Mr. `JUStice PARK...The sixth division, what does that mean don't understand it? IVitness—'l4he office business is divided into different de; partments. I have the Bank book in which the transfer of Consols is entered. By referring to the day in question, , the, lst of June, 1816, '1 found an entry of Consols in the name of Miss Frances Young, of Chicester. On that day, Miss Young had the sum of 6,460/. 3 per cent. Consolidated Annuities standing in her name. I have seen the book in which trans.: fern of stock are entered. I hold it in my hand. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL —Before you look at the trans fer book, say if the amount of stock transferred, entered hi that book, is signed by the person transferring it ? It is always signed by the person making the transfer. The AT TORSIEY-OEI.III,ItAL—Now, Sir, see if there Is an entry in the book of the transfer of 6, 4601 Stock froth Miss Young to Flower, .stock-broker, on the lit of June, 1815, and if it is signed, and by whom P Witness—.l find an entry of 5,460/: Stock, transferred fl•om the name of Frances Young, to Flifwer, Gentleman, Stock.broker., I find the name of Henry Fauntkeoy, as At . torney of Frances Young, spinster of Chichester. Tile date " the Ist ofJtme," and the signature, " H. Fauntleroy," are the proper hand.witing of the prisoner, and were written by him in •my presence. Illy name, as the attesting witness,* written in the margin. The name of the broker appears also to the transfer thus " William Flower, Stock Exchange." Mr. A LVEY—You swear you saw the prisoner write the de: mand.and'sign it ?—Witness Yes I do. The Counsel for the Prosecution proposed to call evidenc e t o shew that the think had replaced the stock of which MlssYoun had been defrauded by the prisoner's forging the warrant of attorney; it !ming absolutely necessary to shew that she had no. interest in the prisoner's conviction before she could be al lowed to prove that her signature to the warrant of attorney was a forgery.

To obviate any inconvenience which might possibly arise from such an occurrence, the Sheriffs, Messrs. Aldermen Browne and Kaye, gave directions that no persons should be admitted into the body. of the Court who were not provided with tickets signed by themselves, or into the students' box who were not provided with certificates from the Inns of Court, stating them to be members of one of those societies. The galleries of the Court, which are the property of' certain of fi cers of the Corporation, were open to all persons who bade high enough for admission, and we were informed that a sovereign was demanded, and paid for it in several instances. Such of the Reporters as were not students at law were accommodated with seats near the Jury-box and were admitted into them by special tickets. The tickets issued to the immediate friends of the Sheriffs were very limited ; and several persons of rank, who were anxious to obtain access to the Court, were disap pointed in their efforts to procure them. It was announced that the doors of the Court would lie open at eight o'clock in the morning; and individuals fttrnWsed with tickets and certificates were desired to be in attendance at that hour. Before seven o'clock a crowd began to assemble about the doors ; but it did not consist of more than 30 or 40 persons, of whom no small number were jurYinen. At eight o clock the doors were opened ; the students' box and the place set apart for the reporters were immediately occupied. The galleries, however, were for . some time unoccupied; and after the first rush into court bad ceased, the avenues about it were not crowded more than is usual at each day daring the continu ance of the sessions. Among the spectators in court were Lord Montfort!, Lord Nugent, ana the Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank of England. There,was also more than an usual number of Aldermen, in the Bench. The bon] Mayor was in court at the commencement of the trial, bitt left it shortly after its corn. mencement to attend to his official duties elsewhere. Mr. es-Sheriff Parkins was also in court at an early hOur. He endeavoured to seat lihnself at the barristers' table, but was very unceremoniously ejected by one of the Sherifils' attend. ants. lie then removed himself into the thick ; but having a natural horror of the situation, retired from it, and we believe left the court altogether. At nine o'clock, Mr. Serjeant AnAntx took his seat on the bench, and the Court was oyened in the usual form. The Middlesex Jury then took their seats in the jury box, and seve ral prisoners, charged with minor offences, were put to the bar, to plead, and afterwards took their trial. The London Jury re