The trial of the information against the directors aril manager of the Royal British Bank for conspiring by false pretences to defraud the shareholders and cos tumers and the publ:c, was this day resumed. The same counsel appeared ao before. The case was resumed this morning. Mr George Anderson was called and examined by \lr. Atherton with reference to the past due bills and past due bills book having reference to the advances made by the bank, most of which had been the subject of in quiry in the early part of these proceedings. He stated he found the bills had been classified on the sth April, 1853, as follows : good bills, 17,153/ ; doubtful, 4 a lil. 15. 4! ; beg, 6 6281. 3s 7d ; bills in liquidation, 17,154/. 7s 41; and nailer 1 , _%::11 rr , cess, 4,9451. 5s 81. The classification commenced on the 31st Dec„ 1851, between these dates no addition had been made to the past dial bills, the outstanding account remaining the same. A " money lodged and lent book" was kept ; all the past due bills and loans were shown in it. None of their bad kills were written off as " despe rate," but carr.ed on as securities, up to 29th August, 1853. The amount of past due bills at that time was 24,2601. 161, being an increased 5,0001. or 6,000/. since December, 1851 ; the past duel ans were, at that time, 10,7591. 15s 61 from that date to the 18th June, 1855. On the 31st December, 1853, 0 0 outstanding due bills were 24,7061. 144 7 , 1; on 31 April, 1854, 32.304/. 13s 4I; on 30;h June, 37,0181. 144 id ; on 4;h Sept., 40,3951. lle 2,1 ; on 30;h Oot , 50 5991. 19. lld ; on 25,1 Nov., 56,8981. 44 Li ; on 3d Jan., 1855, 73,416/. 13s 7.1 ; on 12th Feb., 78.2031 111 d; on 12th March, 82 276/. 6s 11.1; on 12 h April, 83 9211. 184 10 1 ; on 14th May, 88,0101 144; on 18. b June, 88,8441. 19.51 ; and on 21st July. 92,3231. 8s 81, including 21,1171. 2s 21, De Tart's dishonoured bid. ; on 6th August, 1855, tl e past due bills amounted t • 68,8581. 134 51 ; OA 14 September, 70,3251.

Past due loans on Ist September, 1855, amounted to 20,4771 13s lld ; bills e-ntinued, &e., 24,3431 8s 341. On 17th Sept. past due loans were 51 , 0 73 1 . 2s 91; bills on collateral security, 24 3431, 8s 31. The past due loans at tie time, including Mr. Li. Brown's, brought from convertible securities, amounted to 29,1851. 184 101. Up to December, 1855, the past due bills were 63,7561. 7e 41 ; the past one loans, 17,7421. Os Id. ; bills continled, &c., 4784/. lls 91 ; making a total of 106,2821. 19s 2i. The "green ledger" commenced early in 1854, and was kept by Mr. Cameron, junior, and Mr. Munro. The accounts transferred from the other books at first were written by Mr. Crawford. All the officials had access to it. It contained the names of the bank officials only. In it were the accounts 01 Mr. Baring (sweeter), Brown (director), Bernard (cashier), Cochrane (. - lirector), Clarke (director), Cameron (general managei), Chandler (auditor), G synne (director), Kennedy (dtree ti.ir). Logan ( ate clerk), Mii.gregor (director), M.'Cloud (dirtctra), 31111!enti (late solicitor), Napter (late ace, WI WI.), 0 wen (iirectoi), Paddi*on (solicitor), Ruston (director), the two Mr. Ifaliante ( irector:), and Wal ton (director). During the illness of Mr. Cameron, he was unable to say if the "green lodger" was from time to time before Mr. E dada. Mr. Atherton said ho was prepared to show the state of the accounts for 1856. Sir F. Kelly said it RAS not required, b..clues it was not in this information. The Arno 3nt of ( bills on which he calculated interest in 1855 was 46,3891. 147 7d, the interest was 2,6741. 2s 10 I, which was mulled to profit. He was directed not t )oalculate interest en certain bills after 1355, up to 10,0351. By Mr. Sergeant Shee—The value of the bi is fur osculating interest was ascertained from a knowledge of the parties. The wane's was then cross-examined on the balance. sheet of 1855. It was a dry and tedi;us process, utterly uninteresting and unintelligible without the document.. He added that he had his suspicion when be was told by Mr. Barnard not to value certain bills for ' interest in June r Ju'y, 1855; that they wire bad. It he had known any part ut the bids were bad he should have gone to the directors and taken their instructions thereon. A provision was made for bad debts in the kaianoe-sheet in :41d;tion to the reserves. fun ! ;, Mr. rl atipleton joired the bank after the publication elf the batance. l / 4 heet in June, 1855. Sir F. Kelly examined the witness as to the drawing up of the balance-sheet of 1855, which was reported to him, and not a report of wilier' be took partin producing. Lord eampb , ll—There is nothing on the face of this balances-Theet that would undeceive him. He ,:id not see the balance sheet before it was printed, he did not know who gave instructions what ekoulci be left out and what retained. By Mr. James—He never saw an item for past due bills in the reports of English Joint Stock Banks ; the aura of 89,000/. pa't due bills contained a portion of Brown's debt, for which the Bank held securities ; it in• eluded tome of