EMBEZZLEMENT OF £13,000 BY A STOCK-

BROKER,

At the justice room of the Mansion House on Tuesday
William McLachlan, 30, residing at No. 1, Rye-terrace,
Peckham Rye, was brought up before Alderman Sir
Robert Carden, charged with fraudulently converting to his
own use Maryland bonds and other securities to the value of
£lO,OOO, which ho bad received as broker for safe custody,
euoh aoouritica being the property of Sir John Douglas and
others. J _

It .ppeared that a. Zenticman,naMed Thomas Dunlop
Douglas, died in the month of January lasi, aurTirs
executors were Major-General Sir John Douslaq, Major-
General Douglas, and Thomas Douglas Cunninghamo Gra-
hame. The prisoner was employed by them to cell cer-
tain securities of the value of £140,000, as they
might direct. According to their directions ho
sold securities to the amount of £lOO,OOO,
but he only paid into the National Bank
of Scotland to the credit of the trustees £97,000.
The balance he appropriated to his own use, to repair some
losses he had sustained by speculation on the Stock Exchanc-e.
There was no charge, however, with reference to this sum.
In addition to that £3,000 he appropriated securities to
the amount of £9,075 which he deposited with a person
named Cook as collateral security for a specula-
tion on which ho had entered with Cock,
under the style of John Bruce and Co. Suspicions
having been created in the mind of the agent of the trust,
Mr. Thomas Wright, of Glasgow, he directed the prisoner
to refund the whole of the securities. Upon that the
prisoner admitted that they wore not in his posses-
sion and that ho bad only a sum of £1,500
which he thereupon paid to tho credit of the trustees. At
a meeting of these gentlemen on Saturday last, they
decided to institute these proceedings, and the prisoner
had accordingly been apprehended.
Evidence was given with reference to some of these
facts, and the prisoner, who until recently was a member
of the Stock Exchange, was then remanded in custody.