mained in the boit set apart for the jurors in waiting. At ten o'clock, Mr. Justice' PARK took their seats on the bench, accompanied by the Lord Mayor. The Attorney-General entered the Court at the same time, and took his seat at the table; next Mr. , the Bank Soli citor. - , Proclamation of silence waathen made, and at five minutes OM ten o'clock, Mr. Henry , Friunderoy . was conducted to the bar, between the two City Marshals, and the head turnkey of Newgate. He was dressed in a full suit of black, and his firm. nest seemed to desert him at the moment he was exposed at the bar to the gaze of the Court. His step was tremulous; his face Mle, and much thinner than when he was at first examined at arlborough-street; his , gray hair had rather a lighter hue, as if from the mixture of a little powder. He never tbr one moment raised his head, but placing his hands upon the front of the dock, stood with dejected mien while the preliminary forms of the trial were arranging. Mr. Banner accompanied him into court, but left bins ns soon as he was placed at the bar, and took his seat at the barristers' table. The Deputy Clerk of Arraigns then opened the business in ,the usual forms. The prisoner was arraigned upon seven several indictments for forgery, to allot which he pleaded " lit guilty," and de. sired to be tried by God and his country. : he first indictment stated, that on the Ist of June, 1815, at'. t. Marylebone, the prisoner feloniously forged and. counterfeited, and caused and procured to be forged and counterfeited, and willingly aided and assisted In the forgery and 'coOnterfeiting, a certain deed, bearing the name and teal of Frances Young, with intent to defraud the Dank of England ; the second count charged him with uttering, and the third with 'disposing of the same deed,. knowing it to be forged ; three other similar counts charged the intent to be, to defraud Frances Young; and three others to defraud William Flower. Here followed account, charging that the prisoner forged, &c., a certain letter of attorney for the transfer of the share of Frances Young in a certain stock audio. rized to be raised by certain Acts of Parliament, stating that the share therein amounted to 5,4501. ; and there was one other count of the same nature, only setting out the Acts at length. The second indictment was of the sense nature, and of the same date, with the tame.intent, hut for the tranifer of the sum of 6,000/. The third indictment was for forging a letter of attorney to s pE e ll ll r i o i, r o ot tle fi i , s to t x oc fob ic, red,a den Ir eland, commit t edsindontaiiitleldteinsitce6antli intent be i ng o b f eby D ng ec Tt e ho m oda tic asfra r, ul, l (iis li te 2 th O re: Bank of England, then Thomas Lister and Henry Lee, each and all of them. The fourth indictment was for forging a similar deed for the transfer of 3,000/. stock, with intent to defraud, first the Bank of England, Thomas Lister, and Jacob Clements, each and a ll of them. The fifth indictment war for forging, on the 30th of Jun* ' in the 4th year of the present Ki ng (1824), a similar deed for the transfer of 4041. stock, with intent to defraud the Bank of Eng land, John Griffiths, and Gilbert Currington, each and all of them. _ ---- The sixth indictinent wait for forging, on the same deed, on the same parties, a letter of attorney for the transfer of 500/. stock. The seventh charged, that on the 2d of November, 1823, the prisoner forged, &c. a deed, bearing the names of Henry - Fauntleroy, J. P. Hume, and (3. Goodehild annexed, charging the intent in different counts, to he to defraud the Bank, ..1. P. Hume, and 0. ooodchild, Jacob Downes, Ii» HankeY, and W. It. Hankey, of the sum of 5,3001. stock. After the fourth indictment had been read short to the pri soner, Mr. GURNEY rose and applied to the Court for permission to have the prisoner accommodated with a chair et the bar. , Mr. Justice PARK—The application is of course made on the ground of the prisoner's indisposition ? Mr. GunNEY—Certainly, my Lord. Mr. Justice PARK—Oh then, let him have a chair. A chair was immediately handed to the prisoner, who sat upon it at the right.hand corner of the dock, leaning his head upon his hand, and covering the greater part of hii face with a white handkerchief, his whole demeanour being at this time that of a person labouring under deep despondency. After the pleas had been. recorded, Mr. Justice PARK In. formed the Middlesex Jury, who sat in the box, that they must remove to make way for the London Jury. The Jury . accordingly withdrew. Mr. Justice PARK then intimated to the Sheriffs, that it would be requisite to have two full London Juries in Court, aa, from the number of indictments, the