William Stanton, ; formerly a cashier to Messrs Eeiss Bros., -hipping merchants, who was sentenced to 10 years' penal servitude at tho last Manchester .Assizes for embezzling money amounting to £46,000. The debtor, who received £100 a year salary, said that for six years before 1900 hie income improperly obtained was four or five thousand, and, during the past two years, ten thousand.

He bought South African gold mine stock to the extent of £180,000, and sold it for £178,000. The examination was adjourned.
