THAMES.

EMBEZZLEMENT.—JaMCS Woodley, a journeyman
baker, in the service of Mr. George Farquharson,
of No. 2, Stainsby-road, Poplar, was brought before
Mr. Paget charged with feloniously embezzling
various sums of money he had received for and on
account of his master.

The prisoner had been in the practice of deliver-
ing bread and flour to his master's customers and
receiving money for the same which he ought to
have accounted for to his mistress, and paid over
his receipts to her daily. Instead of doing so, he
appropriated about £3 to his own use. He was
arrested last night by Abbott, a police constable,
No. 322 K. On being made acquainted. with the
charge he said "It is not so much as £3, it is a little
over 305." Three charges of receiving Gs. 5d.,
2s. Id., and 3s. 6d., which he had not accounted
for, were gone into and proved. Mrs. Farquhar-
son said there were 10 or 12 other charges of a
similar nature against the prisoner. He made no
defence, and was committed for trial.
A RUNAWAY HUSBAND.—John Sampson Wicks,
boilermaker, aged 31, was brought up on a warrant
which charged him that he did run away and leave
Jemima, his wife, and his two children, namely,
Jemima, aged 3 years, and Mary Ann, aged 18
months, chargeable to the parish of All Saints,
Poplar. _ .

The charge was preferred by Mr. Speatley, the
relieving officer of the Poplar Union. The prisoner,
a dissipated fellow, abandoned his wife and children,
and entered into an illicit intercourse with a girl of,
bad character. He was afflicted with small-pox
while this adulterous intercourse existed. On his
recovery he applied to Mr. Speatley for relief, and
received an order to be admitted into the work-
house. He tore up the order and threw it at Mr.
Speatley. An inquiry was made, and it was ascer-
tained that be was wanted for the abandonment of
his wife and children. He was* sentenced to
for three months' hard labour in the House of Cor-
rection.
