POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—March 2.

MANSION-ROUSE.--Charles Stanmore, 18,
was charged with embezzling monies to the amount
of £75, received by him on account of his employer,
Mr. W. Williams, of Gutter-lane, manufacturer, in
whose eervice he had been collector.

Mr. P. Macdonald, printer, Sutton-street Clerk-
enwell, deposed that he dealt with Mr. Williams,
and that on the sth of November last he paid to
the prisoner on account of the prosecutor £3 9s. 3d.,
and received the receipt produced. Also that he
paid to the prisoner the rum of £6 6s. in the same
way on the 4th of February last.
Miss A. Poulson said she lived with her brother,
a fancy box maker, in Bunhill-row, and that on the
17th of January last she paid to the prisoner, on
account of Mr. Williams, the sum of £5 165., for
which the prisoner gave her the receipt produced.
Mr. L. Collingridge, of 117, Aldersgate-street,
printer, produced a receipt for £2 17s. 6d., paid by
him to the prisoner on account of Williams, on the
21st of December last.

After some other evidence as to similar payments,
Mr. G. Alce, clerk to the prosecutor, said the
prisoner had been in the employ of Mr. Williams,
who is a collar manufacturer, as collector, and should
have accounted to witness for all sums of money
received by him on the same day on which he re-
ceived them. The receipts produced were all in
his handwriting ; but he had never accounted to
witness for any of the sums to which they referred,
nor was there any entry to the credit of the diffe-
rent parties for those amounts in the books of the
firm. When spoken to about these nuns, the pri-
soner made a variety of excuses, saying that he had
applied from time to time without being able to
get them.

Police-constable 348 said he took the prisoner
into custody at the house of a friend, and on ask-
ing him why he had absented himself from his
business that day, he said he was ashamed to show
his face. He said he had spent the various sums
of money which he had embezzled, in the Hay-
market, with other lads of his own age.
The prisoner, who said nothing when called upon
for his defence, was fully committed for trial.

GUILDHALL.—Wm. Francis Vandervel, a mer-
chant, was brought up on a warrant about a fort-
night ago, charged with fraudulently appropriating
to his own use certain securities in the shape of
bank and railway shares, of the value of £7,000,
belonging to Anne Bruce Borland and others, was
again placed at the bar for examination relative to
that charge.
The prisoner, who reserved his defence, was com-
mitted for trial.

WESTMINSTER.—Miss Martha Augusta Ar-
thur Richards, of 13, Chester-street, Grosvenor-
place, was charged with fraudulently obtaining
1 1 .

Mr. James Phipps, of 36, Belgrave-street, Pim-
lico, butcher, stated that shortly before the 17th of
January the accused's servant brought him a
cheque for 111 on the London and County Bank,
which he cashed. He paid the cheque into his
bankers, Messrs. Cocks, Biddulph, and Co.,
and it was returned to him with a statement that
there were no effects to meet it. He sent to the
accused repeatedly about the matter, but could get
no satisfaction, and on his sending her the cheque
he was informed she burnt it. She had endea-
voured to obtain cash of him for a L5O cheque, but
finding the first dishonoured he of course refused to
take the second.

In cross-examination by Mr. Lewis, jun., prose-
cutor could not say whether the £ll cheque was
postdated one day. Could not say that £l3O was,
paid into her account at the London and County
Bank next day. To the best of his belief the manager
told him she had closed her account. Directly after
he had sent the cheque to his bankers, accused
sent to him to say he could, have the £ll ; but as
he had sent the cheque away he said he could not
take it—she must pay it into her bank to meet the
cheque. Prosecutor had heard she had purchased
the lease of her house in Chester-street and its costly
furniture at an outlay of £5,000.
It having been stated that prosecutor was not
prepared with evidence from the London and County
Bank. Mr. Arnold said he must adjourn the ease.
Mr. Lewis pointed out the pitiable condition of
his client, who had been supported in fainting. fits
during the hearing. A warrant had been obtained
against her by Mr. Phipps, as though she were a com-
mon swindler. She was a lady of very good family,
who had not the slightest intention to defraud any-
one, and he could prove that she had paid in Xl3O the
next day after Mr. Phipps had cashed the cheque,
to meet that and other liabilitie, besides 3,, kich it
was quite clear she had sent Mr. Phipps the money,
which he had refused to take.

Mary Woosten, one of the accused's servants,
proved having offered to pay Mr. Phipps the £ll.
Mr. Arnold said that Mr. Phipps's conduct had
been most disingenuous, in keeping back from his
knowledge when he applied for the warrant the
fact that the £ll had been offered. lie (Mr.
Arnold) must, however, further investigate the
charge, but would take the accused's own recog-
nisance to appear again in a week.
A second charge of fraud against her for obtain-
ing a silk dress was also postponed.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—At the late collision OA
the North British Railway at Linton, several fog signals
which were in the guard's van were thrown into come coal
trucks, and there lost sight of. The coals were disposed of
to several persons in Linton, and among others a quantity
was supplied to Mr. Mason, banker. While placing some
of them on the fire, the attention of a servant was attracted
by one of the fog signals in question, which was lying
among the coals ; but not being aware of the character of
the object, she threw it on the fire. Here it lay for some
time, until Miss Mason, observing the peculiar appearance
of the signal, took it out. Mi. Christie, of Over Hanes,
happening to call at the time, found Miss Mason inspecting
the strange-looking mineral ; and when the application of the
lady's scissors failed to give any satisfaction, Mr. Christ/I
determined to test its qualities by breaking it. Laying the
signal on the hearthrug, he gave it a smart blow with the
poker, and the result which followed may be easily
imagined.
With a deafening concussion the signal immediately ex-
ploded, spreading alarm all around. Fortunately Miss Matson
escaped without injury ; but a portion of the signal shell
struck Mr. Christie on the head, laying bare a portion of
his scalp, while the heed of the poker, which was blown off,
struck him on the wrist, and inflicted a severe wound.
Medical aid was immediately procured, and Mr. Christie is
recovering favourably from the effects of the untoward oc-
eurrence.—/faddingtonshire Courier.
