THAMES.

I'M ZZLEMENT. —Thomas Hatch, a boy about 15 pars
of age, was bnught before Mr. Selfe charged with embez-
zling various sums of money, amounting in the aggregate
to £5 5s ld., which he had received for and on a2count of
his employer.

Mr. Frederick Butler, baker, of No. 18, Mile-end-road,
said the prisoner had been in his service about eight or ten
weeks, and his duty was to carry out bread, receive the
money for it of the customers, and account for the same
daily. He had recently discovered that the prisoner bad
debited many customers with bread who had paid him re-
gularly. (The witness handed in a list of customers from
whom the prisoner had received money which he had ap-
propriated to his own use. lie was afraid there were
other cases which had not yet been discovered. He asked
for a remand to enable him to bring forward the people who
had paid the prisoner money.
Mr. Selfe—Are any of them here ?
Mr. Butter—l have two of them here.
Mrs. Plumb, of Park-street, Mile-End, said she had paid
Bs. 6d. to the prisoner.
Mr. Solfe—Do you keep an account ?

Mrs. Plumb—No, sir. I never kept any account. I
sometimes paid the prisoner daily, and sometimes weekly,
as it suited me.

Mr. Selfe---Yom ought to keep accounts. People who
are worth a "plumb" generally keep accounts.
Mrs. Fanny Maiden, cf Park-street, said that she had
paid the prisoner ss. 6d. for bread.

Mr. Butter said he had never received the two sums
mentioned.

Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner.
A DRUNKEN CAB3iA.N. A strange-looking fellow,
named 'Wingfield, a cab-driver, wearing the badge No.
1,398, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with being
drunk and unable to take care of his horse and cab.
Cockerell, a police-constable, No. 266 K, said he saw the
prisoner driving his cab very awkwardly at 1 o'clock this
morning, and he went ". bang" against the toll-house in
the Commercial-road, and was thrown off his seat, ant
fell heavily on the ground. The prisoner was the worse
for liquor.

The prisoner said it rained heavily last night, and he
took two or three glasses of liquor, and he fell asleep on his
cab.

Mr, Selfe Cabmen havo no right to be asleepl—they
should always be wide awake.

The prisoner said he had received a severe shaking, and
his waster having given him a good character, he was al-
lowel to go at large without payment of a fine.

MISS MARTINEAU ON THE WANTS OF BOYS.—
A boy goes to a public school, or to a large private one, such
as exists :n every sect of dissenters, as well as in many dis-
tricts, lying out of the way of our great public schools. He
carries with him the wants every boy has at his age. He
wants food in the first place-•---food fit for, and pleasant to, a
growing boy. He wants plenty of sleep, airy, quiet, and
decent. He wants regular daily opportunity for cleanli-
ness ; for the neglect of the skin is invariably avenged
upon the internal organs of the body. He wants due
warmth in winter, much more than hewill need it ten years
hence. He wants frequent change of posture and employ-
ment; steady, moderate lessons, alternating with vigorous
play. He wants to have every muscle put to use in active
sports, and every faculty put to use in study and in daily
life. how does he get these wants supplied at school ?
Once a Week. _ _

A NARROW ESCAPE.—In the beginning of the
week, says the Alloa Journal, while a cow, the property of
'Mr. James Young, cattle-dealer, was being shipped for
Leith, one of the ropes broke, and the animal and a party
in charge of it were precipitated over the pier int., the water.
The individual cried loudly to " save him, for he was
drownin', and no mind the coo." We are very glad to
be ably to state that both the party and the cow were after-
wards safely landed.
