DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN BRAEMER DURING
THE LATE THUNDER STORM.—About five o'clock, A.M., on
the 23d ult., the northern district was visited by a tremendous
thunder storm, which had exploded with fearful violence in
Glen Cluny of Braemer, a deep narrow vale at the northern
base of the Grampian Mountains. A shepherd of that place
had risen early to look after some cattle grazing on a meadow
adjacent to his house, and the family soon became alarmed for
his absence during such a storm of thunder and rain. On
looking out they saw the cattle in great commotion grouped
on a neighbouring height. One of his sons ran towards the
place; by the way he observed the ground torn up to a great
extent, with the sward scattered around, and two of the ani-
mals lying dead. Turning to another direction, he was ap-
palled with horror to see his father stretched insensible, and
his faithful dog killed at his feet. flaying been carried home,
the old man began to evince signs of returning animation, and
in the course of several hours, by means of active treatment,
he gradually recovered consciousness and the faculty of speech,
but he still suffers severe pain of the joints. The scene of de-
vastation is a low marsh close by the margin of the Cluny
rivulet; the lightning had entered the ground at two parallel
spots a few yards asunder, and, running northward in a wav-
ing direction, had torn up deep furrows 50 yards in length,
sometimes diverging into numerous trenches, and again unit-
ing; it had glanced along a hard activity, beyond which the
man had been struck, apparently about the lower extremities ;
and from the situation in which he was found, it is likely that
the body of the dog had acted as a soft buttress, and broken
the intensity of the sbock.—Perthslu're Courier.

John Groves, stated to be a clerk in the employ of
Messrs. Masterman and Co., the bankers, was charged with
embezzlinT 9001. and upwards, the property of the firm.
Mr. Henry Oxley, one of the firm of Masterman and
Co., being sworn, stated that the prisoner had been in the
employ of the firm nearly twenty years ; that he was a
cashier at the counter ; that he had a sum of money en-
trusted to him, and he paid and received at the counter in
in the usual way. The book he (witness) produced was
the prisoner's money book, in which the prisoner kept an
account of cash received by him, exclusive of bank notes.
It was a debtor and creditor account of cash received and
paid, and the balance at the end showed how much was in
his hands. On Friday evening, August 28, there should
have been his hands, under his lock and key, 1,762/. Bs. 4d.
in cash. On Saturday, the 29th, he debited himself with
that sum to begin the day with, and on Saturday evening
he should have had the balance appearing in his hands,
which was then 1,057/. 7s. 3d. The telling-up book, which
witness produced, was made up from the prisoner's book,
and witness, upon counting out the money in the prisoner's
drawers, found that the deficiency amounted to 264/. 185.4 d.
Upon being called to account for the deficiency, the pri-
soner said that he could not think of telling a lie to the
witness, and that the deficiency was' about or near 900/. ;
that he was led into embarrassments by a customer of
the house, and that he would throw himself upon the wit-
ness's mercy. Witness upon searching the prisoner's
drawers, found loose in one of them 681. ss. I Id. ; in an-
other, in a bag, 216/. 16s. 9d. ; and in a third some silver
and half-pence, in all 345/. 3s. Bd. ; so that the actual de-
ficiency was 964/. 18s. 4d. Mr. Oxley observed that a
deficiency of 32/., independent of the sums specified in his
evidence, had not been required to be accounted for, as
cashiers were occasionally subjected to losses in the various,
transactions of the concern.

The prisoner having been remanded until yesterday, the
parties again attended the LORD MAYOR, who conferred
with Mr. Hobler, the chief clerk, in regard to the evi-
dence which had been given.
The LORD MAYOR asked 4.rf there was any further evi-
dence in the case, and stated that Mr. Hobler had doubts
as to the legal guilt of the prisoner on the charge of em-
bezzlement.

Mr. Bush then quoted passages from the 7th and Bth of
Geo. IV., cap. 29, for the purpose of showing that the
offence committed by the prisoner was to all intents and
purposes an act of embezzlement.
Mr. Haler, jun., could not agree with the view taken
by Mr. Bush. Here was no specific act of embezzlement.
It was not pretended that the prisoner had not accounted
for the various sums received of the customers. All that
was shown was that there was a deficiency in the balance,
and that fact did not amount to an embezzlement.
Mr. Bush said he had some further evidence to offer.

Mr. J. Masterman, jun., was present when Mr. Oxley
called the prisoner in. Mr. Oxley said that circumstances
of a suspicious nature had arisen which rendered it necessary
to have an examination of his accounts, although they
should be very glad to find there was no deficiency. The
prisoner said, " Then I throw myself upon your mercy.'"
Mr. Oxley then said, " Then it was not right ? " The pri-
soner said " No." Mr. Oxley said " How much ?" and
the prisoner said " About 900/." Mr. Oxley asked him
what had become of it ; and the prisoner said, as near as
could be, this—" That Mr. B— had led him into it."
Mr. Bush—l will now prove 140/. paid to the prisoner.
Mr. C. Robinson, of Upper-street, Islington, draper,
proved that he kept an account with Messrs. Masterman.
On Saturday, Aug. 29, he paid in the sum of 250/. 18s. 9d.,
some part of which was in gold, though he could not say
bow much. He took his pass-book with him, and found it
was written in, though he did not know by whom.
Mr. Oxley—This entry in the pass-book is in the pri-
soner's handwriting. _ _ _ _ • _

Cross-examinedby Mr. Hobler, jun.—J3e so good, Sir,
as to look at the prisoner's counter-book, and tell me
whether there is any entry in the prisoner's writing of Mr.
Robinson's account ? There is 140/. entered as being the
cash received of Mr. Robinson.

Mr. Hobler, jun.—What became of the bank-notes paid
in by Mr. Robinson ? They were handed to another clerk,
who entered them in another book.

Mr. Hobler, jun.—Have you seen that other clerk's
book, and are they entered ? I have. They are entered.
Mr. Hobler, jun.—Then the total paid in by Mr. Robin-
son is correctly passed through your book ? Yes.
Mr. Hobler, jun.—Then, my Lord Mayor, the case
stands exactly where it did. The prisoner has accounted
for the moneys received of Mr. Robinson. There has been
no concealment of Mr. Robinson's account in any way
whatever.

The Loan MAYOR certainly was of opinion that by
Peel's Act, quoted by the solicitor to the bankers, it ap-
peared that the prisoner had committed an act of embezzle-
ment as clear as could be committed. He should, how-
ever, remand the case.

The prisoner, who held his . handkerchief to his face
during the whole of the examination, seemed disposed to
address the Lord Mayor, but desisted upon the advice of
his solicitor.--Remanded till Wednesday.
