CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT AND BREACH OF TIIUST.
—We regret to learn (-aye the Scotsman of yesterday,
the 24th) that Provoet Sewers, of Stirling, was yeater-
day apprehended and lodged in Stirling gaol on a charge
of embezzlement and breach of trust The charge in-
volves a sum of 8.0001, Mr. Sewers, who was agent for`
the Edinburgh and Glasgow Bank at Stirling, having
unfortunately overdrawn his own account with t')e bank
to that amount. The circumstance will excite much
regret and sympathy, Provost Sewers having, during a
business connection with the bank and otherwise of
some twenty years, secured the respect of a large circle
of friends and acquaintances, not only in his own, die-
' trict, but in Edinburgh and elsewhere
