James Callaghan, Robert Horlock, William Hor-
lock (his brother) and John Jeffery, late in the ser-
vice of the combined City and Iron Steam-boat
Companies, as cheque and money takers, were placed
at the bar, before Mr. Jardine, charged with con-
spiring to defraud their employers and embezzling
money to a large amount.
Mr. Cattarns, the solicitor to the company, attended
for the prosecution, and explained the nature cf the
alleged conspiracy and fraud. The men had been in
the habit, in concert with a fellow-servant named
Jackson (who had absconded), of privately handing
the tickets received at one pier back to the sta-
tion from which they were issued, and then giving
the same cheques to passengers, instead of tearing out
fresh tickets from the cheque-books. The money
arisiag from this fraudulent double sale of the
old tickets had been usually divided among the men,
and the company were wholly unable to conjecture
the amount of which they had been robbed, as the sys-
tem had been traced back two years and upwards. Sus-
picions were first directed against the prisoners by an
anonymous letter sent to the company, in a fit of
drunkenness, by one of the prisoners' wives, and ulti-
mately by the confession of one of the delinquents
(Callaghan) ; although upon the former intimation
an inquiry, which ended in the acquittal of the men,
was instituted, it was intended only to offer sufficient
evidence on the present occasion to secure the re-
mand of the'prisoners for furthar examination.
Mr. E award Mitchinson, of Chelsea, superinten-
dent of the steam boat company, stated, that CJII3-
gban was a cheque-taker at the Cadogan-pier, Chelsea;
Jeffery was a money-taker at the Hungerford-pier ;
and the two other prisoners assisted in both capa-
cities as occasion required. Henry Jackson, the
man who had absconded, was money-taker at the
London-pier, hut a box in his possession, containing
documents which implicated all the others as well as
himself, had been secured. On Wednesday last
Callaghan made a confession in the presence of wit-
ness and Mr. Cattarns, at the latter gentleman's
office, to the effect that he had taken back old tickets
to Jackson and Jeffery, by whom they were re-sold
to passengers, and the produce shared amongst them.
Mr. JARDINE remanded the prisoners for a week
for further evidence, refusing to admit either of them
to bail.
