MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—May 3.

(Before Mr. Pashley, Q.C., Assistaut•Judgo, at West-

minsttr.)

Thomas Francis Richards, solicitor, of Southampton-
buildings. surrendered to take his trial on an indictment
in which be was charged in the first count with having
stolen a Bank of England note for 3001., the property of
James Fluker, his master, and in the second with hav-
ing feloniously embezzled the sum of 261. 154. 6d.,
which he had received in his capacity of servant to the
said James Fluker. The count charging the theft of the
3001. note was formal merely, the real offence with which
the prisoner was charged being the embezzlement of the
smaller sum.

Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Parry were counsel for the
prosecution. Mr. Serjeant Pigott and Mr. Huddleston
were for the prisoner. It was stated that Mr. Hawkins
was also instructed for the prisoner, but could not at-
tend through indisposition.
In opening the case, Mr. Ballantine said the issue the
jury would have to determine was one of the last import.
ance to the accused, involving as it did not only his loss
of character, but perhaps consequences of the most
serious nature. The prisoner had been articled clerk to
a solicitor ; he had been assigned to the prosecutor for
the remainder of the term of his articles, and he left
him without the least suspicion .whatever of any dis-
honesty, and became an attorney on his own account.
While with the praeecator he had charge of the chan-
cery matters in his office, and had to take all the pro-
ceedings in a case, " The Oundle Brewery Company."
which, like a great many more companies, had to be
brought under the operation of the Winding-up Act, in
so far as the interest of a Mr. Bearschall, a shareholder,
was concerned. Mr. Bearschall was a client of Mr.
Nicholson, a solicitor, at Warrington, whose London
agent was the prosecutor, Mr. Fluker. The matter oc-
curred in Septembtr, 1854, and was not discovered
until Easter Monday in the present year. The learned
counsel having-concluded his statement, called
The prosecutor, who deposed that he was an attorney-
at-law, and had offices in Syinond's-inn, Chancery-lane.
In 1853 he saw an advertisement in the Icris Times, to
which he replied, and in consequence became acquainted
with the prisoner, who was then an articled clerk, and
he arranged to receive him into his office for the re-
mainder of the term of his articles, agreeing to give him
501. a year salary. He was London agent to Mr. Ni-
ceolson of Warrington, who had a client named Bears-
chall who was connected with the Oundle Brewery Com-
pany.' The affairs of the company were being wound
up, and he had to pay the calls which were made upon
Mr. Bearschall. In August, 1851, a call was made of
151. per share, under which Mr. Bearschall had to pay
300/. On the 29th of August he received from Mr. Ni-
cholson the halves of notes to the amount of 3001. to
pay the call, and on the 30th the other halves arrived,
and they were paid into his banker:', Messrs. Dixon and
Co., of Chancerylane, in the usual way. Being then in
ill-health be was about to leave town for Scotland, and
he did leave on the night of the 30th. His common law
clerk was named Saunders. The prisoner was not at
the office on the day be left, and in consequence he gave
to Saundeis two cheques, both signed, but not, filled up,
ova which was crossed was for the payment of the call
for 300/., and the other, not crossed, was to be drawn
by the clerk for such amount as was necessary to pay
salaries and office expenses during his absence. He re-
turned to town on the 23th of Sept. While he was in
Scotland he received a letter from Saunders. When he
returned he looked into the office diaries to see what had
been done. The pri-oner, who had been in the country,
returned on the 30th, and be (prosecutor) called his at-
tention to the office book. The pi ironer did not say any-
Veing about the sum of 261. 15s. 63. as having been re-
ceived by him off the call of 3001., such sum having been
allowed by the master as interest due by the Brewery
Company to Mr. Bearschall. The first time ho heard
of such a deduction was on the 24',h of last March. An-
other call had been then made, and, in consequence of a
letter from Mr. Nicholson, he directed his then Chancery
clerk, Mr. Waring, to make inquiries, and the ultimate
consequence was, that the prisoner was (riven in custody
on the charge of embezzling that sum of 261. 15s. 6d.
After the examination of a number of witnesses the
jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner
guilty, but most strangly recomruending him to mercy
on the ground of the excellence of his character, as de-
posed to by the witnesses.

The As;istant•Judge said he should not pass sentence
until the next session, and he should give full considera•
tion to the case and the strong recommendation of the
jury.

The trial la3tel about 7 hours, and the court was
thronged with persons anxious to hear the result.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—May 3.

GUILDIIALL.-Mr. Stoller, a solicitor, of 52,
Cheapside, waited upon the alderman under the follow.
ing circumstances :—A cabman, who was present, took
a friend of his from the Eastern Counties Railway to
Newgate-street, and the gentleman kept him there for
about an hour, leaving his great coat in the cab. About
12 o'clock he left the house and beckoned the cabman to
follow him to Cheapside, but the cabman mistaking the
sign, remained where he was until five o'clock in the
evening. He then went into the house with the great
coat and made inquiry about his fare. when he ascer-
tained that the gentleman, after making his call in
Cheapside, had taken another cab and gone to the
LI; ighton Railway. Under these circunt,tances he wished
thu magistrate to say what the man was entitled to for
waiting. He (Ir. Stoller) thought the cabman to
blame fur waiting 5 hours without making any in-
quiry, and that, therefore, he was not entitled to the
lull amount for his time. The mistake was as much his
as his fare's, and he ought to bear a portion of the loss,
Sir H. Aing,geridge, lookin, at the circumstances that
the gentlemen had left his coat in the cab, and that he
had given no instructions, but only made a sign which
might be taken as meaning to follow or to wait, thought
the fault restad with him, and if he were in his place he
would pay the demand..

