CENIRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(?his Day.

OLD COURT.
TILE ALLEGED ADMIRALTY FRAUD.

Rumble, an engineer on half-pay, and James Gambier,
a clerk in the Admiralty, wore indicted with conspiracy to
defraud Mr. Maxwell, a timber merchant, of £3O; there
were other counts varying the indictment.
The facts of this case are doubtless familiar to our
readers from the full reports that appeared in The Sun dur-
ing the time the prisoners were under examination at Bow-
street Police Court before Sir Thomas Henry. It will be
recollected that it was there stated that the particulars of
a contract for a quantity of elm timber had been
published, and after that it became known to Rumble that
a person named Maxwell, a merchant residing in Lrna-
bard-street had sent in a tender for 300 tons. After that
Maxwell received a visit frcm Rumble, who stated that
he could ensure the acceptance of his contract upon his
giving a sum of money to the amount of £3O. Mr. Max-
well, after Rumble left went to the Admiralty, and
from certain inquiries he found that his ten-
der had been accepted, irrespective of Rumble,
but he (Maxwell) was directed to appear to fall
in with the proposal of Rumble. An appointment
was made by Mr. Maxwell with Rumble, and a detective
having been placed so that he could not see a visitor, on
the arrival of Rumble at Mr. Maxwell's room he (Rumble)
told the prosecutor he knew his contract had been accepted'
and that information he had received through a friend in the
Admiralty with whom he had to share the money for ob-
taining the acceptance of the contract. The prisoner
Rumble was afterwards seen in company with Gambier'
and from what then transpired both parties wore taken
into custody.

A great many witnesses were called, including Sir
Spencer Robinson, Comptroller of the Navy, Admiral
Dundas, Storekeeper-General, Mr. Buxton Financial
Secretary to the Admiralty, all of whom declared Rumble
was quite unknown to them, and that neither of
them had the slightest influence in inducing them to ac-
cept any contract. A great many Admiralty clerks wore
also examined, but the description of the routine of the
Admiralty contract depai trnent seemed quite to puzzle
the lawyers. It appeared that after a contract was ac-
cepted one clerk would then read it, one would have
to write the intimation of its acceptance, ono would then
have the copy of it, one would get it delivered to fold,
another one would put it into an envelope, another one
would have to fabten it, anoth 3r one would have to enter
it, and after the letter had gone through the whole of the
routine the messenger would have it delivered in time to
post, and then would commence a further correspondence
to carry the contract out. The chief point against the
prisoner, who hold an appointment in the Admiralty of
over .£5OO per annum, was that he had been seen in fami-
liar conversation with Rumble outside Somerset-house,
on frequent occasions, and that on his being taken into
custody, a diary was found upon him containing an entry,
"R from Mxl. £10."
The case is not expected to conclude to-day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-71iis Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
ROBBERY lIIROUG It ALLEGED POVERTY. —William Denis,
porter in the employ of Mr. T D. T. Sparrow, brush-
maker, of 89, Piccadilly, was charged before Mr. Knox
with stealing tv:o sovereigns, the moneys of his master.
The evidence showed that the prisoner, who has only
been in the employ of the prosecutor a few days, was en-
trusted with two sovereigns to pay at a newspaper office
for the insertion of an advertisement, but instead of doing
so he kept the money and absented himself, and subse-
quently wrote a letter to the prosecutor stating that he
was sorry for what he had done, but that poverty had led
him to steal the money, and on Alfred Brook, in c
taking him into custody, he said that if the constable went
1 to his lodgings he would find one of the sovereigns, which
he did.

In answer to Mr. Mao.; the constable said that ho had
ascertained that the prisoner had hitherto borne a good
character.

The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was committed for a

month.