prisoner might be tried upon more than one of them. He had also a right to make his challenges; and it was therefore necessary to have a full. complement of jurymen in Court. Besides , it might not be right that the same Jury should try him upon 1 the in dictments. Some inquiry was then made as to the time during which it might be necessary for the Jurors to remain in waiting. Mr. Justice PAux—l cannot pretend to say. Ido not know whether a second jury may be wanted or not. Ido not know how many of these indictments will be tried, or what time any one of them may take up. I know nothing of these cues save what I have heard from the gentleman at the table, and what I have learnt from the depositions which have been sent to muu Judge, and which I have of course perused. I merely throw out the hint that a second jury may be necessary, without say. ing at all whether it is.probable or not that their attendance will lie required.—A jury was then elnpannellel The Deputy Clerk of the Arraigns then read to the Jury the first indictment. It charged the prisoner with forging and with uttering and publishing as true, and with disposing of and p putting away;* power of attorney for the transfer and sale of 5,000/. 3 per cent. Consolidated Annuities from the account of Miss Frances Young.. The first count charged the prisoner with forging a certain deed, the tenor of which was set out, with intent to defraud the Governor and etirnpany . of the Bank of England. The second count charged the prisoner with utter ing and publishing as true the said with he likeintention. The third charged the prisoner with disposing of and putting away the said deed with the like intention. The 4th, Bth, and 6th counts were similar in rutin, charging the prisoner with forg ing, uttering, and publishing as true, and disposing of and put ting away a deed, setting out the power of attorney, with in ten tion to defraud the said Frances Young. The 7th, 11th, and 9th counts were similar in form, only charging tiv felony to have been committed by the prisoner with intentio'n to defraud one Wm. Flower. The 10th count charged the prisoner with forging a certain letter of attorney to sell, assign, and transfer, all or any part of 3,0001., being part of the interest or share of one Frances Young of Chichester, spinster, of and in certain transferable unnulties established by certain ACts of Parliament therein recited. The 11th count charged the prisoner with demanding and endeavouring to transfer the stock of Miss Young under the power. On concluding it, the Deputy Clerk of the Arraigns told the Jury that the prisoner had pleaded " Not Guilty," and that they were empannelled to inquire whether he was so or not.-11.1r. Law opened the pleadings. The ATTORNEY-OEIIEIUL then rose and stated the case for the prosecution as tollows :—." May it please you, my Lord and Gentlemen of the Jury—You have heard, during the read ing of this indictment, that the prisoner at the bar stands atrny chargedwewid transfer fraudulently of forging e for ord e of England in the name of Miss Frances Young. It is my tai a n n s d to u ck tte , ring a entered certai n in tit ela n of k power duty, on the part of the prosecution, to state to you the cir cumstances out of which, according to my instructions, the pre. sent prosecution has sprung ; and afterwards to lay before you the evidence which I have toptfer in support of this indictment. In discharging the painful duty which has thus devolved upon me, I ant bound to confine myself implicitly and strictly to a statement of facts. This is a criminal charge, and, in such a one, I am more especially called upon, when the life of a pri. soner is involved in the result, and where his Counsel are pre. eluded by the rule of law from replying to any general state ment of Counsel for the prosecution. I am, I say, in such a case more peculiarly called upon to abstain front any (diet cal. culated to excite your feelings, or from • giving any un d ue co .. louring to the facts. If, therefore, I were in the slightest degreeX to aggravate the facts, which, aecolding to my instructions, you will have in the regular course of the trial before you, I should notonly not do my duty in the manner in which it ought to be done, but travel beyond that line which is decorous and proper on so painful an occasion. Navin made according to my judg. made these preliminary ob. servattons upon the manner in wh ich, anent, ant bound to perform my dUty, it will scarcely be ne anent, emery for me to put you, Gentlemen of the Jury, on your guard against any inferences disadvantageous to the prisoner, which you may have f orme d f rom c i rcumstances w hich reached your knowledge before you