AMBLESIDE EMBEZZLEMENT CHARGES. ________      At the Ambleside Police Court on Wednesday, Thomas Henry WHARTON, coach builder’s foreman, was brought up in custody on remand charged with embezzling certain sums of money received by him on behalf of his employer, Thos. Wm. GARSIDE, coach builder, Ambleside.    Mr. GATEY appeared for the prosecution.    Three charges were taken against the prisoner. The first was in respect of £10 on the 28th July, a motor and cycle agent, Archie KENDALL, of Windermere, having paid £50 to the prisoner on that date for a body built for a motor chasis, and prisoner only handed over £40, whilst his receipt to KENDALL was for the full £50.    On the second charge, prisoner sold a char-a-banc for 16 to Mrs. WALKER, of the Crown Hotel, Coniston, on the 12th May and received a cheque for the £16 payable to himself, and with this paid an account of £9 13s 4d, due from him to Arthur MILNER, butcher, Hawkshead and received £6 6s 8d in change. He had not accounted for any part of the £16 received for the char-a-banc.    The third case was in respect of £5 received from Mary Jane BURROWS, of the Hope and Anchor Inn, Flookburgh, on the 2nd July, an account of a bill, and which he had not paid over. He had given a proper cheque receipt on behalf of his employer, and told Mrs. BURROWS if the account was sent to her again she had to take no notice of it.    Prisoner was committed to the next Quarter Sessions in the three counts.
