ROBBERY BY A PROSTITUTE

A woman of the town, named Ellen Holien, was committed
to trial for robbing a person named Robert Gale, a packer,
in Rook-street, Manchester, of two sovereigns and some sil-
van The complainant, at two o'clock this morning, on his
way from Ward's public-house to the Brunswick Hotel, was
accosted by the female, with whom he had some conversation,
during which time she picked his pocket.

SATURDAY.
ALLEGED DESTITUTION

Five boys were placed at the bar, who had been taken into
custody by Inspector Peacock for sleeping in the brick-fields.
The Inspector stated, that on the preceding, night he found
two of the boys in the brick-fields, and, in reply to his ques-
tions, they informed him that they slept with some other
boys in a hut in a field, and that at early hours in the morn-
ing they were sent by their companions to rob gardens. He
went to the hut and found the other three prisoners. These
boys were in the habit of making a fire in the hut at night
and sleeping there. Mr. Rushton said, the Inspector had
no right to take the lads to Bridewell. They were destitute,
and Bridewell was no place for destitute personS. The pri-
soners were discharged.

FURIOUS DRIVING

The owners of two spring-carts appeared to answer a
charge preferred against them by Inspector Poole. it ap-
peared that, on Friday, the defendants were driving their
carts, laden with passengers, along Scotland-road, from the
races. 'One of them attempted to pass the other, upon which
a race ensued, each flogging his horse with great violence, and
urging the animals to a speed that put the lives of many per-
sons in great jeopardy. With some difficulty, Mr. Poole,
assisted by the officers under his command, managed to stop
them. One of the men immediately ran off, and did not re-
appear till his cart was taken to the pinfold. The defen-
dants both alleged, in excuse, that their horses, affrighted by
the shouts of the populace, had set off of their own accord.
They were each fined 55., and costs.

EMBEZZLEMENT OF FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS

James Leatham, a man of very respectable appearance,
was charged by Messrs. Lovett and Taylor, soap-makers,
of Naylor-street, with embezzling several sums of money,
amounting, in the aggregate'' to £5OO, or thereabouts. Mr.
Henry Lovett, of the firm of Lovett and Taylor, briefly stated
the case. The prisoner was employed by them in the capa-
city of a traveller fur the last five years, during which they
had recently discovered he had been in the habit of em-
bezzling considerable sums of money he received on their
account. The present was one, and only one, of the cases
in which he had acted a dishonest part. The complainant
added, that the prisoner was authorized to receive whatever
money was owing to the firm, and that he was paid a yearly
salary. Mr. Parkinson, of the firm of Messrs. C. and J.
Parkinson, of Blackburn, deposed, that he paid the prisoner
the sum of £39. 18s. on the 4th of last July. Mr. Lovett
here exhibited a written statement of the moneys prisoner
accounted for, in which the last mentioned sum was omitted.
Mr. Rushton inquired when he was in the habit of making
up 'his accounts. Mr. Lovett replied, that he generally took
a three-months' journey, and then made a return of the sums
he received. Mr. Rushton inquired at.what time he returned
from the journey he made to Blackburn. Mr. Lovett said,
about the 28th or 29th of July. He had since made another
journey, and when he returned he made no mention of the
£39. 18s. received from the Messrs. Parkinson. Mr. Rush-
ton asked how the complainant knew that the present was
not merely an error in the account. Mr. Lovett said, that it
waa because there were twenty-five other different accounts
of the like kind for which he failed to account amounting
altogether, as he said before, to about £5OO. Constable
Lloyd deposed, that when he arrested the prisoner, the latter
asked the nature of the charge against him. The officer re-
plied, for embezzling between £5OO. and £6OO. from the
house of Lovett and Taylor, when he admitted the truth of
the accusation, and said he was prepared to give security for
the money at Mr. Tabbett's, 4, India-buildings, on the fol-
lowing day. Mr. Parkinson was here cross-axamined by Mr.
Davenport, on the part of the prisoner, when the only facts
elicited were, that he received an acknowledgment from the
prisoner at Blackburn for £4O. Bs., though he had only paid
him £39. 18s.; that he paid money to him before, a long time
ago; and that he believed the prisoner was, for a consider-
able period, in the employment of Lovett and Taylor. Mr.
Davenport prayed the magistrate to afford the prisoner a
little time to get up his case, because he was so much excited
at the present moment that it was impossible to take any in-
structions from him. Mr. Rushton was inclined to grant a
postponement of the case under the circumstances stated,
and asked when the agent could be prepared. Mr. Daven-
port replied, the following morning. Mr. Lovett said, that
most of his witnesses reside in Birmingham and that neigh,
bourhood, and that it would be impossible for him to have
them in attendance at so short a notice. After some further
remarks on this point, it was finally determined, that the case
should come before the Court on Monday ; that the prisoner
in the• mean time should be remanded ; and that Mr. Daven-
port should have access to him.