Oliver's and Da Tart's liabilities, 21,0001. for which the bank held a second mortgage ; it also included Macgregor's and Mullena' debt=. Mr. Sergeant Shee—The balance-sheet printed for circulation is only an abstract of the balance-sheet. The Jury said they were quite aware cf thr.t. Lord Campbell—So far as I understand no objection is taken to the term of the abstract. By Mr. Slade—Mr. Owen (director) had a credit lalance of 891. when the bank failed. By Mr. Huddleston—Mr. Brown had advanced to him at tie b”ginning of 185412,0001. on bills, for which he gave security, the Helen Lindsay, the Magdalena, and the Fiero, and lodged a bill of sale of them. Early in March that sum had been paid off, and before the mortgage was given to Mr. Walton. A juryman complain° that in crosE•rx+mining the witness allusioa hid been made to other Joint Stocks by name in comparison with this, relative to the form of their balance-sheet, which be thought a dishonour. Mr. James said he had done so merely to show the form ustd. Lord Campbell said he thought the form unobjec tionable. Mr. James said ho used it merely to show that the forms were such as ought to be used by all joint-stock banks as being unexceptional. Lord Campbell said he thought they had better not enter on such topics. By Sir F. 'rhesiger—He never blew of the bank writ ing off a bad debt. One of the balance-sheets contained au entry of only 307/. when they amounted to 3,217/. There were similar discrepancies in other balance-sheets. Mr. Barnard was next called. He deposed that he wascashier to the bank from 1849 to 185 G, when he took tho management of the Holhern branch. The witness deposed to his attending the finance committee and the meetings of the directors. He had no doubt he bad called the directors' attention to the past-due bills ac count and other matters connected with the bank, but he could not say who were present on that occasion. He also spoke of the past-due bills book and other books being constantly laid before the directors at the meetings. He made out a list of bdis during Cameron's Dina; which he marked bad, doubt ful, and gootl, and be discussed the mater with him on his recovery, there was but a slight difference in the estimate*. The witness then entered into detail•i,sho wing the various transactions in which he had persaual communication with the directors and general manager on the business of the bank. By Mr. Sergeant Shee —ln May, 1855, be believed the bank was vita solvent, and he had no idea of its stoppage until within a short period of its suspension. He had no idea, in 1855, teat ono quarter of the capital and the reserved fond had been lout. He believed the Welch works would ultimately turn out a fortune. The business up to December, 1855, had greatly improved and increased . Th e losses were greater and the profits less in a new concern than cce long estab lished. The bank were beginning to find out those cus tome!s, and close their accounts, whojwanted to swindle them. Mr. Kennedy introduced his brother-in-law, Mr. Spend; to the bank, and also his mothe r -i n -l aw , Lady Valiant, who was a creditor of the bank to the extent of 600/ By Sir F. Kelly—When Mr. Stapleton joined the hell he tranpferred the account from Barclay and Co.'e, paying ia 1,1781.19.5 d, and when the bank stopped he had 89/. 7s 8 I to his credit. lie never had accommodation for himself or friend. He paid 1,0001. for his original shares, and had since paid 2,5001. calls on them. Mr. Stapleton had only received 109/. of the bank for c f vslary as director and for dividends. After the balance. best Wi.B 111:5. ,volnlitted to the audit ire appointed by the shareholders. By Mr. James—He induced a private friend in 1855 to j .in the concern from a sincere belief it was a prosperous ooe. Mr. Eidailo devot,d his time assiduously fur the benefit- of the bank. The bank had 48,0001. in money when it stopped. They paid away 200,000/. a few days before the stoppage. By Mr. Slade—Mr. Owen had a ca.h balance attba bank. He always appeared to evince the g reatest anxtety for the proTerity of the bank. By Mr., Huddle:stone—lt was at his suggestion Mr, Brown paid in a cheque Of 181. 14'. when he opened his account with the bank. Witness asked him to let h; "clear" it, seeing it a mon g st Mr. Brown papers, Mr. Brown had paid 400 , 0001 . in to his credit at the bank. Till 24th Afarch Mr. Brown's balance was over 5,000/. By Mr. Lawrence—M'Cleod wag inspecting manager of the branches. He never had any accotnmodation ttona the bank. His atfeni Ica was more directed to tee [PRIOR 4 D. S TAMPED 5n .] branches than the principal office. He discharged his duty wi•h a desire to serve the bank. By Mr. Seymour—He was unable to say if Mr. M'Cleod invested the money settled on his marriage with Miss Cameron in the Royal British Bank shares. Mr. Cameron's drawing account was genera ly in a very good condition. The list of past due obligations were made out at Mr. Cameron's request. He calculated the bad bills at 12,0001., and Mr. Cameron at 21 0001. Mr. Cameron leaving the bank, and the run that took plzie on it from the attacks •in the papers, materially contributed to its stoppage. Mr. Brown commenced his account with the bank with a discount similar to the cour e adopted at the Bank of Euglani. Mr, H. Empson recalled —lleprJved being instructed to proceed for t!