UNION-HALL.—A case came on for bearing be-
tore the Magistrates yesterday, which, from the
number and respeetability.ol the auditors, appear-
ed to excite considerable interest W. TURNER,
,of the London-road, the celebrated blacking-
maker, charged GEORGE ALLEN, late a traveller
in his employ, with entheizling seVeral sums of
money which he had been authorized to receive
from
_some persons in the country who bad pur-
chased goods from Mr: TURNER.—Mr. NOLAN
conthictept the prosecution, and Mr. HARMER the
defence. A considerable degree of acrimony was
manifested 'on both sides, Mr. TURNER endea-
vouring to prove that the 'appropriation of the
money in question had taken -place with a felo-
nious intention, and Mr. thamEtt, on behalf of
his client,_contending,.that where sums had been
received, and not accounted for, the circumstance
arose from obliterations in the bookSUbd errors
in the accounts., and not from any dishonest mo-
tive. Mr. Hisamart proposed, that 'as the affair
was a mere matter of account, it should he refer-
red to arbitration for' settlement. To this propo--
sition Mr. TURNER refused his assent, under the
idea that an absolute traud had been committed.
The Magistrate, T. EvANcb;, Esq. said, that as
the case had been partly investigaled before J.
CHAMBERS, Esq. it was desirable that he should
also be present at the final examination, and lie
should therefore adjourn the, further proceedings
to a future day, when he•would attend- with his
brothe. Magistrate. Mr. UARMER pledged, him-
self for the appearance of his client at the time.
