Beginn v. F. S. Huffam, EMBEZZLEMENT. The prisoner, who was formerly Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court and Uffelad Assignee of the estate of Messrs Lyall, Still & Oc., was indicted on five counts for em- bezzling certain sums of money ontrusted to him as official assignee, and as trustee of certain bankrupt cetates.
The following gentlemen were empannel- led as a special juryMesare. W. Wilson, A. Goltsdhow, . D. Bottomley, A. McG. Heaton, J. B. Coughtrie, W. H. Forbes,
and J. A. dos Remedios.
The Attorney General (the Hon'ble G. Philippo), instructed by the Crown Soli. eltor, prosequted, and Mr J. J. Francia, justructed by Mr Dennys, appeared for the
defence.
This osse was resumed to-day m Thomas Arnold was first sallad. He said he had been engaged anditing the
acconats:
I found an entry stating that the deposit of $5,000 had been cancelled and 84,817.16 was to be paid to Mesars Sharp and Toller on account of a judg ment dobt. There was an amount out of which this sum could have been paid without drawing on the fixed deposit at all. On the 26th April there appears to be on hand $20,003.88. He drew out the re mainder of the fixed deposit with interest $20,400. Since that time $3,543.28 have been received. The balans due would thus be $33,690,65, and adding $12,000 the bal. auce would be 355,000 odd. The balance of Mr. Huffam's own account is $16,767.05, of which $1167.50 is in the Colonial Treasury That makes the amounts tally. There is no entry of the $6,000 paid to or received from Mr Sharp last year. There is an
estate.

In reply to His Lordship Mr Sharp said he had enquired at all the banks but had failed to discover that Mr Huffam had any account; there was no mention of the $5,000 in Mr Huffam's account.
Mr Arnold recalled stated that the total amount of the money received by Mr uffam as appeared from the books was ex- clusive of Lyali Sull's account $41,634.80. case to go to the jury. With regard to the Mr Francia submitted that there was no first count, there was se evidence to show that the moneys received were received hy the prisoner as an officer of the Govern ment: the auma had been received by him as official assignee, but as such he was not in the public service of Her Majesty. In fact, prisoner was not a drvant in any way, while he was absolute owner of the moneys 60 paid. Prisoner was of course trustee for His Lordship would reserve the argument other persons; and as he (Mr F.) 788 BUJO on this point, he would not say more on that head.
