POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Sept. 10.

MANSION-HOUSE.
William Waldon, a well-dressed young man, for-
merly in the service of the South Yorkshire Rail-
way and River Dun Coal Company, and who had
been apprehendel at Toronto by Spittle, the de-
tective officer, wag brought before Mr. Alderman
Hall, upon the charge of having embezzled the

moneys of his employers.
Mr. Humphreys appeared in support of the pro-
secution, and Mr. Wontuer attended on the par,

of the prisoner.
Mr. Humphreys said—Sir, in this case I have to
trouble you on the part of the South Yorkshire
Railway and River Dun Coal Company, whose
clerk the prisoner at the bar was, and the complaint
against him is that on divers occasions he received
money for and on account of his masters, the
company ; that it was his duty to have
paid that money into the banking-house of
Messrs. Currie and Co., the bankers of Mr.
Hanfield,:who filled a situatiou of trust in the com-
pany ; that between the 6th and the 18th May in
the present year, he received a variety of sums
anamounting altogether to 691. Os. 3d., which
monies he ought to have paid into the banking-
house of Messrs. Currie and Co. He did not do
so, but absconded from his employment, and upon
information of the fact being given here so long ago
as the 3d June last, the Lord Mayor was pleased
to grant a warrant for the prisoner's apprehension
for the felony I have mentioned. That warrant
was entrusted to a very diligent and respectable
officer of the City of London, of the name of Spittle,
who went with the Secretary of State's authority
to Canada, and there, I think at Toronto, he ap-
prehended the prisoner. He brought him to Lon-
don yesterday, and the prisoner is before you to-
day to answer the charge.
J. Spittle, tha detective officer, was then sworn,
and said—On the 3d of June last the warrant for
the prisoner's apprehension produced was granted
by the Lord Mayor, and placed in my bands for ex-
ecution. After instituting inquiries I proceeded
to Canada, and apprehended the prisoner on the 30th
July last at an hotel, called the Rosin House, at
Toronto, where he was passing under an assumed
name.
Mr. J. F. Nicholl—l.. am an accountant in the
Metropolitan Coal Department of the South York-
shire Railway and River Dun Company. On the
3d June last I came to the Mansion-house, and
made the depositions produced, upon which the
warrant for the prisoner's apprehension was granted.
The deposition was put in evidence. It was to
the effect that it was the duty of the prisoner, who
had been nearly two years in the employment of
the prosecutor in the capacity of junior clerk, to
pay the daily cash to the acount of Mr. J. C. Han-
field, the manager of the company, at Messrs. Cur-
ries' banking-house ; that various sums, amounting
to 691. Os. 3d., belonging to the company, had been
paid to the prisoner, and had not been accounted for
by him, and that the prisoner bad not been to the
prosecutor's office after the 19th May last. The de-
position concluded as follows:—On orabout the 15th
of May last, the said William Waldon, as I am in-
formed and believe, received the following cheques
to remit to Mr. G. Copley, at Great Grimsby, in
the county of Lincoln, which he neglected to do,
and instead thereof paid the same cheques to his
own account at Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, and Co.,
banker 4, viz., one of the Indemnity Assurance Co.
for 1211. 3s. lid., one of the Royal Assurance Co.
for 108/., one of the Marine Assurance Co. for 541.,
and one of the London Assurance Co. for 531.
17s. 4d."
The witness having formally stated that the de-
position he had made, and upon which the warrant
had been granted, was true,
Mr. Humphreys applied fora remand, which was
not objected to by Mr. Wontner.
The prisoner, on whose person the officer found
3601. when he was apprehended, was remanded.
Richard Knowles, clerk in the employment of
Messrs. Bateman and Co., metal brokers, Cannon-
street, was charged with embezzling the moneys of
his masters.
Mr. R. W. Filler, clerk to the prosecutors, said—
Oa the 16:h ult. I gave the prisoner the cheque
produced for 2001., drawn by Mr. Wm. S. Roden
upon the London Joint Stock Bank, and another
cheque for Si. 17s. 9d., to pay to the account of my
employers at Messrs. Haukey's. I prcduce the
" pay in" book in which the prisoner has entered
the two cheques to which I have refer rid under the
date of the 15th August.
Mr. B. Bateman, one of the prosecutors, said—l
have examined my pass books, and find no entry of
the payment of the sums alluded to on the 15th ult.,
but on the 19th there is an entry of 1051. 170. 9d.
as paid in. There is no corresponding entry in our
" pay in" hook. I have been making many inquiries,
and if the prisoner be remanded I have no doubt I
sir ill be able to prove that lie stole 1001. of the 2051.
17s. 93. I have also other charges to bring against
bins.
The prisoner, who put no questions to the wit-
nesse4, was then remanded.

that he was unable to attend. and they therefore
asked for an adjournment fur a fortnight. When
the prisoner was being brought up by the railway
Iby Sergeant Chonn, 6' E, he asked to be allowed to
put his head under one of the wheels.
The case was adjourned for a fortnight.
