POLICE INTELLIGENCE--This Day.

MANSION-HOUSE,

STEALING A Box OF RAISINFL—CharIes Boyce, a labourer,
was charged before Mr. Alderman Finnis with having a
box of raisins in his possession unlawfully.
Samuel Hambrow said he was an officer employed at the
Fresh Wharf, and yesterday about 2 in the afternoon he
was called into one of the warehouses on the wharf to take
charge of a p^rson who was aeeused of attempting to steal
a box of raisins. Ho saw the prisoner and the box of
raisins, which the prisoner said he was told by somebody
to carry to Mr. Leask, the broker. He knew the prisoner
as being occasionally employed at the wharf, and he was
working there yesterday.
It was also proved in evidence that if the prisoner's
statement were true, the name of Mr. Leask would be
written on the side of the box and a book given him with
it, which was not the case.
The prisoner said that he was drunk, and denied that
ho had any felonious intention, and stated further, that if
he had not been interrupted he would have delivered the
box at Mr. Leask's.

A previous conviction for theft was proved against the
prisoner, and he was sentenced to two months' hard labour.
EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK.—Josoph Morris was charged
with embezzling divers sums of money, the property of his
employers, Messrs. Groucutt and Co., iron and coal dealers
at Bilston, Staffordshire.
Mr. Beard, solicitor, said he was instructed by the pro-
secutors to appear on their behalf in this case. The pri-
soner had been in the employment of the company for 12
years, and had been specially employed by Mr. Daniel
Groucutt for the last 15 years. He was charged with em-
bezzling different sums of money, amounting to £ll7, but
only ono case would be proceeded with to-day, so that he
must ask for a remand.
William Mice said that he was in the employ of Mr.
Thomas Porter, an iron dealer, carrying on business at
South Moulton, who was a customer of Mr. Groucutt, and
on the 15th July last he paid him a cheque for £37 19s. 6d.
The cheque produced was the one he gave prisoner, and it
was endorsed "Joseph Morris."
Mr. Daniel Groucutt said that the prisoner was em-
ployed amongst other duties in collecting money in London,
and he was instructed to pay all accounts he received into
a London bank to the credit of the company, whether in
cash or in cheques. He had an account with Mr. Potter
in Juno last, and he had not received either cheque or
money for that amount. The last time he
heard from the prisoner was on, the 26th July,
and he came to London on the 4th of August, when
he found he had absconded. He had received the

letter produced from the prisoner through his wife. (Here
the letter was read, and it contained an admission of the
prisoner's guilt, together with an expression of the greatest
pain and sorrow for having abused the kindness and con-
fidence with which ho had been invariably treated by the
witness while in his employ. lie attributed his offence to
a temporary hallucination produced by distress of mind
caused by pecuniary losses arising from spaculationa.) The
prisoner, who had £5 ss. a week, had done something two
years ago, which the witness had overlooked.
It further appeared that the prisoner was traced to a
lodging-house in the neighbourhood of Bedford-square,
where he was living under the name of Scott, and that ho
was apprehended iu the City yesterday. Oa being
told by the officer that ho had a warrant against him for
embezzlement, ho did not deny the charge, and admitted
that his name was Joseph Morris.
The prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, was re-
manded till Thursday next.
