Mr. Wotton-~That is all the evidence I have to offer just now, but as the case is oneof considerable importance I don't feel quite justified in closing it at present, as it is quite possible 1 may have other charges to prefer against the prisoner, arising out of the same maiter.

Bask, post-date the receipts, and so put himself in a position to conceal the fact of his : deficiency. We have to go through most of the drafts, and see whether all the money has been actually paid out, or whether he has been guilty of other offences which may not come under the present charge. Therefore I ask for a further remand.

His Worship-Does it affect the total amount?"

Mr. Wotton-I don't think so, but I have reason to believe that I shall be able to shew that he has been guilty of making false entries, covering the sums he originally took, so as to guard against discovery. That is an offence in self, for a bank clerk to make a fraudulent entry in his books, and it is my duty, on behalf of the Banks, and for the protection of the week,
