WHOLESALE ROBBERY OP BOOTS AND SHOES BY A
SHOPMAN.—Thomas Wyburn, shopman to Mr. John
Butler, boot and shoemaker, of 100, Tottenham-court-road,
was charged before Mr. Bingham with plundering his
master to a large amount of boots and shoes, a considerable
quantity of which were produced in court by Lambert, 68 E.
Lambert, 68 E, said in consequence of information he
received he went to Mr. Butler's, 100, Tottenham-court-
road, at seven the previous evening. He saw the prisoner
and told him he was a police officer, that he had received
information that he had been robbing hie master for a long
time, and that he had a great deal of property at his lodg-
ings, which he denied. He then told him that he should
go and see, and the prisoner then said, "I've two or three
pairs there belonging to my master." He asked the pri-
soner if he lived at 16, Warren-street, and he replied that he
did, and, on his proceeding there, accompanied by Mr.
Butler, he found in the prisoner's room 22 pairs of women's
boots, 24 pairs of children's boots, 9 pairs of shoes, 4 pairs
of goloshes, and about 601bs. of leather. (A sample of the
property was produced.)
Mr. John Butler, boot and shoemaker, of 100, Totten-
ham-court-road, said the prisoner had been in his employ,
as shopman, six or seven years or more, in one of his shops.
He had been missing property of late. He accompanied
on the previous night the officer to 16, Warren-street, the
prisoner's lodging, and saw the officer find property, which
he was able to identify, to the amount of £lO at least.

Mr. Bingham, after the usual caution, asked the prisoner
whether he wished to say anything ; and, on his reply-
ing in the negative, he was committed for trial.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK.--Samuel Bucknall, a
young man of respectable exterior, was brought before Mr.
Selfe charged with embezzling £8 9s. 3d., and other sums
he had received for and on account of his employers.
The prisoner had been for many years employed at the
goods station of the North Western Railway, in Hayden-
square, Minories, and had been advanced from a subordi-
nate position to the office of clerk. He absconded a few
weeks ago, and went to Bristol, and it was then found that
several sums he had received were not accounted for, and
that he had appropriated them to his own use. The pri-
soner wrote a letter to the principals of the firm acknow-
ledging his defalcations, and came back to London, and was
apprehended. One case only was gone into, and the pri-
soner was remanded for the production of further evidence.
