" VIM ul
SIISPICIOUS."—Thoa9 Liland, g
a ron
ing Irishman, h-1 ook-
stances : was charged under the following circum-
Police-constable 39 B raid—At three o'clock this
morning his attention was called by another constable to
No. 17, Pelham-crescent. I went there, and on examin-
ing the railings, I found that there was a quantity of
mud on them, as if some one had recently climbed over.
I got over the railings and went into one of the cellars,
and there found the prisoner pretending to be asleep. I
asked him what he was doing there, and he made no
answer. I then told him to get up, which he did. I
searched the spot, but only found a bottle of rum and
some sweetmeats ; and on further search we found
another bottle of rum. Ile said he had been to see a
female servant, who lived there, a friend of his. I caused
the inmates to be aroused ; they came down and said
they knew nothing about him. I also asked the female/A
servant, particularly, twice whether she knew the
accused, and she positively denied all knowledge of him.
Some flower-pots had been removed from the kitchen
window and placed in the area.
The accused said that the servant was partial to him.
He was going back to Ireland, and went to see her and
to "trate" her before he went. He went at 11 o'clock
and rang the bell, and supposing that no one was up he
went and lay down in the cellar.
The servant, on being called, gave her evidence in a
very diPPant manner. She said that she had known
him, but had not seen him for nine months. Last time
shei saw him she told him she did not want to see him.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
EMBEZZLEMENT BY AN ACCOUNTANT.—Virns. Follett,
a well-dressed man, who described himself as an account-
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
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/ Os 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, Sarah Edmunds, proved that she
made the agreement with the pr::oner, 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 discovering what his solicitor's expenses
were.
Mr. Bingham remanded him for a week.

DZATII Or A PAUPER MISER.—On Tuesday informa-
tion reached the parochial authorities of St. Pancras,
through the coroner's officer, of the death of a female
named Elizabeth Leadbeter, who had died worth a cod
siderable sum of money, household effects, &c., after the
• deceased had been imposing for many years upon the
parish, and receiving weekly relief. Upon the deceased's
apartments, in Brill-crescent, Somerstown, beingsearched
an annuity for 151. was discovered amongst other papers,
and a
bad no less than than 170/. in the bank. The various

and these commenced during the
very week that she commenced receiving parochial aid.
She had lately been insisting upon the parish officer tak-
jug her into the workhouse, as she complained of her
great poverty. It was resolved that the parish solicitor
shoeld communicate with the coroner on the subject,
and endeavour to get the property banded over to the
Crown, as there are no relatives, to reimburse the parish
for the heavy loss that they had sustained by this impo-
sition. A. gentleman named Young died intestate in
the same parish a few days previously, leaving property
worth 1,20Qh er 1,4091. to go to the Crown.
