First Accused's Duties. The Brst defendant, said Mr. Lo. was a clerk employed by the firm. His duties were to enter up the account books relating to the stock in the various godowns, and also to check up the stock in hand. When he was first employed his orders were to do all the check- ing up on Sundays only. It trans-

pired that latterly, for about a month before the incident, he had abandoned that practice, and, in- stend of checking up on Sundays. he never went to the godowns, but turned up on a work day and then never did any checking up at all. He would call at the goclowns and remain for a while and then leave. He also started the prac tice of calling for the delivery orders, which he was not cutitied to do. He usually did so on the pretext that he required them for entering up his trooks. The de- livery orders were usually return ed to the hand offre anal there handed to him for entering.

He returned agala on the following morning but it was very unusual thing for him to call on two consecutive days, and he asked for the de- livery order. He appeared to be very anxious to get hold of it, It was eventually given to him with some other orders. He then went to the head office and, some lime In the afternoon, asked for leave of absence.

Fraud Discovered.

Nothing happened until June 11, when the proprietor of the firm happened to have a talk with the Kodown keeper concerning thei steek in hand, and was surpelsod to earn that one hundred cases had been Laken out. He caused Inquiries to be made and the fraud was then discovered. Sus- pleion fell on the defendant who WAS sent for. The defendant came in the evening, when the proprietor was not in, and was