YESTERDAY.
ROBBING A STABLE.
Two men, named Robert Hughes and John Hughes, were
charged with having stolen a quantity of horse gearing from
the stable of a man named Meacock, near Brunswick Dock,
on the morning of Thursiay, the 27th instant. Police-offi-
cer No. 449 saw one of the prisoners in the neighbourhood
of the stable on the morning of the robbery, but, before he
was aware it had been committed, on Saturday he met with
him again, and at the same time it was ascertained that the
other prisoner had sold the property to a dealer in such ar-
ticles for 2s. 6d. Mr. Rushton censured the conduct of the
buyer for purchasing the articles without enquiry. Both the
prisoners were committed for trial.

Charles Rock lington was committed to the borough jail for
one month, for breaking open a seaman's chest, with intent
to rob it.

TDEEASE OF ALLEGED EMBEZLEMENT

James Leathom, whose case is briefly noticed in our police
reports of Friday, was again placed at the bar. Mr. Pritt,
of the firm of Messrs. Avison and Pritt, appeared on behalf
of Messrs. Lovatt and Taylor, and the prisoner was defended
by Mr,llevenport,

-IMr. Pritt stated he had two additional cases to bring against
the prisoner. One was a case in which he had been paid money
by Mr. James Whylock, a tea dealer and grocer iu Birming-
ham. In July last he received a sum from Mr. Whylock
which he had not accounted for, but he had accounted for
money received from him subsequently.
Mr. Rushton said one great difficulty in the case was the
fact that there had been an omission by the prosecutors to ac-
count.
__

Mr. Pritt mentioned that there were three cases in which
the prisoner had received money and not accounted for it.
This,-lie considered, was sufficient to rebut any inference from
the fact of omission.

Mr. Rushton.-1 suppose you mean to give evidence in ad-
dition to that you offered on Friday?
Mr. Pritt replied in the affirmative. He had received
money in July which he had not accounted for.
Mr. Rushton desired the case to proceed.
Mr. Davenport thought it right to mention that the case
had been in negotiation for the last month, with a view to
settle it.

Mr. Rushton.—What do you mean by negociation ?
Mr. Davenport.—A negociation for an arrangement where-
by the prisoner might give security for the amount.
Mr. Rushton.—lf you have done anything of that kind,
you have made a debt of it.
Mr. Pritt said he had been careful not to make any elec-
tion under the statute.
Mr. Rushton.—All criminal courts regard with peculiar
jealousy the following up of any arrangement of that kind in
a charge of felony.
Mr. Pritt was aware of that, but he believed none of the
nature described had been entered into.
Mr. Davenport said the evidence of Mr. Taylor, one of the
prosecutors, would be very important to the prisoner, and
unless he were ►resent it would be impossible to go on.
Mr. Pritt said Mr. Taylor was in court, and would be
called.

Mr. Richard Taylor was then sworn. tic said he was in
partnership with Mr. Lovatt, and the prisoner was in their
employment as a traveller. Ile did not recollect when he first
discovered that the prisoner had not accounted for all the
sums he had received from their customers, but it was some.
time iu August when witness was from home.

Mr. Rushton

—Did you speak to Mr. Lovatt on the sub-

Mr. Taylor replied that when he returned home Mr. Lo-
vett told him of the prisoner's defalcations. Afterwards the
witness received a letter from a customer of the firm, stating

neAs, in consequence, proceeded to Birmingham after the
prisoner, who was then on his journey, and he admitted ha-
ving received about £l3O for which he had not accounted.
The prisoner wished to proceed on his journey, but witness
refused to allow him, and they returned to Liverpool. '1 he
account vas gone over with Mr. Lovatt, and the prisoner
then admitted having received £7O upon the whole for which
he had not accounted. Witness the same evening wrote
letters to all the customers of the firm in the country, desir-

inz them to state whetht,r their respective accounts were cor-
rect or Rot. In the course of a v.—ek replies were received
from nearly alt of them, and in twenty-one instances they

were found to be wron

replied that it would be about the first week
When it was ascertained, witness told the
prisoner to meet him at Mr. Pritt's office. He did so; witness
then told him the deficiency, and be replied it was only about
£230 or £3OO. The prisoner called on witness the next day
to go over the accounts, and after that had been done, he
acknowledged the deficiency to be about £5OO.
Rushton.—Did you ever, in your communications
with him, undertake to settle the matter by way of security
for the re payment of the money ?—I never pledged myself
to
,anything at all, one way or another
Did you make any offer to hill