assembled in that box. The pri. :toner at the bar is entitled to your judgment and decision, not on any information, suspicion, or surmise, or impression, which may have affected your minds, by any thing represented to have occurred out of doors betbre this day ; for these, if you have formed any, you must endeavour, as much as possible, to dismiss from. your recollection ; the prisoner at the bar being strictly entitled to your judgment and decision; -not, I repeat, upon this previous ly ecquired information respecting his case, but upon the evidence offered before you this arty, in the pro. gress of the triel, and on that alone. I must also beg leave to remind you, that you are equally called upon to dismiss front your minds the recent recollections, which you must have from the forms nfthis day's Preeeedinsse, that there are other indict. menta found against the Prieuneee upon which he mantle tom. mined for trial, and that you are to look upon the present in. ( e l • j e c r t e m t en h e t o as n ly i on r one t ier e c r ie v l i t t ai t l . ne on Pi s nris m sll2 a nat y ered b w e °a i: si n ee n :a ec ialli es d u tel7 4, entl b ro u a t ans e s t wi i f l e l I t. I know that these h. feel it my duty to give you this precautionary admonition. The - prisoner at the bar, Gentlemen, was well k nown as a partner in the bankin houie of itl ars h, Sibbald, and Co. of Benter's. street, whic h was established• ab out thirty years ago. his father was a partner in th e original firm- - lie had previously been an acute clerk in a banking-house in the City, and the Partners who established the Finn not being equally men of business themielves, s ave hi m a share to avail themselves of his practi cal information in the management of their affairs. The elder Mr. Fauntleroy died in the year 1807, and his situation was immediately occupied b y hi s sou, the prisoner at the bar, upon whom, - alsO, f or hi s practical knowledge of business, and the comparative superiority which lie had in this respect over his copartners, nearly the whole of the actual business devolved.' In the year 1815, MIAs Francei Young, of Chi chester, became a customer to the firm, and had then entered in liar name at the bank a sum of 5,4301. in what were called the 3 per Cent. Coevals. She gave the firm of Marsh and Co. a power of attorney to receive the dividends in her name, but gave them no power whatever to sell or otherwise dispose of the principal. In May 4 1813, however, an applieit tion was made at the Bank, and represented as having been so made in behalf of this lady, to sell by her Power of Attorney 3,0001. of this Stock. You are probably aware of the forms prescribed by the Bank of England in transacting the business of these transfers. The applicant goes to the Bank, and ob tains a slip of paper, which he fills up with the name of the party in whose behalf lie applies, he describes the stock in the Bank the amount and particulars required to be tr ans f erre d, and t he name and address of the person to whom the transfer is to be made. Upon receiving these Instructions in the form inserted upon the slip of paper, the Bank clerk, to whom it is delivered, hands over a power of attorney, which is to be trans. mined to the person who is to make the transfer, for the eur. Poe. of receiving the requisite signature. It is customary at the Rank to preserve these slips of paper, but in this instance the Particular slip has been lost, and it cannot therefore be said to whom it was delivered, it being usual to endorse the name of the Party on thellip. But die power of attorney, which was prepared et:en/din to the slip so made is referred, with the ne cessary at of the witnesses. There must be to these powers of attorn e y two attesting witnesses, with the description. of their respective names anti addresses. This power of attor ney, purported' to be signed by Frances Young, and that signa ture would be proved to be a forgery. The attesting witnesses were John Watson 'and James Tyson, clerks in the Bank of Marsh and Co., and their signatures were also forgeries—for they never transacted any business with Miss Frances Young, and never executed any transfer of stock for her. In all these documents it is required by the Bank, that the date shall be set forth in words at length. This is so done in this forged trans. fer, and it will be proved to be in the hand.writing of the pri. stoner at the bar, 'null its parts. it must be vite clear, there fore, that the forgery has been committed either by the pri soner, or with his knowledge. The attesting witnesses are his clerks, men whose handewriting must have been known to him, and a forgery of which he must at onee have detected, it b