UNION•UALL.—A, charge of felony baring
made against an agent to an eminent house in the pm;
lain and glass trade, yesterday the person i
underwent another examination.

Mr.'rt:aTox, the barrister, attended is malt
the accusers, and Mr. HARMER was present in theta,
of the accused.
' Mr. TURTON stated the nature of the charge,
said that the prisoner was employed as an agnee,yo4
pose of part of the stock of a considerable eaelre •
curer of china and glass, end for this pep. s
house was taken in the Borough. The prieelyw
previously been in the business at Dover; lei ill
trouble and services a certain per centage use
be allowed him, but the goods were still Uremia*,
property of the gentleman by whom be Rae engirt
When any goods were furnished him, they Ten yit
accompanied by a bill of parcels, containing the pti
he was to sell them for, in which lie had no y
make any edict ation. The business was condseepey
this manner up to September last, when, is use,
quence of the returns he made being very oak
the stock was taken, and a deficiency of spuds
of !even hundred pounds discovered. The prime
affected to be surprised at this account, and
if time was granted,,be certainly should be 'bleu isl
test some error, and his honesty not being at the
time suspected, this request was readily complied eitii
he bad, however, failed in clearing up the ulster,
and not having even come forward, although repot.
edlv requested to account in any manner with
cipals, on Saturday last another servant of the fee
was put into the possession of the house. On the pi.
soner coming home in the evening, he, with &Rothe
man also in custody, and charged as an accomplice it
this transaction, and a police-otficer, turned the ink
appointed agent and family into the street. A eat
was set over the house, but nothing occurred utetie
of notice until Saturday mining, when the two ei•
soncrs were detected in carrying off large punkin
of the different wares. On Monday morning last, whee
t!,ey went to take possession a second time, the don,
&c. were barricaded, so as to prevent for some time
access being had into the house; when it was obtaisee,
they found the premises and business deserted, sod
further deficiency of two build redpounds and upwards.

Mr. HARMER said he was satisfied that DO etaldfoh
lony coild be made out; innumerable cdses ens
within his own knowledge, where parties Ladlssasa
trusted with goods to dispose of as agents, sai
been deficient in the accounts, hut it was never el►
templated to indict them for felony. The caw wa
different with a servant, who did every an watt fir
immediate direction of his master.

Mr. CIIAMBICRS thongbt that a felony hatlbasese.
mitted. Evidence was partly gone into, bat Mt.
Chambers having an engagement elsewhere, the lee
ing was postponed, and the two prisoners were re
mantled for future examination.
