Mr. Erle and Mr. Barstow were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Crowder and Mr. Kinglake for the deindant. This was an action to recover damages for a libel, and for a malicious prosecution. The plaintiff was a. baker and cabinet-maker at Frome, in which town also the defendant was a tradesman. The defendant had inserted an article in the Hue and Cry, offering a reward for the apprehension of the plaintiff, alleging that he had committed an act of felony, and had ab sconded. The defendant also caused a warrant to be issued against the plaintiff for felony, and the plain tiff had, in consequence, given himself up to the police , officers. It was further alleged that the plaintiff had sustained special damage, in consequence of the acts of the defendant, inasmuch as he had been a con tractor for the supply of articles to the Poor-law Union, and it was necessary to have sureties for the due performance of the contracts ; but the plaintiff could not now obtain such sureties. Evidence was produced showing the libel, the war rant, and surrender of the plaintiff, his being taken before the Magistrates, who dismissed the complaint. And his former sureties swore, that in consequence of that libel and the warrant, they had declined again beComing sureties for him. Mr. Justice WrioirrsrAN left these questions for fhe consideration of the Jury—lst, whether the publica tion of the libel had been brought home to the de fendant; if they thought it had, then, 2d, whether they considered there was any malice ; and 3d, what damages they thought the plaintiff had sustained. The Jury found that the ,publication was proved, but tbat there was an absence of malice, and that the plaintiff had sustained damage to the amount of 40s. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, August 23. CIVIL SlDE—(Before Lord DENMAN.) SAMPSON V. BENTLEY. This was an action for assault and battery. Mt. Knowles and Mr. Cleasby conducted the case of the plaintiff, and Mr. Dundas the defence. It appeared that the defendant is a tinman at Hud dersfield, at which place the defendant, who is a gen tleman by profession, lives also. The defendant being a person of independent property, has (said the Learned Counsel) nothing to do but to amuse him self, though in the present instance he had extended his amusement beyond what the convenience of the plaintiff, or the law, could warrant. He was well acquainted with the plaintiff, and though there was a wide difference between their. respective stations in life, they were upon terms of familiarity and friend ship. On the ith of July last they were out fishing, and rain coming on drove both plaintiff and defendant, as well as several other persons, to a public-house called the Red Lion, at a place called Lockwood. More they remained some hours, and it seemed that some at least of the party, and the defendant amongst the number, got both merry and mellow. Somebody's legs were tied to the table, but singularly enough none of the witnesses knew whose legs. However from some cause or other, which nobody seemed to know, and which nobody would explain if they could, the de fendant suddenly fell upon the plaintiff and struck • him several violent blows. He was both younger and stouter than the defendant, and no resistance was made, nor was any very serious damage done. Mr. DUNDAS, for the defendant, contended that there was provocation, and though nobody would say whose legs were tied to the table, or who tied them, he thought the Jury would infer pretty accurately how the matter stood. He could not deny that an assault had been committed, and he admitted that the plaintiff must have a verdict ; the only question was, what damages they would give, and he submitted to them that a very small amount would fully satisfy the justice of a case which ought never to have been brought to this place, as it might have been settled at a small expense before a Magistrate. The Jury consulted together for a few minutes, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 101. THE ROYAL GEORGE YACHT. This beautiful model of a man-of-war vessel is undergoing a complete renovation, and a number of hands are employed, without intermission, to have her finished for the reception of her Majesty. Dr. Reid, the inventor, of the most approved mode of ventilation, was on board yesterday and to-day, personally super intending the laying atpipes for the free ventilation of the vessel. The Royal bed has been removed to Lon don' and a new one, expressly made for her Majesty, will be substituted. The interior of the state cabin is superb, beautifully carved in the more prominent parts, and richly gilt, having a most pleasing effect. It is lighted by five windows in the stern and two on each side of smaller dimensions, of the finest plate glass. Round the whole of the interior are placed ottomans and sofas, the latter convertible into beds, and by richly gilt rods, appearing at first as supports for picture-frames, curtains of the most graceful drapery are made to surround them. Near the stern windows is a beautiful brass stove of a most elegant pattern, in the form of a handsome covered vase, the smoke descending behind the grate, and finding egress at some distant part of the vessel. The recesses are neatly fitted with shelves for bookcases. The floor is covered with rich Brussels carpet of a very chaste pattern, and in the centre stands a splen didly-finished round mahogany table. The Revel bed-room is in keeping with the rich appearance of the state cabin, the floor covered with the same Brussels carpet, and very light and airy in its form, and in every respect adapted for the comfort of her Majesty during the voyage. It is entered from the right of the state cabin by a spacious door, in character with the dimensions of all the other partsthis of model of elegant ship-building. The dining-room is also very handsome, hut not so highly ornamented as the other cabin, and conveys an idea of the comforts which a small select party of Royal and noble guests could enjoy while gliding along on the surface of the seas that surround our beloved island. The panels of the doors of the State cabin are fitted with mirrors ; but her Majesty's excellent taste and judgment appears to dislike them, and they have been ordered to be covered, so that the privacy of the state cabin will 14 preserved, and not have every movement of the forms of the occupants presented to the eye in all quarters. The deck of the vessel is kept beautiful and clean, and being filed in the seams with a white yet permanently hard compo sition, will not soil the most delicate shoe. At pre sent, while the work of renovation is going on, the deck is covered with canvass. The binnacle compass is covered in in the form of a lantern, and surmouuted by a Royal crown. On the exterior of the stern is a beautifully carved Royal arms, richly gilt; and alto gether the Royal George yacht is a vessel of which we have reason to be proud ; and it is to be hoped her Majesty will be so delighted with her voyage as , to order this fine pleasure vessel to be kept at Woolwich for her Majesty's use.

