COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the Lord Chief Justice WILDE, Mr. Justice
PATTESON, Mr. Baron ALDERSON, Mr. Justice COLE-
RIDGE, and Mr. Baron PLATT.)
THE QUEEN v. WATTS.-JUDGMENT.

It will be recollected that the defendant in this case,
Walter Watts, who was the lessee of the Olympic
Theatre, was convicted at the Ccntral Criminal Court of
stealing a piece of paper, of the value of twopence, but
in reality a cheque for 1,300/., the property of the Globe
Insurance Company, in whose office he held a situation
as clerk.

An appeal was subsequently made to this Court to
quash the indictment on various grounds. The two
principal points urged in support of the appeal were,
first, that as the cheque, a piece of paper, was brought
from the bank. of Messrs. Glyn by a messenger and
placed in the hands of the defendant, he could not be
bound guilty of stealing that which had never entered
into the possession ‘f the coMpany, and, secondly, that
as he was a shareholder in the company, a conviction for
taking pro[erty iu which he had a joint interest could
not be maintained.

Chief Justice WILDE now delivered the judgment
c.f the Coutt, observing that their Lordships were of
opinion that ail tl.e counts in the indictment were sup-
ported by the evidence. The directors had the entire
management of the company's affairs, and the defendant
was to be considered 113 a servant in their employ. It
was his duty to receive and keep the cheques which were
entrusted to him by the company, and, therefore, as
soon as they were placed in his custody,
they must be taken as being in the posses.
sion of his masters. The case was precisely
similar to that of a butler who was entrusted by a silver.
smith with some plate for his master, and who, after keep-
ing it in his possession for some time, eventually ab-
stracted that plate, and subsequently disposed of it or
converted it to his own use. The °Court were also of
opinion that no difficulty arose on the question of joint
ownership, because, though the defendant was a share-
holder in the company, all the responsibilities of a ser-
vant attached to him in respect of any property placed in
his charge by his employers. On these grounds, there-
fore, the Court considered that the conviction ought to
be affirmed.
Conviction affirmed accordingly.
