BRITISH BANZ (This Day.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, GUILDHALL. (Sitting at Nisi PrisH, before 1 - )rd Campbell and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN T. BROWN AND OTHERS. TEN TEI DAY. The trial of the information again , t the directors and manager of the Royal British Bank for conspiring by false pretences to defraud the shareholders and cus temers and the public, was this day resumed. The same counsel appeared as before. Mr. Atherton said that the prosecution bad had time to look into the remainder of the evidence they proposed to call since the adjournment last night, and they had come to the conclusion that after the intimation of his lordship's opinion that no evidence should be given on this information relative to what occurred in 1858, they would not occupy further time on that head, but pass on to the evidence of shareholders and depositors to prove they were ignorant of the affairs of the bank. _ _ Mr. Thomas Cs.ntrill, Mr. Marcuq, M;.Bsatie, Mr. R. Mitchell, Mr. D. Stewart, Dr. Richards, and Mr. J. Sidcombe (servant), were called to prove the above fact. Some of them stated they received the six per cent. dividend. Mr. Atherton said be proposed to prove the known worthlessness of some of the securities by the directors in 1855. Mr. Scott, sharehroker, was recalled. He stated that in December, 1855, Eastern- Archipelago shares were unmarketable ; Strand Bridge shares were about Si. per share at that time ; Warkworth Dock shares he never heard of in the rearkEt; the Irishßeet-root Sugar Company shares were valueless, and there was no market for Irish Peat shares ; the Chartered Australian Gold Company were only worth a few shillings. (The above were a part of Mr. Macgregor's securities ) Mr. Cooper, clerk to Mr. Lee (official assignee to the Royal British Bank bankruptcy), stated—The debts proved and claimed under the bankruptcy amounted to 537,6461. ls. 6J.. There had been collected 279.083/. 34. 81. The official manager returned 5,0001. as indemnity. There ware 33,0001. outstanding, making 317,0831. 3s. 83. No debts were proved upon the capital which had been lost. The Welsh mines were sold on Feb. 8, 1858, for 6,0001. to the landlord. By Hr. James—The legal expenses under the fiat were 3,000/. Mr. James—That won't cover them. ____ Witness—The whole of the legal ex p enses of working the estate amounted to 22,0001. It included the official assignee's expenses and the 5,6001. for the official manager. He did not know if the water had been let into the mine during its working by the official manager. The landlord claimed 10,0901. damages, and brought an action of ejectment, which had been compromised ; two dividends had been paid out of the agate of ss. 6d. and 2s. 6d. in the pound, 2s. in the pound more was expected, and 4s. in the pound from contri butors under the winding-up order. Some other evidence was given relative to proceedings in bankruptcy, in connection with estates having refer ence to the claims of the bank. Mr. H. Browne estate had realised 20,8161. 15i. 41.; Ur. Macg regor ' s, 1,9881. 124. 6d. ; Mr. Cochrane's,2,ol7l. 108. ; an Mr. Blacker's, 3751. At present nothing bad been received from the Islington Cattle-market, Mr. Gwynne, Mr. Mullens, and Mr. Cameron's estates ; 6,000/. additional was expected from Mr. H. Brown's estate. The plant of the Welsh works were valued by Meows. Fuller and Horsey for the assignees at 13,0001. or 14,0001., at a forced sale, and 38,0001. or 40.0001. to a willing incoming tenant, subject to 1,500/. arrears of rent and dilapidations to a considerable extent. The lease was not valued from its being considered worthless. Mr. Seymour—That was after they let the water into the mine.. (Laughter.) Mr. Paddison recalled, and, in answer to Mr. James, said that Mr. Dumlerr'e reference to the Bank of England when he opened his account with the Royal British Bank, led to the latter discounting his bills to so large an extent, and their becoming involved with the Welsh mines. On the last day of the Royal British Bank's existence there was in cash, bills, and at the Bank of England, at the chief office and at the branches 189,2341. After some further evidence on points of detail rela tive to evidence given in the course of the trial, Mr. Atherton said he hed closed the case for the Crown. Lord Campbell said be thought he might now con gratulate S,r F. Kelly on his appointment as Attorney- General—(applause)—and that then he would take precedence in addressing the jury, notwithstasiding the rule that the learned counsel for the first -named defendant first addressed the