-le reepvery of dears owing t bank. Sir F. Tbesiger proposed to put Mr. Esdaile's affida vit under the Winding -up Act as evidence against him self, as to his knowledge of the affairs of the bank. Sir F. Kelley, Mr. Bovill, Mr. James, and Mr. K.,n nedy objected to the recep ion of the evidence at the present time. Ls; d Campbell took time to consider the point. • Mr. Paddison was then E xamined with reference to the new issue of shares after Feb., 1855. The evidence occupied the court till its rising. SIXTH DAY. The fallowing is a more extended account of the close of yerterday's proceedings than ss e were enahled to give in our impression of last evening : Mr. John Finlayson was called. lie said he went into Mr. Cameron's service as clerk at Dingwall, in (..) 12 Mr. C smeren farmed some land there with a Mr. Ever, but tee :at,er got into eiffilulties, and Mr. Cameron took the farm liabilities on himself. In CJUSE quence of Mr. Ewer's difficulties, a cash credit account was opened at tie National Bank of Scotland. Mr. A. Mattheson became security for 5,0001. but that was not sufficient to pay off the eehts on the farm. Lord Campbell—Have time matters come to the knowledge of the defendants ! Mr. Welsby—No, it only refers to Cameron. Lord Campbell suggested that the learned counsel should rot continue this part of the case. Mr. Welsby—Then I will proceed with the case of E.n peon. By Mr. D. Seymour—Mr. Cameron held many highly responsible offices in Scotland in connection with the Crown, and was looked noon as a roan of good repute. He still was Clerk of the Peace of Dingwall, and also Clerk of Supply and Chamberlain or factor of Crown rents. He was also a very large sheep farmer. The Court then adjourned for a short time. On the re-assembling of the C .urt, Mr. Weleby proceeded with Mr. Ernpsen'e account. Mr. Henry Empeon was called. lie stated he was a solicitor, carrying on business in Moorgateestreet, and acted as agent for Me-are. Mildew and Paldison. He never purchased shares in the it eyal British Bank on his own account. In May, 1854, Mr. Gatherer the share registrar called on him, and from what he stated witness accepted and signed the transfer of certain shares. Hie name was used as trustee of the bank ; in 1855 and in 1856 the circumstance frequently occurred. He had no knowledge that shares stood in his name till after the stoppaee of the bank. lie did not know an account was opened in his name. By Mr. James—He was only communicated wi h on these occasions by Mr. Crawford and Mr. Gatherer. He had no conernunicatioe with any of the directors till after the failure of the bank. By Mr. Seyrneur—Tee only purchase of shares was after Mr. Mullets' death. Mr. Crawford wee called—He deposed that in June, 1855, Mr. CUlleroll 2 ,4 private account was opened in the name of H-2nry E opson ; in that account he was debited with money paid for shares. The first entry that was made was for seven shares purchaoe.i by Lady Adair for 3501 ; the seceed, 2,0001. for 40 shares ; the third, 1,5001. for 30 shares; and a four h for 501. 7e. tid. Toe m mey was paid ler teem out of the brink. Sir F. Thesiger said he now proposed to ge iol.o evi dence relative to the pant-due bills book, and the other books which were regularly presented to the courts of directors and the different boards and summit ees. Lard Campbell—And what then ! S:r F. Tossiger—After that Mr. Paldison will go generally int-, the whole case with regard to the know ledze of the directors in the different matters. Lord Campbell—And next ? Sir F. Thesizer— The representati fns which were me.de to the shareholders. Lord Campbell—And that will be the whole ? S.r F. Theeiger—Yee Sir F. liel;y—Ain I to uadsr'tand that the Case as to Mr. Cameron's debt and securities is closed ? Sir F. Thesieer—Yes. Mr. Crawford was again put into the brx to give additional evidence as to the purchase of British Bank shores by the bank before the other branch of evidence wee proceeded wit's. In the course of his exemn nation, Mr. James of jested to the admissibility of a portion of this testimony. Lord Campbell—l am of opinion that it is admissible. Mr. James said be would beg leave t ) tender a bill of exceptions to his lordship's decisieme - Lard Campbell--I shall not grant a bill of exceptiots in a criminal trial. James said he had the authority of his lordship la a particular case for his application. L .rd Campbell—l formeily said that a bill of exec!). tons would lie in a criminal case, but I very sino,rely regret that I did so, for, on consideration and on con sultation with my learned brother°, I am now clearly of opinion that I was wrong. Mr. James --The question can be decided hereafter. Lord Campbell—l think the evidence is admissible. Mr. J your lordship take a note of my obj, cdnn Lord