I got over the railings and went into one of the collars,
and there found the prisoner pretending to be asleep. I

ant and collector of. debts, was charged before Mr. Bing-
ham with embezzling several sums of money received
for, and on account of, his employer, John Edmunds,
40, Smith-street, Stepney.
It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor,
who is a retired tradesman, employed the prisoner in
December last to collect several debts due to him, for
a well-dressed dlrtijsleMlfd
which he (defendant) was to receive a commission of 10
per cent, upon all moneys collected. The prisoner also
entered into an agreement to pay in all moneys as soon
as received. This he had neglected to do, and had failed
to account for the sum of 4/ 03 4d which he had received
from a Mr. Royston. There were numerous other sums
which he had neglected to account for, but at present
the witnesses were not in attendance.
Prosecutor's wife, Sarli. Edmunds, proved that she
made the agreement with the prisoner, and he then
engaged to render an account to her of all monies he
received.
The prisoner said it was his instention to render an
account of the cash he had received as soon as he had
an opportunity of discoveringwhat his solicitoesexpeuses
were.
Mr. Bingham remanded him for a week.
