POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-MOUSE.—Henry IVilliarn Hunt was
charged with embezzling various sums of money, amounting
to from between £.sof rand £6OO, the property of his em-
ployer, Mr. Noel Whiting, colonial broker, 14, Mincing-
lane.
Mr. HOdgkiniian (Hodgkinson and Friend) who appeared
for the prosecution, said the prisoner had been for some five
years in the service of Mr. Whiting' at a salary of £l5O.
The charge avainst hint was for embezzling sums amounting
to ab,mt and would consist of two classes of cases.
One of these would consist of instances in which the pri-
soner had received money for the prosecutor without
accounting for it to him, and the other of instances in
which he had been entrusted with sums of money to pay to
the Cu'tomhouse, but which he had;misappropriated. In
the latter the evidence of several clerks from the Customs
would be necessary, and as those clerks were never allowed
to appear as witnesses without being duly summoned, the
prisoner would have to be remanded.
T. H. Cubitt—l am clerk to the prosecutor, and it wag
my duty to collect moneys andland. them to-the rrisoner,
as coil-der, for him to account for to Mr. Whiting. On
the 99th May I received from Mr. Ledger, a customer, £4
10s., and gave it to the prisoner, in the counting-house, in
cash. On the 2Gth June I received £1 35.6 d. &ern Messrs.
Harrison and Crossfield, and paid it over to the prisoner on
the same day.
Mr. Noel Whiting—The prisoner was a clerk in my ser-
vice, and as such was authorised to receive money. He was
also in the habit of paying money on my
account, when
instructed to do so. When money was paid to him, it was
his dory to make an entry the same day in the cash-book.
I have examined the cash-book, and there is no entry in it
of the two sums of money mentioned by the last witness,
nor has he pot those sums to me. I have reason to believe
that his defalcations amount to a large sum, and I ask for a
remand to enable me to pro nice the necessary evidence.
Mr. Roscoe, solicitor, who appeared for the prisoner,
offered no opposition to a remand, but applied that the pri-
soner might be admitted to hail.
The application was refused.
Charles Davidson, lately a conductor in the employ of
the Metropolitan Saloon Omnibus Company, was brought
ly on remand, charged with having embezzled 24. 4d. by
means of a false return made by him of the number of pas-
sengers carried in a Fulham omnibus on Friday last.
The evidence being completed, the prisoner was com-
mitted for trial, the Lord Mayor refusing to take bail for
his appearance at the Central Criminal Court.
Received for the poor-bas, a gold signet ring.

burglarionsly breaking and entering the dwelling-house of
Mr. James Sherry, and stealing a large quantity of tea.
The proseeutur, a grocer at FA, Sloane-street, said that

tea, and canisters lying about empty. He missed a great
quantity of tea of different sorts, two coats, a pair of silver
scissors, and ether arcicles. There were no marks of vio-
lence, and hi? first impression was that some person must
have entered the shop and concealed himself on the previous
night; but the skylight at the back part of the shop was
cpev, a- d t' ere were footmarks under ii.
From other testimony, it appeared that the police, from
