MARY-LA BONNE.

ElilltaLl34lol7.—Yesterday. Mr. Witham Harris, managing
clerk, in the firm of Messrs. Gorin and Price,
,solicitors of Or-
chard-street, Portman•square, was charged before 'Air. llawt.tx.
sox, with embezzlement. . _

Ii appeared that the prisoner had
.men entrusted with £9, to
settle an account of assessed taxes, in behalf of a client or his
employer, which mint be did not pay, but appropriated to his own
use. The prisoner admitted having received cask fur a cheque
given him to the amount stated ; but was advised not to persist in
that admission, as there were other charges against biol. It was
afterwards alleged that he had not paid certain fees,, for which he
had also received the money.
Prisoner (clasping his hands)—Commit me at once. I *emit
all the fees on the writings I never paid. ip.►-make short work of
it, I beseech you.
Mr. ILawantsou—Short work of it ! I really must say that ea-
pressioo is not proper for you at this moment.
Prisoner (hastily and agitated)—lt is my feeling, Sir. nothing
more. lam aware of my degradation, and want it terminated as
soon as possible.
Mr. Goths, •hewing his cause paper to the Magistrate, applied
for permission to be allowed to visit the prisoner in gaol, as he being
his managing man, he possessed information of importance to the
interests of his clients.
Mr. Ramat/sort said, it was rather unusual for a prosecutor to
visit a prisoner; hut if the interview was entirely confined to the
interests of Mr. Gor in's clients, he had no ohis-ction.
Prisoner—ls everything to be pressed against nit ?--lr that be the
case, Mr. Gorin's visits to me will produce no information.
Mr. Gorin said he had not pressed anything.
Prisoner—Yes, you have raked up all those other cases, and as
'punishment appears to be your obizet, I must beg time before I
answer any question.
The prisoner was remanded till Monday next. •

SURREY SESSIONS, JAN. 11.—The Court was o-en-
pied duting the whole of the day, and to an advanced
hour in the evening, in hearing appeals, but none of
them were of any particular interest.
DOCILITY OF THR House.—At the table of a Gen-
tleman in the vicinity of Sunning, Berk:, a few days
since, the conversation happening to turn on the
docility of the bi ute creation, the worthy host offered
a wager, which was instantly accepted, that his
,favoutite
hunter would, at his request, quit his quarters in the
stable, and follow him into the dining-room. Ile
forthwith went to the stable, disencumbered the ani-
mal of the head-stall which confined him to his post
at the manger, and returned to the company cl.:sely
attended by his quadruped friend Not contented with
this display, he proceeded to his bed-room, whither
also he was followed by the horse, whose docility was
the theme of every tongue, and the object of universal
admiration. Here, however, the proots of his obedient
disposition ended, for neither entreaty nor force could
prevail upon him to descend the stairs. and in the bed-
room he insisted upon passing the night. In the morn-
ing he manifested the same determination nit to retrace
his steps, and after all means of entreaty and intimida-
tion had been in vain resorted. to, his master was com-
pelled to have a breach made in the wall, through
which this docile steed was forced to leap upon the
ground, where a load of straw had bees spread to re•
ceive him. The descent was accomplished in safety.
but owing to the trouble and expense occasioned by the
visit, it is not expected that the horse will be invited
beyond the parlour in future.
