Convict Notes
EMBEZZLEMENT BY A RAILWAY CLERK. JOHN STANDRIN (32), was charged with having, on the 31st of October last, at York, feloniously embezzled seven ounces of jet, quantity of cloth, and numerous other articles, the property of the York and North Midland Railway Company. The bill had been found at the Guildhall, by the city grand jury, and the prisoner was the only individual for trial for offence committed within the city of York. There were three separate indictments against the prisoner, to each of which he pleaded guilty. It appeared that he had been a clerk in the employ of the railway company, and that Mr. Chalk, the chief constable of York, had found property worth ? in his house. Most of this the prisoner acknowledged having stolen whilst be had been so employed, and the remainder of it whilst in the service Messrs. Pickford and Co. In answer to question from his lordship, Mr. Chalk said the prisoner had a wife and one child. Mr. John Morton, clerk at St. Peter’s Church. Ashton-under-Lyne, spoke to the prisoner’s character. He said be had known him 20 years, and had never heard anything against him. He came from Ashton to York, where he had been for two or three years.