You never did ?—I never proposed it.
Did you accapt the ofler which he made ?—No, we did not.
Then why did you delay charging him here ?—Mr. Lovatt
was from home, and I did not know what his feelings were
upon the subject. Mr. Lovatt went away under the impres-
sion that the deficiency was not more than £7O, and when he
returned we gave the prisoner into custody
Mr. I'ritt

—Mr. Leathom made proposals at my office to
give security for the amount of the deficiency, and I was very
careful not to make any selection.

Cross-examined by Mr. Davenport.—l think it was on the
Ist of September, after I had returned from Birmingham,
that I met the prisoner at Messrs. Avison and l'ritt's office.
I went over the account with him. Whenever there were
any arrears of account before, we invariably placed them to
his debit.

Mr. Rushton.—Did you permit him to overdraw his ac-
count P—lie has overdrawn it.

Was this I'soo which you now charge him with embezzling
an overdrawn account I—Certainly nut ; he has now an over-
drawn account to the amount of £lO or £5O, but that has
nothing to do with this case.

Was-that money which le had received from your eu4-
tomers ?--Yes : it was the balance of his account of that

Mr. Davenport.—When you were at Messrs. Avison and
Pritt's office, Aid you not propose to ensure the prisoner's
life ?—He proposed to insure his life.
Did you not accede to that proposal ?—At the time we were
in the office, I considered if he had given us the money, or
shewn us clearly that we coald get it, I might have acceded
to the proposal ; but I did not, as Mr. Lovatt was away.
Was not a proposal made that he should insure his life
the Scottish Union Fire and Life Insurance Office.—lle pro-
posed to insure his life for £5OO, and to give security for the
payment of £BO a-year, the premium ; but as we were not
satisfied with the security he offered, we did not accede to
the proposal at all.
Do you know Mr. Tweedle ?—I do.
Has he not seen you upon the matter of the insurance
Yes.

Do you not know, in consequence of what took place at Mr.
Pritt's office, that a policy was effected upon the prisoner's
life in that office ?—it was not in consequence of Mr. Tw•eedle
calling upon us.

Mr: Rushton.—Will you be so good, Mr. Taylor, as to
answer the question which is this--Do you or do you not
know that a policy of insurance for £5OO was opened in the
Scottish Union Office on the prisoner's life for your benefit?
—Yes, I know that.

And was that with your sanction and approbation
not object to it.
Did you desire it to be done ?

'—l did

—lt was left to himself to be

Did you desire it to be done ?—The prisoner merely said
he had been told it would be the best way for him to do, and
give security for the payment of so much a year till the defi-
ciency was liquidated, but we were not satisfied with the

security.
Mr. Davenport.—Did you ever meet Mr. Tweedle in the
street ?—I do not recollect : Mr. Tweedle called upon me, not
in the street, and said Mr. Leathom wished him to call upon►
me respecting the insurance, but I told him we would not
pledge ourselves to anything.
How lung was that after the meeting at Mr. Pritt's office?
—I do not recollect; I think it was only a few days.
Did Dr. Macrorie call upon you ?—I did not see him.
Did you make any use of a document brought to you by
Dr. Macrorie about the prisoner's life ?-one was brought to

everything has been done to effect it.
Mr. Rushton.—There certainly

siderable negociations upon this matter; but I understand
Mr. Taylor to state that he never consented to the proposed
arrangement. I understand you [to the witness] to say t 0
me now, that you never did consent to an arrangement to

as a matter of debt 1—

Mr. Rushton.—Then I shall be glad if you will put it W
him in a plainer form. I have put it us plainly as I can.
Mr. Pritt—[to the witness].—Did you assent to take soul°
definite security for the debt?
Mr. Rushton.—flat was not my question, Mr. Pritt. Thje
question is not definite security, but any security. It is n°.
doubt an embarrassing situation for any gentleman to 19'
placed in, but I am sure Mr. Taylor will answer the question.
Mr. Pritt.—Have you ever said, Mr. Taylor, that you
would take the security offered.
Mr. Rushton.—No, no, that will not do ; did you consent
to take any security to treat the defalcation as a debt ?--V°
should have taken security if good security had been offered'
Mr. Davenport.—And you have been acting under that
impression from the time you discovered the prisoner to be

