EMBEZZL'EAIENT.

Daniel McKenzie was indicted for embezzling various
sums of money, the property of his employer.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was en-
gaged as collector to a coal merchant, and it was his duty
to pay over the moneys he received during the day to the
clerk before he left in the evening. Various sums were
clearly proved to have been paid to the prisoner, and never
by him paid over to his employer. Tho defalcations
amounted to about £4O.

The jury found the prisoner guilty.
From the inquiries of the Recorder, the clerk stated the
first sum of money paid to the prisoner and not handed over
was in March last, about a month after he had entered
prosecutor's service.

The learned judge sentenced the prisoner to three years'
penal servitude.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

BRTJTAL COSTERMONGER.—THE USE OP THE STAFF.
—William Lake, a costermonger, was charged before Mr.
Beadon as follows :

Sergeant Davis, E division, said that on Saturday night
the prisoner was standing at the corner of Great Titchfield-
street and assaulting every person that passed, using very
gross language. A constable, 41 E, coming up he (Sergeant
Davis) having been told by the inspector to remove him,
the prisoner struck 41 E, two or three times, saying " Take
that you -," and while they were taking him through
Percy-street, the prisoner cried out " Scroggins," evidently
with the view to a rescue.

Mr. Herring said the prisoner would pleld guilty, being
drunk at the time.

Mr. Beadon observing that the prisoner's head was ban-
daged, asked whether he had hurt himself.
Sergeant Davis said, the prisoner said the constable had
struck him with his staff, but he did not see the constable
do so. As there was blood on the prisoner's head the sur-
geon was sent for.
Lane, 41 E, said he was called by the inspector to take
the prisoner into custody, when the prisoner struck him
three times in the eye, blackening it. He got the prisoner
as far as Percy-street, and he then tried to get away and
was going to strike him when he took out his staff with the
intention of striking him on the shoulder, but he happen-
ing to "bob" up, got the blow on his head. The prisoner
had only been out a few months for stabbing a woman in
Fitzroy-market, and he had assaulted him (Lane) once
before.

Mr. Beadon said that but that he was well known for
violent assaults not only on the police but other persons, he
should have thought there had been a too free use of the
truncheon. It was a most unfortunate thing that a con-
stable who had been assaulted before should have been in
the case. The prisoner had received an uncommonly
severe blow on the head, but that he was not be punished
was out of the question. Taking that into consideration,
ho should only commit him for 14 days, otherwise he should
have sent him for trial.

SYSTEMATIC ROBBERY OF AN EMPLOYER.—Two lads,
named Samuel Baldry and W. Isaacson, the former in the
employ of Mr. Linney, tailor, of Regent-street, and the
latter in that of Mr. Thos. Anderson, military tailor, of St.
James's-street, were charged—the latter with stealing a
quantity of cotton stuff and silk, the property of Mr. Ande-
rson, and Baldry with receiving the same, well knowing it to
I be stolen.

Mr. Anderson said that for some time past he had missed
property, and from informatiou that reached Dim he tazccl
