DISGRACEFUL DISHONESTY BY A SERVANT.— —John
Ashton, a young man, was placed at the bar charged with
purloining various sums of money.
Mr. Newman, solicitor, prosecn!ed, and stated that the
prisoner was servant to Mr. John H. Fielder, proprietor
of the Anchor Brewery Stores, King's-road, Chelsea.
'When Mr. Fielder purchased the business in last March, he
found the prisoner, who had been in the employment of his
predecessor, oily receiving 1.25. per week, which he
increased to £1 ss. Notwithstanding this prisoner had
been guilty of embezzling various sums ho had received.
Mr. Newman theolwent into the details of cases he was in
a condition to prove, but said he would only take thorn
for the purposes of justice, and requested the magistrate,
under powers recently given him, to deal with the case
summarily, as the prisoner had admitted his guilt.
Evidence having been given of prisoner's admission of
having received the money spoken of, it was deemed
necessary to abandon these cases in consequence of the
absence 9f those who had paid the money, and a further
case was goo into for a small amount paid by a Mr. Elliss,
who was present.
Prisoner said he he had the money.

Prosecutor haaiog int6YCeded in his behalf, prisoner
was committed for three mon:lks•

MARLBOROUGH-STRZF,T.

A FORTUNATE Esc/a:T.—George Thorpe, a, respectable-
looking man, was charged before Mr. Knox w.itb being
drunk and furiously driving.
Wm. Hobbs, of No. 4 Upper Rathbone-place, said that
yesterday he saw the prisoner's trap coming by St. Giles's
Church at a terrific pace, one wheel being off the ground.
A number of children, who were crossing the road,
escaped, but one little fellow was knocked down. He went
after the trap, and, on its reaching Seven Dials, it was
stopped. The prisoner got out of his trap and wanted to
get in again, but WAS prevented ; but be also wanted to
get into the trap and drive the boy to the hospital, but he
was not allowed, and was taken to the station.
In answer to Mr. Knox, the witness said that the pri-
soner was drunk, and that the boy was not so much hurt
as was sapposed.
Police-constable Kennedy, 114 0, said he was told an
accident had occurred in High-street, and the last witness
said a boy had been knocked down. The boy complained
of his leg and head. He took the prisoner into custody,
and he had seen the boy's mother that morning, and she
said that the boy was not much hurt, and that he had been
compensated.

The prisoner said his horse ran away, and that he was
anxious to have taken the boy to the hospital, but that he
was not allowed.

Mr. Knox said it was a providential thing the boy was
not killed, and fined the prisoner 40s. or a month.

[AtivErrantErrd—Holloway's Ointment and Pills—
Beware of Changes.—Few persons can with impunity
withstand the many changes, from dry to wet, and from
cold to sultry, which characterise our present summers.
Sore throat, influenza, bronchitis, diarrhoea, and excessive
debility are only a few of the complaints now prevailing,
which may be set aside by rubbing liollowayie Ointment
twice a-day over the throat, chest, or abdomen, or as near
to the seat of mischief as possible, and taking his Pills
inwardly, not with the view of purging, but of purifying
and regulating. This well-known and easy mode of treat-
ment will, shortly after its first employment, check all un-
favourable symptoms, secure coolness and comfort, and
resoue the invalid from danger.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60
days sight was iOn per cent. on the '9th inst. At this rate ther
would be a loss on the transmission of gold from the Uttited
States.
