THE LATE MYSTERIOUS CASE  OF POISONING AT CAMBERWELL  Yesterday George May, shopman to the late Mr. Montague, who, it will be recollected, had, with Mrs. Montague, been poisoned at Camberwell on the 11th of last month, was placed in the felons' dock, before Mr. Henry, at Lambeth Police-court, on the following charge, as entered inthe police sheet :—" For feloniously appropriating to his own use various sums of money received by him for and on account of his late master ; also with forging the name of the deceased to various receipts in the parish of St. Giles, Camberwell." Mr. Dodd, the vestry-clerk of Camberwell, attended to prosecute on behalf of the heir-at-law to the late Mr. Montague ; and Mr. Humphries appeared on behalf of the prisoner. _  Mr. Dodd briefly alluded to the melancholy circumstances which led to the apprehension of the prisoner, and said that since the mysterious death of Mr. and Mrs. Montague, their books and accounts had been examined, and it was found that the prisoner, who had been their shopman and confidential servant, had received various sums of money on account of his master, of which he had made no entry in the books kept for that purpose ; and coupling this fact with the information which had been obtained from the customers themselves, the nephew of Mr. Montague, who is next of kin, deemed it advisable to give him into custody on the charge of embezzlement and forgery. Evidence was then adduced as to certain. declarations of the prisoner to police-inspector Campbell, with respect to the accounts, and of the receipt of moneys, of which no entry had been made.  Mr. Humphries observed that en the inquest holden after the melancholy affair, on the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Montague, the prisoner had been examined for hours, and, though not upon oath, his deposition had been taken down touching these very accounts, with the greatest minuteness. He complained that it was an indirect attempt to connect the prisoner with a charge of murder. Mr. HENRY said he had nothing to do with such irregularities, and that he should countenance no more inferential imputations. He was of opinion, however, that there were grounds for remand, and he asked what was the total amount of the alleged embezzlement ? Mr. Dodd replied from 50/. to 100/., and added that he would be able to show on a future occasion that the prisoner had represented himself on many occasions as the nephew of the deceased.  The prisoner was remanded to a future day, and Mr. Henry consented to take good bail for his appearance.