Mr. Stoffer said he would adopt his suggestion and
pay the fare, kiut he had only attended in justice to his
client.

The fare, lls., was paid.

BOW-STREET.—JoIcn Mould was first charged with
being drunk and disorderly ; and, secondly,. with setting
fire to one of the cells at Bow-htreet Police-station.
It appeared that, at a late hour on the previous night,
the prisoner was parading Brydges-street, followed by a
mob of prostitutes and disorderly characters, to whose
vast amusement he was shouting, gesticulating,
"speechifying," and beating a large piece of tin with a
stick. The constable on duty finding remonstrances
unavailing, was obliged to take him into custody.
Wright, the jailer at the station-house, informed his
worship that after the prisoner was locked up, she was
ast.:nished to observe smoke is-uing from the cell. He
went in and found the prisoner lighting a fusee under
the seat, from whieh'he was cuttieg wood to keen up
the fire. •A few minutes more ant conflagration. would
have broken out, whieh might have led to the destruc-
tion of the sta4iou. Witness asked what he was about,
and the prisoner replied that it was so very cold he
thou-sht he would light a fire and make things comfirt-
able. Witness extinguidied the fire and took away the
knife with which prisoner had cut trio bench.
The magistrate inquired why the knife was not taken
from the .prisoner before he was locked up !
Inspector Mitchell replied that, as was usual in such
cases, the prisoner was asked if he had a knife, and he
said hs had not.

The magistrate observed that if he bad been searched
there would have been no mistake.
Mr. Mitchell raid it was not usual to search prisoners
who were only charged with drunkenness. In fact,
the: e was an express regulation' against it.
A carpenter proved that it would cost Is. to repair
th - b inch.
Prisoner said he had no recollection of wliat occurred.
Ho was very sorry.
The magistrate obrerved that, for the misconduct in
the streets, prisoner was liable to a fine of 40s. How-
ever, as he appeared to be sorry for it, that would be
overt() led, but he must pay for the damage or go to
prison for eight days.
Prisoner (with !zreat politeness)—Then, sir, with your
kind perinis,ion I shall avail myself of the latter alter-
native, IT I have nut a shilling in the world. I'll take
the eight days.
He was removed in custody.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Harriet Graham,
wife of John Munroe Graham, an actor, was charged
with att-unpting to fire a loaded pistol at her husband.
Mr. Graham, Of No. 82, High street, Camden-town,
corned an. said, ablut 12 the previous night he was com-
ing from the stage entrance at the Princess's Theatre,
Oxford-street, having hold of a gentleman's arm, when
he saw his wife, who instantly presented a pistol at him,
and snapped it. The pistol was taken from her, and
found to be damp.
At the station-house the prisoner said she knew the
pistol would not go off, as she had tried it. The prisoner
admitted that the pistol had been recently cleaned.
Mr. Brazier saw the prisoner thrust a pistol towards
her hirsband, and he heard the lock click.
The prisoner said she had been Mr. Graham's wife for
12 years, but was separated from him. She took the
pistol out with her, but not intending to use it to deprive
her husband of life. She saw her husband in the street,
in the impulsa of the moment she pulled out the pistol,
and presented it at him, intending only to frighten him.
Fully comnitted.

SOUTHWARK,—George Foster was charged with
stealing a pair of gold spectacles from the person of
Susan Varins.

The prosecutrix, the wife of a tradesman, residing at,
No. 2, 13lackman•street, Borough, stated that on Thurs-
day evening she was looking at a shop window in the
New Kent-road. She had on a pair of gold spectacles,
when suddenly the prisoner came up to her and struck
her.rather roughly on the left shoulder, calling out,
" Halloa, how are you ?.' She turned round immediately,
when the prisoner snatched her spectacles off her face,
and ran off with them. She followed him, calling out
"Stop thief," and after a smart chase she saw him
stopped by n.ge,ntleman, and when she got up to him
she gave hiM into custody. He must either.have thrown
the spectacles away or passed them to an accomplice, as
they were not found upon him. She valued them at two
sovereigns.

Mr. Z'iont'oe said it was a most impudent robbery, and
there could be no doubt he must have passed the spectacles
to another party.
Committed to the Howe of Correction for six months
with hard iabour.

A good attendance, and what with the settling of the
Newmarket accounts, comparing bets on the Chester

dently nothing in his favour for the Derby ; 7 to 2 was
currently offered against him ; 6 to 1 would have been
taken about Cannobie, and 12 to 1 about Rlington.