Mr. Rushton.Did you negociate for three weeks or a

You have answered the question first in the affirmative:

Mr. Davenport.—Do you know that a gentleman was

And he said he would get another ?—He said he would 01
to get another.
And the thing has been hanging on in this way ever since?
For the last ten days nothing more has been. done.

treat this as a matter of debt, and that failing securit?4',

not like to do anything till Mr. Lovatt came home.
Mr. Pritt having said be could throw some light on the
case, was then sworn. Ile said that Mr. L. fel o.n sad 31r"
Taylor called at his office and the accounts were itose
through, when there appeared to be a considerable differeno
as to the amount of defalcation. After Mr. Leathom nes
zone Witness advised with Mr. Taylor. Mr. Lovatt, he be'
lieved, was then from home. Witness advised Mr. Tayll
that the best course to take nould be to keep the prisoner 0
and on : he proposed to insure his life, and mentioned $
gentleman's name as a security. It appeared that the
gentle-
,
man had employed the prisoner as an agent, to the neglect °I
Messrs. Lovatt arid Taylor's business ; and as within%
satisfactory could be done, it. was determined that the charge
should assume the nature of felony. No assent to treat it as
a debt was ever given before witness.
Mr. Davenport observed that the receipt of the documents
from Dr. Macrorie was unknown to Mr. Pritt.
Mr. Pritt believed that Mr. Taylor had never assented t 0
it, but had given it back without observation.
Mr. Rushton said, this was a case which required consider,'
Lion on his part. A grievous wrong had been done, a breach
of trust of great magnitude had been committed, the evil of
which was enormous in a large commercial community liset
this. It was his duty to take care that the prisoner was no
sent for trial without proper precaution ; he should therefore
take time to consider the case.
Mr. Davenport requested permission to cross-exam:os
Mr. Taylor further, when the case again came before tbs
court.
Mr. Rushton thought the cross-examination had been
concluded. It was upon the evidence now before him that
he should take time to consider.
Mr. Davenport then cross-examined Mr. Taylor at con'
siderable length.
Mr. Rushton said it all resolved into the question whether,
any arrangement was proposed by the prisoner and sanctioned'
by the prosecutors, to give security for and treat the defa'
cation as a matter of debt.
Mr. Taylor.—The prisoner was making arrangements. •
Mr. Rushton.—Was that with your sanction and apPrc"
bation ?

Mr. Taylor.—Of course it was.
Mr. Rushton.—Do you swear that ?
Mr. Taylor.---It was with our sanction I believe.
Mr. Pritt said this was quite consistent with the advice
had given. Mr. Lovatt was from home at the time, and
witness advised that it-would be better to keep the matter oP
and on till his return.
Mr. Rushton.—When did Mr. Lovatt return?
Mr. Taylor.—Last Saturday week.
Mr. Rushton. —When did Mr. Lovatt know about the de'
falcation ?
Mr. Pritt replied, that when Mr. Lovatt went away 118
thought the defalcation was only £7O.
Mr. Rushton having ascertained that Mr. Davenport bad
no further questions to ask upon the point he had raised, 311'
journed the case till three o'clock.
At three o'clock Mr. Rushton proceeded to deliver his de"
cision. Before he commenced,
Mr. Pritt said Mr. Taylor wished to give some explor
tion of his evidence, if the court bad no objection.
Mr. Taylor then said, that when he was asked whether he
ever negociated with the prisoner, he did not properly ur"
derstand the question. He never had negociated with hie):
He thought the question applied to merely talking over the
matter with him ; but he had never made or accepted 03'
proposition to make the defalcation into a debt.
Mr. Davenport said he had known several cases when 141.2
Hall presided in this court, in which he would not allow 7
criminal charge to be brought against a party after negociation°
for a settlement.
Mr. Rushton said that, as a general principle, he concur.'
red in it, but in this case there seemed to be nothing so d"
rect and positive on the nature of the negociations, as to PT
tify him in foregoing the commitment. There seemed .°
have been many communications with the accused, and a Pi
position to take the money,. if a satisfactory arrangement,
could be made, but those communications did not assume,
positive aspect that there should be no further proccedingP.
He did not think that the negociations had assumed a fet;
titre to bring them within the general principle described
Mr. Davenport, upon which he had himself acted. 1-J"uer
these circumstances, he felt it his duty to go into the evidcnec
Mr. James Whylock, tea dealer and grocer, of Birmingb3lni
proved that in July last he paid the prisoner, on account
Messrs. Lovatt and Taylor, two sums of £37 12s. 6d., aoud
£32 10s. 7d.
Mr. Staines, of the firm of Walker and Staines, wholesa!