jury. Sir F. Kelly asked, if looking at the dates of the balance-sheets of June, 1855, and December, 1855, in connection with the time when Mr. Stapleton joined the bank, he ought to be called upon to address the jury. Lord Campbell said, in his opinion, the ease against the defendants varied very considerably, but he must leave it to the learned gentleman who conducted the prosecution to say what course they would pursue. Mr. Atherton, for the Crown, paid he must ask the opision of the jury is the case of Mr. Stapleton. Sir F. Kelly said that although he could not but express the deep anxiety he felt iu a case like this, and representing as he did Mr. Stapleton, he thought it was his duty to appeal to the learned judge, now that the case for the Crown was concluded, to ask whether it could fairly be said there was a scintilla of evidence affecting the honour, the character, or the conduct of Mr. Stapleton, and he must declare with profound sincerity that it was with no regret he had heard the answer of the learned judge and the determination (though, perhaps, with surprise) he had heard from the representatives of the Crown to take their verdict in the Calla of Mr. Stapleton, for during the loi,g and arduoue investigation day by day of this complicated and im portant case, every moment had he longed for the opportunity of bringing under the calm, patient, and impartial consideration the case of the gentleman who had entrusted it to him. For he ventured to say that if at the close of this great cause he should leave the Court with out the shadow or the shade of a stain or a suspicion on his character no man in this free and enlightened country, where justice was administered more purely, and, he believed, was a nearer approach to perfection than in any other country in the world, could hold his character, his honour, or his happiness safe for a single moment if he had the misfortune to be connected with an establishment like the Royal British Bank. He at the outset weal call their attention not in the technical language of the law, b u t p l a i nly and intell i gen tly a s to what was the nature of th e charge made against M r . Staple. ton and the ether d e f en d ants, and he en t rea t e d their attention more especi a ll y to the ti me —to the period of time which the charg e em b raced, and to t h a t to which it was exclusively confined, not that he had any interest in excluding from their attention any fact that bad been proved in evidence from the earliest establishment of the Royal British Bank to the present time, but because he felt it was essentia', in order thoroughly to appreheed the bearing of the facts of the case upon the character, con duct, and motives of Mr. Stapleton to which the indict meat related, the period of the time during which the conspiracy was said to h ave been formed, and by w hi c h the public, it was stated, had b e en defrauded and deceived; comprising th e period between the early part o f December, 1855, and th e let of February, 1856, w h en the balance-sheet an d the rep ort up to the 31 st of December, 1855, w ere publshed at the meeti n g of shareholders. A great d eal of ev id enc e bad been laid before them most material in its character, and essential and indispensable in the prosecution of the case from the earliest period of the establishment of the Royal British Bank down to the moment of its failure, and even up to the present thee w hen they were cal led ' it must upon to try this case, but be p roved in that the directors of the Royal British Bank had a knowledge of the real state of the ban defraud bank and made state ments that were fal se , to the public ; and what the judge had to deal with was , two or whether one or more of the defendants conspired to defraad and impose upon the public by the publication of the balance sheet and report up to 31st D ecem b er , 1855, which were materially and substantially false, and which they knew to be false when the p ublished it charge to the world, an d theyfrom which, through their verdict, h e had to deliver Mr. Stapleton was that before or at the time when the balance-sheet. up to 31st Dec. 1855, was to publi shedthe shareholdere he knew they were subst • enti ally and materially false, and that knowing so, he was a part y the p ublication to the shareholders and the world at l arge. a If it be brought home to sdr. Stapl e t on that such was the fact, they ought to pronounce a verdict of guilty against him, but when he had called theirattention to the undoubted and unquestionable facts of the case, in respect of the dates of their tra nsaction, they would I find