" Four hundred men of the 27th Regiment have embarked for Natal, and they are to be reinforced from the frontiers, and I trust that this force, with the assistance of our men-of-war sailors, will soon put down all opposition. We have only 12 gunners left in Cape Town, inclading one sick, and our guns at Natal are chiefly manned by the infantry and drawn by oxen. It appears there are about 800 men at Natal capable of bearing arms, but it is not known whether they are united, and all determined to oppose our troops. Should that be the case, and they are driven out or exterminated, it will at the best be more than usually destructive, as they are excellent marks men, and their muskets and rifles range further than ours, being - much larger, and they take care always to be under cover if possible." holders. And first, we have to remark that the great majority of these bills are the subjects of claim (so far, at least, as forged instruments are capable of being so considered), that is, there are persons who claim to hold them either as their absolute property, or as securities for money advanced; but there are other bills which no persons now claim to hold, though some mention has been made of expenses in curred by the party in whose possession they were found, and of his intention to memorialise your Ma jesty's Treasury on that subject. We shall advert, in the first place, and principally, to the former class of bills, and shall trace each bill or set of bills (as the case may be) in a retrospective series, commencing with the claimant and ending with Rapallo • and shall at the same time state the circumstances under which each successive holder came to the possession—subject to exception, however, in the case of the earlier hold ers, viz., Rapallo, Wm. and James Morgan, Wm. Mariner, and F. T. De Berckem—the circumstances under which these several parties came to the posses sion of the bills which they respectively , negotiated having been already explained as far as the purpose now in view requires.

The evidence before us contains many additional part:culais with respect to the parties just mentioned, which deserve to be well considered, but which can not be properly appreciated without perusal of the examinations. There are, however, certain circum stances which occurred in the course of their trans- Boers, that the parties he sent out to cut wood and procure water, were accompanied by an armed escort. They were provided with provisions but for two or three days, though luckily these were supplied by the Pilot, which had boen sent round from the Cape for that purpose. e believed, from the tenor of the intelligence re ceived on this occasion, that—however disposed the Dutch might be to resist the re-establishment of British authority—and however readily they might embrace every opportunity to annoy the troops,—yet we . were not prepared fof the painful intelligence Claimants.—Messrs.