Mr. Parkinson, grocer, of Blackburn, proved that in July
last he paid the prisoner £39 18s., on account of his employers.
Mr. Lovett proved that none of these sums had been ac-
counted for.

Mr. Davenport cross-examined Mr. Lovatt with regard to
his knowledge of negociations to convert the defalcations into
a debt, but the witness positively stated, that he was not
aware of any such proceeding.
Mr. Rushton then said it was extremely dangerous, if not
highly objectionable, to attempt to enter into securities or
compromises in matters of this kind ; and it this had gone a
little further, he should have felt no hesitation in taking the
responsibility of discharging the prisoner. But lie would not
do that, because, in a community like this, this was a very
grate offence, and one with which magistrates ouzlit to deal
with the greatest elution. He should commit the prisoner
upon the evidence before him ; but, under the circumstances,
lie
should feel it his duty to take bail for the appearance of
the prisoner at the sessions.
The prisoner was then committed for trial.

STABBING.
Thomas Usher, a lad about twelve years old, was fined £5
for stabbing two other lads in the face, on Sunday night.

CAUTION TO 'SHOPKEEERS..
Fanny Kelly, an elderly woman,' was brought up on a
charge of havinn, stolen a niece of merino, the property of
Messrs. E. and A Lewis, drapers, of Ranelagh-street. The
merino in question was placed on the top of a pile of others,
►►►side the shop door, and the prisoner went to look at them.
Hurley, a messenger at the Town-hall, was in the street at
the time, .and he saw the prisoner take down one piece and
Put it into her gown, which was wrapped round her waist so
as to form a sort of pocket ; he followed her into Church-
street and apprehended her, when he t<►und the property in
her possession. Five shillings in silver were also found upon
her. Hurley was in the act of taking her back to the shop
when he met Mr. Lewis, who had come in search of her,
having in the meantime discovered the robbery. The priso-
ner strongly denied the charge. She was committed for trial
at the nest sessions.

• KIRKDALE FLORICULTURAL SOCIETY
DAHLIA Stiow.
. .

The Dahlia Show of this Society took place yesterday, at
the house of Mr. New, Derby Arms, Kirkdale. A spacious
marquee was erected in the garden of the hotel, in which the
flowers, fruit, &c., were exhibited. At the top of the room,
on a stage, were displayed the royal initials, surmounted by

life in
e pro-
'or the

egal crown. The effect was extremely good, the
Whole being composed of dahlias, flowers, Sc. The pillars of
the tent were profusely decorated with evergreens and flow-
ers, as well as other parts of the building. A great deal of
company visited the show, considering the threatening
state of the weather. Many ladies graced the meeting
with their presence. We never saw a finer.display of fruit or
vegetables, either for size or excellence of quality. Taking
the exhibition altogether, it was one of the very best, per-
haps, that has taken place this year. On the stage were
some beautiful flowers, contributed by Messrs. Skirving and
other gentlemen in the neighbourhood, consisting of seve-
ral varieties of fuchsias, camellias japonicas, &c. There
were two orange trees, one of which being in bloom, shed
around a most exquisite perfume. We saw several single
ladies eying " the orange blossoms" with smiling looks.
Anumu'st the vegetables we observed a fine specimen of the
silver beet, or earde poiree. This root is, we understand,
all excellent substitute for the sea kale. The flavour is ex-
cellent. The root was exhibited by Messrs. Whalley. We
noticed also seine fine Guernsey lilies. The apples were re-
markably fine. The dahlias we never saw equalled. This
beautiful flower, although comparatively so lately introduced
into this country, has taken strong hold on the attention of
(bleed.
florists, and every year some new variety and beauty is pro-
The amateur collection which won the cup excited
great admiration. A variety—a seedling of last year, called
Lord Sandon—was much admired. The-prizes, at the close
eMof the day, were distributed. The cup, presented by 'l'. B.
olyneux, Esq., value six guineas, bore the following in-
scription :—" Presented by T. B. Molyneux, Esq., to the