that to charge Mr. Stapleton with a knowledge on the 12th Feb., 1856, that the balanc e - s h eet was fals e to ' the extent of 100,000/ or more by reason of bad debts, Sec., they might as well charge him (the learned counsel) and them (the jury) with the same offen ce, who never heard of these transactions till long afte r the failure of the bank, and they became notorious to the public out of doors. The learned counsel then referred to the period when Mr. Stapleton became a depositor and director in 31st Ju!y, 1855, and if the bank was sound on the 31st of December, 1855, it was also sound at the time when Mr. Stapleton joined the bank, and if it were true that the balance sheet waq wrong at one time it was perfectly clear, and bad been proved, it was false at any other period and Mr. Stapleton, in the hour when . d hel be came a shareholder of the Royal British Bank, in July, 1855, became a ruined man. He was the deceived, and not the deceiver—he was the victim, and not the perpe. trator of the crime with which he was charged. The learned gentleman then referred to Mr. Stapleton's family connections, and his relationship to Sir James Matheson, member of a well-known commercial house in the City, and passed on to his joining the bank. He then stated that Mr. Stapleton was not a wealthy man, as his deposit with the bank showed, but it also showed that he had no accommodation whil-t he was connected with it. Refering to the balance -sheet, the learned gentleman said that Mr. Cameron and those who acted under him were responsible for the production of the balance-sheets, because it had been shown that none of the directors were allowed to examine the sta tistical tables on which they were made out, Mr. Cameron believing the directors bad no r i ght to interfere with the executive. When Mr. Stapleton joined the Royal British Bank he believed he had joined a solvent establishment, and there was nothing on the face of things to awaken a sus picion that anything was wrong. During 1855, the period when Mr. Stapleton was a director, he w as a b sent f or a considerable period during the long vacation, and again when Lady Matheson met with a lamentabl e acc id e nt that deprived her of her life ; but it was true that he attended the court meetings from October, 1855, to F briary, 1856, when the conspiracy was said to have Akan place. But no evidence had been given that such was the case ; for it had not been enown what they did or said with a view of defrauding the sharehoPers of she bank, and he defied the prosecution to do so. Mr. Staple ton assiduously attended to the meetings of the court and of the former committees durirg the above p‘liiod, when h- took a prominent part in considering the state of four debts —one was the bills of H. Brown, and after wards his debt ; the second was the Welsh mines ; thirdly, the debt of Oliver ; and fourthly, Blacker's debt. In consequence of an irregularity committed by Mr. Cameron in reference to Brown's debt, Mr. Staple ton was annoyed with both Cameron and Brown, the result of which was that the former retired from the general management, and the latter from the directory, and yet Mr. Stapleton was charged with a conspiracy with men with whom he held no communication at the time when it was stated the conspiracy took place. Be called on the prosecution to state the day, the time, and occasion, and the moment when Mr. Stapleton conspired with Cameron and Brown, and defied the public at the time when he iwas not on speaking terms with them. To conspire, it was necessary that parties should be on good terms, and the offence commenced in secret, and therefore it did not appear at all probable that Mr. Stapleton conspired with these parties, and at the time when Cameron was making out the balance-sheet up to December, 1855. He complained of the course adopted by the Crown in making all the directors defendants, which had the effect of shutting all their months, and preventing them giving that explanation of the circum stances of the case which it was desirable should he known. [To be continued i❑ our last edttionj THE CHARGE AGAINST MR. ISAAC BUTT, M.P. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE.