A gentleman here stepped forward, and said he
had been defrauded out of a large quantity of or-
namental tiles by false pretences by the prisoner.
Inspector Garforth—Here is also another person,
who, through being defrauded by the prisoner, had
been compelled to become bankrupt.
Prisoner—Oh, that's nothing. I've had to be-
come bankrupt. _ _ _

Mr. Vaughan—l don't require further cases
against the prisoner Crews.l've heard
quite enough. I shall remand them all
for a week, by which time I hope
we shall have some evidence in the case of the steal-
ing the timber, and the falsely obtaining the orna-
mental tiles.

EMBEZZLEMENT THROUGH INTEMPERANCE,--
Oliver Morgan, a respectable-looking young man,
in the employ of Mr. Thomas Bateman, grocer, of
No. 3, Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, was
charged before Mr. Benson with embezzling seve-
ral sums of money received on account of his em-
ployer.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner
was employed by the prosecutor to call on publicans
and confectioners for orders for "foots" and tea,
and that he received several sums of money from the
customers, and failed to hand them over to the pro-
secutor.

Francis Bellestone, E Division, said that on
taking the prisoner into custody he did not deny
the charge, but said that he was very sorry, and
asked for mercy.

The prisoner said that he had, in the course of
his business, to call on several publicans, and he
had given way to drink, and had got madly intoxi-
cated. Ile had been in the prosecutor's employ on
a previous occasion.

Mr. Bateman said that was the case, and that the
prisoner was not at that time guilty of any act of
dishonesty.

Mr. Benson said he would remand the prisoner
for a week, and if he thought proper he could have
a solicitor in attendance on his behalf.

Mr. Bateman said that he wished to recommend
the prisoner to mercy. The prisoner belonged to
a respectable family, and he (Mr. Bateman) had
no doubt he had been led to do what he had done
through giving way to drink.

Mr. Benson said that the case was one of a class
a magistrate had no power to deal with, and the
recommendation must be made elsewhere. Vie
prisoner would be remanded.

- SHAMEFUL CRUELTY TO A HonsE.--Henry
Davis, carman, in the employ of a person named
Cox, a coke dealer, was charged by the Royal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
with the following cruelty to a horse.

From the evidence of Temperley, inspector of the
Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, it appeared that he saw the prisoner
driving a horse attached to a van laden with coke.
The horse was very lame, and on Temperley stop-
ping the horse he found it suffering from extensive
disease of the hocks, in a state of great debility,
nothing but skin and bone, and scarcely able to get
one leg before the other. The prisoner admitted to
the officer that his master knew of the condition of
the horse, as he had told him that he should be
stopped if he was seen out with it.
The prisoner was discharged, and the owner sum-
moned for sending out the horse in such a condi-
tion, and as ho consented to have the horse de-
stroyed he was merely mulcted in costs, on the
officer returning and stating that ho had seen the
poor animal destroyed.
