivered with each watch movement.
When the movements and the new cases were re-
turned by Mr. Rowland there was merely an in.
voice of the number of watches and cases and their
weight sent with them, and it was the prisoner's
duty to see that the number stamped by Mr. Row-
land on each of the cases corresponded with the
numbers on their respective movements and those
entered in the stock-book at the time the move-
ments were sent out. I produce my stock-book, on
the 64th page of which I find an entry of two move•
Talents and cases, numbers 22,371 and 22,372--
Alderman Phillips—Before you go any further,
give me the date of that entry, or we shall get into
sonic confusion.

Mr. Nathan—We have no dates in the book, as
only the number of watches, and the.numbers of
each, are entered.

After some further evidence the prisoner was re•
manded for a week.

FALL OF AN AEROLITE.—Two men in France
took shelter in a barn for the night. In the morning one
of them was found dead, with severe injury to the head.
The comrade was at once arrested, and told some "cock and
bull" story about the terrible storm of the night in question,
and attributed his companion's death to the effect of a thun-
derbolt. He was not credited, and was in a fair way to be
executed for the supposed crime. A scientific gentleman,
hearing of the circumstance, examined the place, and found
a hole in the roof of the barn, and an aerolite close to the
spot where the deceased had slept on the night in question.
The innocence of the accused was at once considered as
established, and he was released.—Notes and Queries.
