GUMLnMALL .-Georo-e Edmonds a young man, who is employed by AIr; Jsames ?Iarmailaoliciror, ine-oftiflce.court, fleet-street, to cTeal out the offices pretious to. the lhours of business, was brought up in the custo'dy t' Earriop, the 3farshalman, chnrgti on suspi. cion of havinig stolen big employer's cash-box, containing Bank. notes, cash, ahd bills of cxchange, to tbe valuc of nearly 120L, be. aides napers and documcents f' gOcat importance Nei:her the box nor any part of its contents bad as yet been traced. It had been seen safe and securely locked tlie previous evening at nine o'clock,: in a drawer in the otflice, which, as it was seldomr kept locked, exhibited nio marks of violence, anid was found open in the morning, was most probablv heedisssly left so the over night. The suspicion against the prisdner was, thut he was the first anl enly person in the office in themorning be'bre the box wiS missetl; and that contrary to his usualpractice hI left the house to go to hisbreakf?ast before be had completewd his Morning's work. This, and the circumstance of its being foun.d, upon inquiry, that hd had scarcely any visible mcans of getting iiis lispod, besides the trifling employmeiit he had' at Ir. lHarmani's, had led to his being taken into custodv. The prisoner wasremaniledl till futther inquiry' has been made. BOW-s`sREET.-5Ir. Sltear, a tradesman of hiigh respectability in lRegent-strcet, aupeared upon summons, to show cause whv lhc detained a Bank of England note for 501., the property of a lady named Wjrarner; i nd why heshould not be proct eded against under Sir Themes Pioxer's Ac:, for having applied the said note to other than the purpose for which it was ititrusic to his care. It was stated on behalf of Slrs. Warner, that she is a lady con'. nected witb sever$l noble and other families offeitk. She has had occasionarl dealings with M1r. Shears,and is indebted to him in a con. siderable sur for goods. Having occasion to 'procure 'change for a 501. note, she' sent her servant to several places for :that purpose- and finally, to 'Ar. Shears, who told the servant hehad not sufficient change in the house. but he would tend for it to his hanker's, and Alis. WVarner ehould have, it very shortly. Somehours had elapsed and no change being sent, Pkirs. Warner tlespatehed her servani again to 3 t. Shears for it, but the latter, in- stead of the scone)Y, enclosed a receipt for the 501. to irs. Mirarner, with a polite intinmation thiat he should place that su'm to the credit of her account. This was considered an unwArrantable step on the part of ;lr. Shears, and it was the more inconvenient4 as the niote vwas atdt the property of Mlrs. Watne'r, but of her' nice (wye be. lievc:) This ciroums tf.nce was made known to M Y. Sheais; but hle still dclined to restore the 601. It was quite true that krs. Wirarner oWYed him mofley, bitt the delay in the payinent wvas purely temporary, .ind occasioned 'by' the 'non-arrival at the expected tixne of remnittances ftom ITndia. 5lr.Sheas'`defence was, that Mrs. *Varner owing him money, hei canceived 'that he' had a liett upon the money that cause into his handi, and hail a rigtht to detain it. M\rs. Whrnbr's solicitor gaid, that he could have no Reus yt all upon the note in question, as it belonged 'to Mis. lrrnet's iiiecr, and not fo lierself Sir R. 3sRIE wais of opinton that Mr.'Shcars was wrrng, cven stippositig the' note to belbig to Mrs. Warniet.' If'that lady owed him nion6y he must recovet it in tle u'ssal way. - By'keeping pos. sessioi of tienote, he had clodty'alplied it to a iifrlbrest purpose to that for vrhith he was' nittusted wit it, and hail thereby rendered himqilf li0ble to"6fe j'rovisions od' SirTl'homasPl6nier's Act. The 6pinion of the horthy' liagistrate was considered' by all' parties as deCsive'of thc qiicstinn'at issuie, and Mr: Shears 'gave up thenote. ' After this was dotib, Mrs. Warner's friends, we under- 8tood bteged into' an arrangen;ent with respct 'to the discheage of her zebt'to ilIr' Sl.ears. by vrhich the-latter received pare of it In Cash, 'and sipple' secuiity for the remninder.
