No. 4941-May 9, 1879.1
Rahamtulla gave a cheque for Rs.2,4050 Mr Russell: I will not go further with and prisoner would have to give him the this case, my Lord. I shall ask, the wit-med up, balance. The prisoner denied to me that news no further questions. I believe I have he had not received that cheque and given change. The actual payment was $1,602.50 that would have a return-balance of $808. Goods sold to the Chloers are generally sold on credit; Bengal, Benarcs and Patna oplum is generally sold for cash. Yarn le old sometimes on credit sometimes for cash, Sales on credit are made only to parties who are approved by him.
Ro-examined The tbres cheats sold to Fahamtulla were not imported by the firm; them were purchased here on spec. and resold; the transaction did not appear in the sales book. Loosl sales and resales if they extended over a considerable period were kept on separate elips; they were special ventures.

The Attorney General very briefly sum- Mr Russell stated that he would not press proved by other witnesses all I desire to the charge of embezzlement under the prove. I have tried to do my duty in this second count; he would ask them to return case, and I did what I believed was advi- a verdict of "larceny" under that count sable and necessary in the interests of jus- which they were empowered to do by the local ordinanes, as His Honour would in- tiee, but-
street them. Some of the items charged in the previous items were charged in the other counts, but if they found him not guilty on one or all of the other counts still It would be quite competent for them to find him guilty on the last count; and if only one of the items making up that sum was proved that would be mufficient to support the whole obargs.
His Honor: You have not provided a tran- slation as you should have done according to the rules of this Court, and the Court is thereby hindered and prevented from going on with the oase.
The Attorney General: I wanted to make it clear by the evidence of this man that the items in the compradore's books were precisely what my witness Abdhool Hoosein anid. This, I could best do, this I could put most clearly to the jury by referring this shroff to the books item after item.
His Honor: I desired a translation to be made, and it should have been done.
The Attorney General: What Your Lord- ship desired to be done has been done. A translation was made by the officer of the Court, which is a most imperfect translation and of no use to us.

Mr Ng. Choy, whose address lasted rather less than an hour, hold the compradore was not necessarily a servant, referring to the market compradore familiar to all of them (His Honor said he never heard of him before), and to the ship's compradores, neither of which were servante. He received no wages; he had an allowance of $30, which with $20 more or so he paid out to the disposal of the servants who were firm. He was more an agent and banker combined, and broker; he was allowed to do as he liked, he was a partner in several other firms; he introduced business to the firm and got his percentage from the pur chaser; he got no advantage whatever from the firm; when the firm was "hard-up" ho lent them money, as much as $10,000 at a time. Were these facts consistent with bie being a servant His conduct when the mistakes were epoken of was in bis favour. He frankly, straight forwardly, bonestly, said, "Yes, I have looked my books and find I got it; enter it now." Had the man ever intended to embezzle the money he would not have shown his face again. With regard to the obeque which he said he had not got, the mistake was through the wrong amount first being stated, and then through the cheque not being for the amount of the debt.. The accidental omis- sions were easily to be accounted for by the innumerable transactions he had, and the large sums that passed through hie hands. There had been omissions by which the compradore would have lost largely, but
