• Another clever arrest of an English de faulter, effected in Hobson's Bay, in som e of its features bears a resemblance to tnat of the'accountant named Close, who apprehended here in April last, on charges of forgery *and embezzlement, says th 6 Melbourne "Argus." The defaulter in this instance is named Charles years of age, who had been in the employ. ment of the Stavely Coal and Iron Com. pany (Limited), whose head office is in St Pancras-road, London, as a clerk, for over nine years. The Company has six metro. politan dep6ts, at one of which, in Mile. age-yard, Padclington, Biggs acted as whaij clerk. His duties were to receive coal from the colliery, to sell it to the cnsto. mers, to receive moneys, and to account for the same to his superioi's, which generally demanded of him twice or times a week. He left his situation oj the 28th February last, without i any notice, and along with his wife and his children, having left one behind, sailed in the ship Trowbridge, for Melbourne, Immediately after his disappearance discovered that he had appropriated abotj j £350 of the Company's money for his mtj I use. Although this was a small sum {« i the Company, which is a very healthy oik, to lose, yet as they had some 300 clerks jj their employment holding positions d trust similar to that which Biggs had helj, they determined to make an example ty having him arrested and tried for tin offence he is charged with having com mitted, no matter what the cost of ft apprehension might be. From a ladj named Mrs. Hester Compton he had ft ceived, between the 24th January last the 21st February, sums of dioikj amounting in all to £lO7 Is., which held never accounted for. Detectives Machj (Sandridge) and Potter (Melbourne) mil entrusted with the arrest, and along titlf Inspector Dowdell went in a met the Trowbridge as she was tuggei | up the" bay on Saturday afternoon. V\% I she cast anchor about 4 o'clock in Hobsoil f Bay, they approached with the intentia I of hanging on close at hand without goinj 1 on board until the vessel was first passs 1 by the Customs officers.