-TIIIS DAY. The committee for investigating the charges in the petition of Mr. Coffey against Mr. bean Batt re-assem bled this morning at 12 o'clock in No. 18, Committee room. Mr. Roebuck said he should require Sir J. W. Hogg and Mr. Mangles, chairman of the East India Company, to be called as witnesses, as also the several clerks of the banks who paid thecbeques of Ali Moorad. Sir J. Graham said he would write a note to those gentlemen requesting their attendance. Sir James Graham to Mr. Coffey—Have you been able to ascertain the precise date of the cheque handed tojMr. Butt for attending the consultation Mr. Coffey—My cheque is dated February 15, 1857. The cross-examination of Mr. Coffey by Mr. Deasy was then proceeded with—ln 1857 it was thought advis able that the Ameer should go to India. The Ameer saw Mr. - Vernon Smith, and it was his advice that the journey should be undertaken as expeditiously as possible. The Ameer and myself left London the day the cheque for 1,999/. was drawn, the 29th of August. I did not tell my brother that we were to sail by the packet of the 27th. We stopped in Paris two days, and I believed we should be able to reach Vienna the day after we quitted Paris. We reached Dresden, to the best of my recollection on the sth of September, after leaving Paris on the 27th of the previous month. We reached Trieste on the 11th, but the packet for Alexandria sailed on the 10th. We were accompaniel some part of the way by a lady named Parr and her son. She remained at Trieste three or four days. She was present when Mr. Elliot spoke of Indian affairs. I was not direni , sed from the Ameer's service. He was my friend and I was not his servant. When Mrs Parr parted with the Ameershe wentto Venice. I went there and met her. I have been living lately in London. lam a married man, but lam not living with my wife. We are not separated. There was a differ ence between us in consequence of our religion. I first told Mr. Roebuck about this petition eight or ten days ago. I have had three or four interviews with that gen tleman. Mrs. Parr was present at the first of these in terviews. She has been taking an active part in this petition, but she was referred to by inference, not by name, by Mr. Butt, and it is to vindicate herself from a foul aspersion that she now comes forward. The aspersion is that I introduced her as my wife at the ins erview in Vienna. I became aware that Mr. Butt bad made the assertion by a letter from my brother. Before the receipt of the letter I bad suspended pro ms hinge. Some three or four days after I received the letter I saw Mrs. Parr frequently, at her residence in Bond-street. L 3 tters were here put in showing that the petitioner's brother had remonstrated with him for introducing the soi-dzsant Mrs. Coffey. Cre ,s-examination continued—Up to the recall of that letter I had only written to Mr. Vernon Smith, but I bad not taken any steps with respect to this petition. I only commenced proceedings when Mr. V. Smith de clined to interfere. I received an ens wer to my applica tion to Mr. Smith on the 20th Sept. last. I have never given a written statement of my case to Mr. Roebuck. I never gave one to my parliamentary agent. Holmes is the name of the gentleman who was my agent. He acted, for me up to the time: my petition was presented. He is not acting for me now. He was engaged in my business about eight days. The only person I ever gave a written statement of the ocntents of that petition was my brother. The written statement forwarded by Mr. Coffey to Mr. Vernon Smith was here put in and read by the Chairman. The a riter complained that Mr. Butt had accused him of attempting to sell the Ameer, that Mr. Batt had drawn large sums of money froin the Ameer without ever accounting for them, that Mr. Butt had informed the Araeer on the authority of the President of the Board of Control that unless the Amer dismissed him (Mr. Coffey). ho would never obtain satisfaction for his claims from the British Government. [To we eentinued is oar last edition.] CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Wightman sad Mr. Justice Crompton.) Mr. Alfred Feist, late 'master of the Newington Workhouse, surrendered to take his trial upon a charge of misdemeanour, in having unlawfully disposed of the dead bodies of certain paupers who died in that estab lishment. Mr. Robinson prosecuted ; Mr. Matthew was counsel for the defendant. The facts of this case have been given at ♦ery great length, and it will be remembered that the specific charge against the defendant was that be bad disposed of the bodies of a number of paupers for the purpose of their being dissected at Guy's Hospital, without the consent of the relatives, and that the dissected remains of one pauper were substituted for the dead body of another, the mourners on hardly any occasion following the remains of their relative to the grave. The case is expected to last the whole of the day, the greater part of the morning being occupied iu the reception of formal evidence and long trivial arguments as to the admissibility of some of the documents pro duced. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) George Richard Ratcliff, a dark, was indicted for stealing a piece of paper, value one penny, the property of Messrs. Mockford and Maynard, merchants, of Thames-street, his masters. Mr. Bodkin, with whom was Mr. Tindal Atkinson, appeared on the part of the prosecution ; Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Orridgs defended the prisoner. The prisoner was tried yesterday on a charge of forgery, and acquitted. After a long trial, which lasted all the morning, the jury found him guilty. The Recorder sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in Holloway jail for the space of two years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FURIOUS DRITING.—ENDANCEBING LlFE.—Robert Masters, a coachman, in the employ of Mr. Tayl,ir, Crystal Palace Livery Stable, Norwood, was charged with furiously driving a brougham last night in Regent-street, while in a state of drenkenness, and knocking down two women, one of whom is very serioisly injured. Police-constable C 89, said be saw the defendant on the coach-box of a brougbam, galloping the horse furiously down Regent-street at about half-past 11 o'clock. He ran after him, calling to him in vain, for he saw there was great mischief to be apprehended from the reckless way he was driving. Suddenly he turned round into Air-street, which is very narrow, and in doing so knocked down two women crossing at the time. At the same moment the defendant was pitched off his box. The witness as speedily as pos Bible stopped the horse. The two women were attended to, and the defendant taken into custody. He was discovered to be quite drink. Defendant said he was quite sober. Inspector W ebb, who took the charge, raid be was positively too drunk to walk. Mary Tripp said she was walking with her daughter at the time, and both were knocked down as described. She had providentially escaped without injury, but the wheel of the vehicle passed over both her daughter's legs. They were not broken, but covered with bruises ; and this morning she complains much of her side. The bone of her stays was broken by the wheel, and it was a miracle they were not killed. Remanded for a week. THAMES. FRAUDS BY SEAMEN.— Thomas Murray, and Joseph Clark, seamen, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with obtaining money and clothes to the amount of 121 by means of false pretences from Mr. Cunningham, an outfitter in the Batbing-road, near the Victoria-dock. The prisoners waited upon Mr. Cunningham and said t'ley belonged to the ship St. George, in the Victoria dock, and had 12 months' wages to receive when the ship was paid off. On these representations, and without making inquiry, he supplied each seaman with a new " rig out" and also advanced t hem money. It w afterwards ascertained that the prisoners bad no wages to receive and that they were shipwrecked and picked up at sea by the boats of the St. George, steamer, and a free passage was given them to England. r Mr. Coleman, clerk in the General Register and Record Office for seamen, said the S.

TILE NI - AV eiIANc'ELLoR, The Great Seal w:11 be placed by her Majesty in the hand s o f Sir Feth Thesiger. Both by the prefesi o n an d the publ:c this announcement will be hailed with the most lively satisfaction. Tin re have been many Members of the bar whose eleva tion to the loftiest, honours of the State has been more rapid than that of Sir Frederic ; but where shall we find one who throughout his career has been inure universally- and deservedly esteemed! Of unblemished integrity and conspicuous legal attainments, endowed with a rare and most per suasive eloquence, a noble and dignified demesnour, and a winning courtesy of manner and address, in the new Lord Chancellor are combined all thiase qualities best calculated to illustrate and ado rn th e high position which his Sovereign has called 'Ten him to fill. Nor is this the mere language o f adulation, or the eulogy of an enthusiastic partisan. It is a tribute which, apart from all political feel ings, we are proud io pay to merit—oaf friends .tribute justified by the unanimous consent, net or neutrals only, but even of rivals and antagonists. From all sections and ranks of his countrymen Sir Frederic has won golden opinions ; so much so, that when any high office has fallen vacant the universal cry hag been—" Surely Thesiger will be promoted now." To what, then, does be owe:this extraordinary' reputation, so firm and yet so widely spread? lila consistent and straightforward conduct as a tician is entitled to