roug h t to him by a third.party. The practice at th e B an k of England was, that, when these transfers, after bein g d u l y filled,' were theee ecuateerdk f , they the purpose rn ustldeposited for tw enty -f our hours with of being compared with the books; and for such other Inspection and precaution as were deemed ne cessary on these occasions for the security of prop erty , so far as time and circumstances allowed. After all these preliminary steps, the applicant was further called upon before the instru ment was completed, to write at the bottom these wor d, F ..... I demand this DOWer'to be executed in my Ilarrle," aler t ed by the party. on aioeist of Slay, or the lit of Juno, the prisoner at the bar attended in person et the Bank, and demanded in due form, the execution of the said power of attorney. So that here you will have before you a power of attorney prepared in the priermer's hand-writing, purporting to be executed by Frances Young, purporting to be attested by tw o o f his cler k s, with Whose I repeat, he must h ave b ees n e ces sarily, acquainted; and he, himself presentin g t h e i ns t r ument, and demanding that ft he executed in the usual manner. But suf ficient us title would be to prove the case, it is not all, for I am about to state to you, that we have besides a d ocu ment, of a character so extraordinary. In singularly complete in all its parts, as to leave no possible doubt, that the prisoner at the bar was the party who had committed the offence. When the pri• toner was taken into custody in his ow» cotanting.house, he, in the presence of the 'officer, locked his privatedk, with a key which was then attached to his watch-..that key was afterwards, . taken front hits, by the officer; awed when the reapectitbk boll' citor for the Bank, who conducts this prosecution, went to search the house in Berners-street for the prisoner's papers, to ascertain whatever particulars he could therein find respecting these transactions, he found in one of the rooms of Messrs. Marsh's bank, in which tin cases, containing title deeds of the customers, were deposited, and on which the names of I the owners were inscribed, one tin box without a name. This led him to examine it. The key was found in the' prisoner's private desk, which he had himself locked in the presence of the officer, and on opening this box was found a number of private papers belonging to the prisoner, and among theta the extraordinary document of which I have apprised you, and which ran thus, all in the hand-writing of the .prisoner Consols, 11,1511., standing in the name of my trusteeship ; 5,000/. E. W. Young ; 6,0001. Consols, General I oung ; 5,0001. lAnrig Annuities. Frances Young; another 0,000/. ; Lady Nel ion, 11,5951. ; Mrs. Ferrer, 20,0001. 4 per Cents. ; l.arl of Os sory, 7,000/. ; T. Owen, 9.4001. ; J. W. Parkins, 4,000/. ; Lord Aboyne, 6,0001. ; P. Moore and John Marsh, 21,0001." This paper contained a total of sums considerably exceeding 100,0001. was all written in the prisoner's hand-writing, and these words, in the same hand, followed, and concluded the fact of the pri soner's guilt.—" In order to keep up the credit of our house, I have forged powers of attorney; and have thereupon sold out all these sums, without the knowledge of any of my partners. I have given credit in the accounts for the interest when it be. came due." May 7th, 1810. Signed Henry Faunderoyer- These words followed ; —" The Bank began first to refuse our acceptances, and thereby to destroy the credit of our house, they shall therefore smart for it." This is the extraordinary document to which I allude, and was there ever a record of a fraud more intelligible, and yet more negligently kept? There is no doubt, I think, that when the prisoner at the bar drew up this singular and conclusive document, that he contemplated some intention for which it was applicable, perhaps to abscond, and protect his partners from any suspicion of participation in his acts. Be the intention, however, what it may if to abscond it was clear the prisone r h a d subsequently altered his intention, anti at all events, nothing but unaccountable negligence could have prevented him from a f terwar d s d estroy i ng a document of such a nature, and so fatal to hitcharacter. The Bank of Eng land, in consequence of this information, proceeded to examine the private accounts, kipt by the prisoner with his firm, and they were found that the accounts of the parties whose monies were fraudulently transferred were regularly kept 'up, and the interest upon the dividends as regularly carried to them every half year, as if the original stock rema i n ed i n b e i ng . I n th e particular case before you, the Broker (Mr. Sperling) employed by the prisoner at the bar sold out the stock in question to the amount of 2,9501.25. M., that is, exclusive of the commission for the sale, which, according to practice, the Broker divided with the firm. This amount was paid over' by the Broker to the banking-house of Messrs. Marten and Co., who transacted business for Messrs. Marsh and Co. in the city, and is regu larly noted in the day-book of the latter, by a clerk, by whom 'the entry was made at the dictation of the prisoner. But, in further management of the accounts, in passing frem the day book to the private ledger, this sum appeared to have been carried to Sir. Fauntleroy's private account:. The general pro. duce was, however, afterwards posted, so as tolteep up the ac counts according to the original amount entrusted to the bank by the respecove customers. You will, Gentlemen of the Jury, naturally ask yourselves, as this occurred so far back as the year 1815, how it happened th a t during the succes sive years which have intervened, the dividends could have been so managed by the prisoner in his accounts, es to escape the detection of his partners ? The fact however, was, that the prisoner hail the entire menagement.for the firm of their stock-market business. When the dividends became payable, it was the practice to make out n list, flit one of the partners to go to the Bank of England and receive payment. . These lists were always prepared by the prisoner himself, and he always continued so to manage the entry in the books as to correspond with the nominal amount of Stock intrusted to the firm by their customers. The list was of course so made out as ' to make every thing appear entered in thamanner the entries would have stood had the stock still existed, and. sums were always carried on to the accounts, so as to keep up the delusion. It used to be the custom for Mr. Marsh,to go to the Bank and receive the dividends for the firm; he lived in the country, and only came to town to perform this part of the business ; he was, therefore, its to all the other parts of the arrangements entirely ignorant, and Incapable of detecting the, fraud. There is ano ther fact which I think it my duty to explain to yoga ; the note of the broker for the sale of this particular stock: which Mr. Fauntleroy ought, were the transaction a Weird/de one, to have transmitted to the owner, was found amongst4ifitivlier papers in the private tin box, which contained the ettradinary diva mein I have already read to you. These, .oiMlemen, are . the whole of the fleas, whi c h I un d ertake to establish. by evidence before you, against the prisoner at the bar. I shall' first prove the forgery, by producing the instilment, anti proving, by the parties whose names are said to be affixed to it, that the signa. tures are not theirs. I shall next prove, that the hand -writing in the body of the instrument is that of the prisoner himself.-- I shall then, by the production of the extraordinary document to which I have alluded, - prove that he recorded the act as his, and from the accounts it will he clear that they were so conti nued by him, with great activity and caution , as to evade the detection of the forgeries, which he alone could have commit , ted. Having stated - these facts, I have discharged my duty in . behalf of the prosecution, and it would ill become me to pro . nounee any opinion upon the effect of such facts. That is your province, 'Gentlemen of the Jury; afteryou have beard the whole details of th e evidence. Having said that I have new discharged my duty, I sin persuaded, Gent l emen , y o u will also discharge yours, painful as it may be, be t ween the prisoner , and his country with an equal and impartial band. The LearnedGentlernan then proceeded to call the several ; witnesses. - _ J.

The witness commenced reading the preamble of the order, stating, " that whereas certain stock, to the amount of 5,5501. 3 per Cent.

Had not the stock, which it Is alleged she has been defrauded of, been replaced, she would have an interest in proving that her signature to the power of attorney was forged; but the stock being replac ed in her name, she has no interest whatever in the con. viction. Mr. GuRNEY here rose, anti said that he still had an objec tion to tintke to the evidence of that lady. lie did not deny that proof had been given of the Bank having replaced ~thV stock, but no evidence had yet been giveu that Miss Young had received the dividends from 11115 to the present time ; , and till that fact were proved, he contended that she was an in, competent witness; because it was her interest to prove the forgery, that she might be enabled to recover her dividends of the Hank.