Mariner and De Berckem, some considerable time before the public discovery of the forgeries, to have bills placed in their hands respectively, by Rapallo, bearing a wrong rate of interest ; and Mr. W. Morgan admits that became aware (in his own case) et the fact, being informed of it some time after its occurrence by his clerk ; but states that he did not consider it as a circumstance of suspicion. In the case of Messrs. Mariner and De Berckem it also appears that the fact was communi cated to bath those parties ' but Mr. De Berckem's clerk (Mr. Mayo) who discovered it, had a strong conversation on the subject with other persons, the particulars of which are stated in.the evidence, and which may have had the effect, very naturally, of leading both the clerk and his employer to consider the cir cumstance as immaterial. As to Mr. Mariner, he states a conversation between himself and Rapallo on the subject; and that, in answer to his own observa tion, that it was " a very curious thing," Npallo re marked, that " they often made mistakes up at the office." He asserts, however, that he conceived no suspicion or dissatisfaction at the circumstance. On the other hand, it is alleged by •Rarallo, that Mr. Ma riner was " in a very great rage" on this occasion, and wanted to write to the Chancellor of the Exche quer to complain of it as an official irregularity, but that he was prevailed upon not to do so, by a repre sentation which Rapallo made him that he " might be deprived of the agency if there was any stir about it." The manner in which this statement is met by Mr. Mariner will appear in his examination, Q. 7,085- 7,098. • Series of Holders.—Bell and Steward, John Wm. Cook, Edward Lloyd Morgan, Harry Tomkins, F. T. De Berckem, Wm. Mariner, E. Rapallo. Alfred Bell and Samuel Steward, solicitors, in Lin coln'S Inn-fields, carrying on business under the firm of Bell and Steward, having occasion to lay out 3,000/. in Exchequer bills, gave an order for "that purpose, on the 21st of October, 1841, to Mr. John Wm. Cook, the agent whom they had for several years been in the habit of employing in such business. Mr. Cook was at this time clerk to Messrs. Wm. and James Morgan, but was allowed by them to do business on his own account with his own friends and connexions, and it was on such his private account that he was always employed by Messrs. Bell and Steward. Mr. Cook not being himself a member of the Stock Exchange, executed their order through Mr. E. L. Morgan, son of Mr. Wm. Morgan, Mr. E. L. .Morgan being a member of the Stock Ex change, and in the habit of transacting business there fox' the firm of Messrs. W. and J.

The particulars of the conflict, as far as we have been able to gather them, are these :—lt appears that the Boers had succeeded in capturing a number of oxen, which lad been turned out to graze. Captain Smith allowed them a certain time to restore them, and finding that they did not comply with his demand, resolved to attack their encampment by night. For this purpose he took about half his force, and two 6- pounders, and commenced his march about 11 o'clock at night. The encampment of the Boers is distant from the entrenchment of the troops about two miles in a westerly direction. The road, as it approaches the fortifications of the Dutch, has mangrove trees on one side, and the water on the other. It comprehends, in short, a portion of the bight of the Bay of Natal. The troops had proceeded without mishap to a place called Kangela, which is within some 600 yards from the Boers' camp, when on a sudden a murderous fire of musketry was opened upon them from behind the trees ; not an enemy was to be seen. The flashes were the only indication of the proximity of a foe. The troops returned the fire, and the engagement lasted about three quarters of an hour. Lieutenant Wyatt, a young artillery officer of much promise, was amongst the foremost who fell. He was shot through the head. Captain Lonsdale, of the 27th, was wounded in the arm and leg, though, we are happy to say, not dangerously ; also Lieutenant Tunnard, of the 27th. Of the oxen drawing the guns, some, we believe, were killed, and some run away; so that the field-pieces were obliged to be abandoned, and fell into the hands of the enemy. Capt. Smith then retired to his fortifications, and the Boers as we hear, under the impression that they had annihilated the whole of the troops, subsequently made an attack upon the British camp, when they were repulsed with the loss, it is supposed, of a consi derable number of their companions ; a quantity of horses and guns were afterwards found upon the spot, belonging to the slain. A Dane, it is said, betrayed the intentions of Capt. Smith to the Boers, and thus enabled them to waylay their opponents. The dispatch was brought from Capt. Smith to the Lieut.