POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION HO USE.
A man of respectable appearance, named John Budgell, was
brought before the Lord Mayor charged with having embezzled
several sums of money, the property of Mr. Whit by, his employer.
Mr. Chapman, the solicitor for the prosecution, stated that
the ease was made remarkable by the ingratitude of the pri-
soner to his greatest bruefact.r.
Mr. Whitby, skin merchant, of Tower Royal, stated, evi-
dently in affliction, that he had treated the prisoner, who had
been twenty-five years in his service, with the-greatest possible
kindness. During that period extreme confidence had been
reposed in the prisoner, with whom the customers of the
house always acted as if they were dealing directly with
the prosecutor himself. Within the last fortnight the
prisoner's conduct became very irregular, and suspicion
having been entertained that his accounts might be also
exceptionable, his desk was opened, and it was soon
ascertained that he had received one sum of 111. 125.5
for which he had not accounted to the house. Wtt..
news went to him, and asked him about the parti-
. cuter account, when he admitted that •he had mute use of
the money, and stated that he had lent it to a person who was
in distress, and would replace it the same evening. The money,
however, was not forthcoming, and it soon appeared that he
had received other sums, which he had likewise appropriated
to his own use, although be declared that there was no other
deficiency in his accounts.

Mr. Draper, of High Holborn, said that he dealt with Mr.
Whitby's house for skins, and usually transacted business with
the prisoner, in whom it was mutest the utmost confident
was placed. Witness produced the receipt of the prisoner For
111.45. 4d., the price of some skins, which the house of Mr.
Whitby bad supplied.
Mr. Whitby stated that the prisoner had not paid over the
amount to him, and that there were several ether cases against
the prisoner.
The Lotto MA VOR expressed • touch regret at being obliged
to say that the instances of tigrant abuse of trust were daily
increasing, and that to cheek so great an evil which could be
perpetrated to a more serious extent in a commercial city than
elsewhere, and the consequences of which had been often
ruinous to honest and industrious employers, it would be ab.,
solutely necessary to let no case pass without prosecution.
The prisoner was remanded till Wednesday next.
The Loup Mayon had scarcely concluded his obrervations
upon the preceding case when Daniel Forrester, the officer.
brought up in custody a clerk in one of gra City Banking
houses, the charge of having ini4appropriated 1101., the
p
Mr. Bush.., the Solicitor to the Committee of Bankers for
rooupseersiv urfn his employers.
Protection from Forgeries and Frauds, appeared for the pro-
secution, but the prisoner having remonstrated against entering
into details, as he had been but a short time charged with the
offence, and was consequently taken by surprise, the case was
most readily postponed upon the part of the banking house,
and the prisoner was requested to name a day himself for
going into the investigation.
The case was then postponed till Tuesday next.