Campbell—G) on. Mr. James—l think I am entitled to have a note taken. Lord Campbell—Go on. (Laughter.) Mr. CrawforJ, ea twined by Sir Fitar sy Kelly—To the best of his belief and recollection the account originated in this way. Einpson's name was given as the purchaser of the shares, and witness had asked Cameron if he should charge the account in Empson's name. There were shares in the name of Miss Cleikion who married Sir RebertAdair, and it was understood at the bank that she wished to sell her shares, and a purchaser was ioun in Empson. The account of Empson was 12,7731 Witness was perfectly aware Ewpeon was only a trustee for the bank, fur Cameron had toll him so. Mr. Robert Beveridge was then called—l entered the service of the b,..nk as bill clerk in October, 1850 It was part of my duty to wake an entry of the bills drawn on the bank for discount. The oast-due bills book was kept by me from Feu. 1851, to Feb. 1852. Tois book contains an account of all past-due bills, the names of the parties, and the date at which they became overdue. I took the particulars from the bills so delivered to toe for the purpose. The witness was asked what wiiis the amount outbtansi in; on the 20th Feb. 1851 of past-due bile. Sir F. Kelly objectiid until proof w:is given as to 1 which of the defendants were members of the committee at the time. Lord Campbell said none of the defendants clan be affected by the witness stating what the amount was. It is the only mode in which justice can be administered. Sir. F,'Kelly—l assure. our lorthlip there is a very simple mode— Lord Campbell—l, sitting here as j edge, rule that the question is perfectly regular. Sir F. Thesiger—We will do hereafter what Sir Fitz roy t and I hope he will give us cr e dit f or a that fairness and j us ti ce d eman d s . y: r Kel o ly d a o sk a 7 l , Sir F.

In consequence of the rafttsal of Mr. Jardine, the Bow street magistrate, to accept bail in the c se of N. Simon Bernard, Mr. Sleigh, the defendant's counsel, applied to Mr. Justice Wightman yesterday afternoon, at judge's chamb4ns to reverse his worship's decision. _ . . Mr. Bodkin, counsel for the Crown, attended to oppose the application. Mr. Sleigh, after reviewing the facts of the case as already before the public, surd that it was almost the in variable practice 01.ma,gistrates to admit to bail in cases where the offence charge' was simply one of misdemeanour. No doubt, in the present instance, the worthy magistrate— whose discretion he was the last man living to call in ques tion—had been influenced by the grave representations of his learned friend the counsel for the prosecution, as to the defendant's complicity with Orsini and others; but the utter absence of any evidence, and the improbability really of there being any evidence hereafter in support of such a conjecture, were sufficient reasons, he contended, why there should have boon no deviation from the ordinary rules of the Court. His Lordship said, it was quite unusual to make an ap plication of this sort while a case was under remand. The first course would be to issue a certiorari for thedepositions, and when they were before him it would be very properly urged that they were incomplete. Mr. &Akin.— -Exactly so. There never bail been an in stance of the kind. It was impossible for Mr. Sleigh to know what character the charge might hereafter assume. In the Custcm-house prosecutions a few years ago, where the defendants were remanded from week to week fair a very long period, similar applications were made to the judge and invariably refused, it being the opinion of his lordship that there ought to beno interference with the discretion of the magistrate unless there had been any unreasonable de lay on the pirt of the prosecution. .There coul ba_none charged in this instance, the defendint apprehended on Sundaylsst. Sir. Sleigh referred io the case of two prisoners named De Salvi and Gower, who were charged with an attempt to assassinate (and subsequently it proved to be murder) in the Qteen's Bench Prison. In that case Gower was ad mitted to bail by the judge, pending the inquiry. His Lordship—That was a very different matter. The application on behalf of Gower was not opposed, but ap proved, by the prosecution. When the evidence is com plete and the defendant stands committed, I might enter tain theapplication, probably, it the magistrate still refuse to allow bail. Mr. Sleigh—But surely, your Lordship, if it would be just to admit the defendant to bail then a fortiori it must be still more so now that the charge against him is incom plete. There is every probability that this inquiry will go on, by slow steps, from week to week, for a long perid. His Lordship—Well, if that should be the case—if, for example, the defendant should be again and again re manded, with ou t reasonable ground of there beng any cat on charge ultim a t e l y established—you clan renew the appli- Mr. - Sleigh—l understand then, that if the defendant is remanded for anot h er eight days, and still detained in custody ; I may come to yon again. • His Lordship—Yes, you can do so.