-Governor by Mr. R. King, who has been for twelve years a resident at Natal. He volunteered in the most handsome manner to perform this service, and was, we believe, the only individual at Natal who was willing to undertake the task. Mr. King accomplished the journey in ten days. Two horses carried him to the Umgazi, and the assistance of the missionaries en abled him to perform the remainder of the journey. We should mention that he acted •as guide to the troops in their meditated attack upon the Boers, and that a ball went through his hat, and his horse was shot Under him, during the murderous onslaught. He appears to have run some risk in coming hither. About twelve miles from Natal, he saw the spoor of . twelve horses, going in the direction of the colony, and on calling at one of his places afterwards, he was told by the natives there, who are in his service, that some Boers had been inquiring of them if any ng lishmen had been that way, and stating that they had killed all the English. • The Dutch schooner, of which mention has been made before, had left the bay, we hear, before the arrival of the troops. We are informed, that it has been stated in a recent English paper, that a num ber of discontented Batavian officers had determined to offer their services to the Natal Boers. The arrival of this vessel is thought to have been the means of strengthening the determination of the Boers to resist the troops. The Dutch encampment contained about 600 when the troops arrived, and a reinforcement of 200 has since been received. The Dutch emigrants are said, however, to be able to muster about 4,000 fighting men. Panda, we are informed, has sent to Captain Smith to offer his services, but they had not been ac cepted, though it is possible that this will now be the case. This chief perhaps can muster 10,000 warriors. The chiefs Faku and N'Capai, with their followers, will, we believe, be glad of an opportunity of falling upon the Dutch. Faku offered to escort Captain Smith to Natal, with a number of his followers, but the offer was declined. The Boers, it is said, since the arrival of the troops, held a meeting at Natal, in which the question of peace or war was debated, and only three of them were for yielding to British authority. A paper was sent round, by order of the Volksraad, to all the English residents at Natal, which they were required to sign, binding themselves to oppose the troops; not one of them, however, signed it. Mr. Archbell, the Wesleyan missionary, is on board one of the vessels in the bay, with his family, and most of the English resident at Natal, whither they have retired for safety. The Dutch treated the wounded kindly, dressed their wounds, and sent them back to Captain Smith. The bodies of the slain were washed and sent back. The dead body of a Boer, which had been found by the English, was of course delivered up to his comrades. There are, it is said, several deserters from the 72d in the Boer's camp. A man of the name of Joachim Prins, as we hear, has much in fluence in the Volksraad. He is described as an un principled and turbulent character. Pretorius, who is again at Natal, and who is believed to have led the attack upon the British, is represented as prudent in resolve, though determined in action. He is Commander-in-Chief. It is thought that the various clusters of Boers, who are located beyond the Orange River, will rush to Natal upon the receipt of the late disastrous intelligence. The Boers within the colony will naturally sympathise with their brethren at Natal, and it is feared that they will do more than sympathise. A person of the name of Bertram, holding some official post, has lately returned to the colony from beyond the Orange River, principally, it is said, on account of the hostile attitude to the Iritish Government, which his coun trymen were assuming. A despatch was sent to his Excellency overland, within three hours after the receipt of Captain Smith's communication. The bearer is Ensign Har vey, C.M.R., who expects to arrive in Cape Town in five days. Eighty men of the 27th Regiment left Graham's Town on Monday morning to proceed to Natal by sea, via Port Elizabeth. The officers who accompany them are Captain Durnford, Lieutenant Lewis, of the 27th, and Lieut. Turner, R. A. Major Selwyn had previously proceeded to Port Elizabeth to procure a ship to take the troops round. We hear that 12 more soldiers are to go from Algoa Bay, thus constituting a reinforcement of about 100 men. We omitted to mention that Mr. King heard some sharp firing, as he thought, of artillery, in the direc tion of Natal, after he had proceeded about 18 miles on the road to the colony. He also narrowly escaped, during his journey, being stabbed by a native, by whom he was mistaken for a Boer. We have also been informed that the Boers at tacked. the British entrenchment about two hours after the first attack. This assault continued during the space of an hour and a half, or thereabouts. Only two Hottentots were killed, and a young man named Nelson wounded. Mr. Benningfield, we understand, was among the English residents at Natal, who ad vanced to welcome the arrival of Captain Smith and the troops under his command. The Natal pennant is, we understand, a square red, white, and yellowflag. POET NATAL.—The following are the contents of a letter received this morning from the Cape of Good Hope, dated " ,Cape Town, June 15, 1842. " We have despatched two light 6-pounders and one 12-pounder howitzer, on board the frigate Sou thampton, .50 guns, flag-ship, lying in Simon's Bay, and a detachment of two non-commissioned officers, .Bombardier Dallas and Beattie, and six gunners, commanded by Lieut. Maclean, for Port Natal, where our troops (about 200 men, under Capt. Smith, 27th Regiment) have met with a severe repulse from the Dutch boera or farmers. THE PETHAM ESTATE, NEAR CANTERBURY. Comprising a spacious and handsome MODERN MANSION, de. lightfully placed amidst richly timbered park-like Grounds, skirted by beautiful Woods, forming fine Preserves for Game, with capi tal Farms and other Lands, Cottages, 84.; forming altogether a most desirable Residence, and a superior Landed Investment. MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON are commissioned by the Trustees for Sale to announce that the above very valuable and important ESTATE will be SOLD by AUCTION, at the Auction Mart, on TUESD►Y, Sept. 13, at Twelve, unless an acceptable offer shall be previously made by Private Con tract. - . . Mr. E. L. Morgan, in execution of the order from Mr. Cook, and on Mr. Cook's private account, pur chased the three bills in question on the 22d of Octo ber, 1841, in the market on the Stock Exchange, from Mr. Harry Tomkins, stockbroker and agent for shares, who received, as the consideration for such sale, the sum of 3,0521. 