the greatest praise. His un swerving Conservatism has long been known, for will it ever be forgotten that both in the council and the field be has rendered signal services to the cause which he espoused. But if he thus soeur4 the reverential attachment of his own party, oils might have thought that by the same course he would have provoked the malice of those to whom, ho was opposed. Rare, indeed, is the spectacle of a combatant long practised in Parliamentary war fare, among the foremost ever in the van of battle, who emerges unscathed from the arena, with no marks either of the rancour cf the contest or the jealousy that awaits upon success. Yet throughout the strife in which he has been engaged, Sir Fre deric has preserved the admiration of his oppo nents, and even now, in the hour of his triumph, his escutcheon shines so fair that upon its unsullied surface not envy itself can detect a blemish. For this singular exemption from the usual fate of poli ticians he is no way indebted to fortune, but solely to himself. He is honoured by Englishmen /Jr cause to a fine intellect he unites in a remarkable degree those two moral faculties which they most readily appreciate and most heartily adore--in dustry and self-respect. His perseverance in the one is only equalled by his inflexibility in the other. And, therefore, we venture to predict that in his tory he will be numbered among the brightest of those legal luminaries, whom future ages will hold up to themselves as patterns for imitation and examples of pristine worth. Hereafter the name of Thesiger will become a watchword for high minded ambition • and the pa ren t, w h en di rec ti ng the energies of his child, will point to his noble caner. Like the great Lord Chancellor Erskine, Sir Frederic Thesiger began active life in the Royal navy, and would doubtless have distinguished him self as a salter had it not been for the sadden death of an elder brother, which entirely changed his career. Soon after this event, which occurred in the year 1811, young Thesiger, incompliance with his father's wishes, quitted the navy, and repaired to the island of St. Vincent, in the West Indics, whele his parent resided, and had an estate. Not long after his arrival he resolved to follow the law, and immediately began to attend the courts ; but in the subsequent year, for the be'ter prosecution of his studies, ho came to England, and was entered at Gray's Inn, which, however, he afterwards aban doned for the Inner Temple. The period whit h elapsed between the autumn of 1814 and Novem ber, 1818, when he was called to the bar, was occupied by Mr. Thesiger as a pupil—first in the chambers of that most eminent lawyer, the late Mr. .Tustice Holroyd, and upon his promotion to the bench in those of Godfrey •Sykes, a celebrated special pleader of the day. Upon being called to the bar Thesiger attended the Surrey Sessions, and went the Home Circuit, on which be quickly gained a considerable practice and was for several years the leader. In 1834 he obtained a silk gown, and ten years afterwards (in Ea s t er t erm, 1844) lit.a) made Solicitor-General, under the Administration of Sir Robert Peel, and in 1845, Attorney-General. Upon the dissolution of Sir Robert Peel's Govern• went, in 1846, he resigned his office, and was suc ceeded by Sir Thomas Wilde. Almost immediately after his resignation Sir Nicholas Tindal died, and Wilde, who had but just been appointed Attorney- General, steped into the vacant seat, which the desire and expectation of the public had previously regarded as the rightful prerogative of Sir Frederic Thesiger. Of Sir Frederic's subsequent but brief tenure of office under Lord Derby all the world is aware. At last, after long patience and many die. appointments, this great man has reaped a reward commensurate with his deserts. He has accepte d the dignity of Lord Chancellor. That he may hog retain it we hope for his own sake. That he will discharge its duties worthily we are well assured. Our experience of the past guarantees our future hopes. His extensive and varied practice, in the House of Lords, in the Privy Council, in all the courts of common law, and, in important matters, even of equity, together with his tried talent and diligence, mark him out as the fittest head of the great legal hierarchy. Under his guidance, too, we may expect that those comprehensive schemes of legal reform which have been so assiduously advo cated by Conservatives will be satisfactorily accom plished ; and that our dreams of a department of justice, so fondly yet till now so vainly cherished, will at length be realised.—Morning Herald.