P ft \t-1 .1( (Befcre the Lord Ch ance ll or .) `: IN BE WATTS. - 7 The Lord Chancellor delivered judgment in this ins 41: portant case this morning. s This .was an a p p li cation by Mr. Watts, who had been struck off the roll of attornies of this Court, lo be restored.- It will be remembered that Mr. Watts, fornseily an attorney of this Court, WAS str uck off the rolls of attor- • nits by Bit Honour Vint-Cha ncellor Sir John Stuart, and afterwards on appeal by the Lord Chancellor in respect of the misapplication of one thousand pounds received by him from the Rev. Mr. Funby, to vest it on good mortgage security. Mr. Watts represented to Mr. Fonby that the money was invested on good security, but it was lent on buildings in the course of erection at Folkstone and Maidstone, which turned out an unprofitable speculation, and Mr. Watts himself afterwards became bankrupt. The Lord Chancellor in deliv'ring judgment raid, that this case had given him the greatest possible anxiety, not only to find out whether there were sufficient grounds for the penal suspension of Mr. Watts from the duties of his office, but also to see whether there were sufficient grounds for restoring him as au attorney of this court. It appeared that he and his par tnir carried on business in Bottle to the extent of about 450001. per annum, but his foss in building speculations and other wise led him to bankruptcy. 1I s lordship observed that it row appeared upon evider ce that the misrepre• eentathns made by him to the Rev. Mr. Fonby, that he had Ltid out his money on a good mortgage invest , ment, was made after the money was advanced and when he was bankrupt, but it was his duty to have informed Mr. Fonby that he was in bankrupt cumstances, and that it was his duty to look to the sufficiency of the security given. If he bad done so, Mr. Fonby might have recovered his money from Watts' assets in the hands of his bankers. His lordship rid not consider that this misrepresentation made after bankruptcy, and when no money was advanced by Mr. Fonly on the faith of its being true, was a sufficient ground for continuing Mr. Watts' suspension from his office of attorney. His lordship had conceived, and he bc..lkr,.? the Vice-Chancellor was of the same opinion, that Mr. Fonby h,(.1 a ir ancod his moncy upon Watts'mia rapre:seutation of the sufficiency of the mortgage security ; whereas, it now-appeared th at mousy was advanced before any misrepresentations were made and that the money was placed in liia'hands to set' Ve beet Reenri , y he could. His lordship did not free Mr. Watts from blame in making a misrepresentation to Mr. Fonby after his tankruptcy, but he did not consider that the public would sustain any injury by restoring Mr. Watts to the roll cf at orneys of tt.is c )urt on the payment of an CO , tbe. Tim rule to strike Mr. Watts off the roll was dis easrged and Mr. Watts is how an attorney of this court. POL W' INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ONE EFFECT 01 Tat GOVERNMENT BlLL.—Among the persons charged with drunkenness at this court this morning was an Italian, who gave his name Bstiira Darighi, brought before Mr Bingba-u by Police-con stable C, 145. • It appeared the constable found the defendant drank in Piccadilly at between two and three o'clock in the morning, where he was exceedingly noisy much to the annoyance of the inhabitants. As he would not mode. rate his clamour the constable was under the necessity o f locking him up. The Itallan told his worship this morning, through the medium of the interpreter, that he was sorry he got drunk, but the fact was it was all owing to the bill throw n out in the house last night. Mr. Bingham asked how he would have done had it been the othrr way and not thrown out ! DAendant thought that !night have somewhat al'ered circumstances and named a little delay, as he should probably then have got drunk in Italy instead of Eng land.