10s.—viz., 3,0001. for the bills, 361. for interest, and 161. 10s. for premium, at lls. per cent. ; all which charges were respectively correct (supposing the bills to be genuine), and ac cording to the current price of the day. Mr. Tomkins had received these bills on the same day from Mr. F. T. De Berckem, from whom he had been in the habit, since 7th December, 1840, of pro curing money on loan, secured by deposits of Ex chequer bills (or instruments purporting to be such), the nature of the dealing between these parties (which was according to the usual course of business) being as follows :—That Mr. Tomkins borrowed the money in his own name (without mention of Mr. De Berckem), depositing for that purpose the bills which he had previously received from Mr. De Berckein ; while on the other hand he charged Mr. De Berckem as on a loan from himself (Mr. Tompkins), secured by a de posit of the same bills, but with a difference of inte rest in his own favour at the rate of half per cent per annum. On the particular occasion now referred to Mr. Tompkins had received the bill in question from Mr. F. T. De Berckem (together with the documents purporting to be Exchequer bills), in order that they might be sole in the market to raise a sum of money required for the redemption of bills deposited with the Bank of England as security for a loan procured there in the course of the transactions that had taken place between him and Mr. De Berckem, as abpve stated. It comprises a capital and substantial modern Mansion, admirably planned, with every correspondent appendage for a good establish ment, surrounded by beautiful and well-wooded park-like grounds and superior fauns, in all about 770 acres, interspersed with fine preserves for game, and in a remarkably healthy, desirable, and good hunting country, between Canterbury and Ashford. The mansion is beautifully situate upon a remarkably healthy eminence, near the village and church of Pethant, amidst boldly undulated grounds and highly picturesque and cheerful scenery, surrounded by a neighbourhood of the highest respectability, with fox.hounds and every kind of sport at command. The woodlands are particularly ornamental, and afford delightful rides and walks of very great extent. Particulars, with lithographic plans, may be obtained by appli cation to Messrs. Curtels and Kingsford, Solicitors, Canterbury ; Mr. T. White Collard, Surveyor and Estate Agent, Canterbury; of Messrs. Fulljames and Castree, Solicitors, Gloucester; Messrs. Teesdale, Symes, and Weston, Solicitors, Fenchurch-street ; at the Auction Mart; and to Messrs. Daniel ,Smith and Son. Land Agents, in Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, and Windsor. Another circumstance which occurred in the course of the transactions of Messrs. Mariner and De Berckem was as follows :—Some of the bills re ceived from Mr. Mariner had been deposited by Mr. De Berckem with Messrs. Bennison and Lennard, as security for money advanced by the latter ; and on the expiration of the loan, in the latter end of 1840, or beginning of 1841, he received back (as was sup posed) the same bills he had left in deposit ; but after a short period, he discovered that eleven of them were different bills from those that had been de posited (though agreeing in dates and amount), the substitution having been made by mistake. Jpon this discovery he reclaimed the original bills from Messrs. Bennison and Lennard, but they were not in a condition to return them having in the meantime CIIEAP CLOTHING AT SWAINE AND CO.'S, TAILORS, No. 92, FLERT-STREET.

Mr. De Berckem upon this applied to Mr. Cutting, but found that he had negotiated them in his turn to a party by whom they had been sold. Mr De Berckem then conferred on the subject:with his brother, Henry De Berckem. (who occasionally as sisted him in his business), and expressed his anxiety to recover the bills ; and upon the sugges tion of the latter, that it was possible to trace them out, requested khim to do so, and promised to re munerate him for his trouble. Mr. H. De Berckem accordingly undertook the search, and with great dif ficulty succeeded ; and received from Mr. De Berckem for this service the sum of 501., which was charged in account to Mr. Mariner, and by him charged in turn to Rapallo. A further statement of these cir cumstances will be found at Q. §,.537, 2,762, 3,150, 5,821, 5,597, 5,831 ; the explanation given by De Berckem at Q. 5,788, 5,789. ; and that by Mariner, Q. 6,336. It may, perhaps, be material to remark, that at the time of the recovery of these bills the period for their exchange was close at hand, and that they had been actually advertised. • We may now pass from the manner in which the fraud was carried on to the circumstances which at tended its discovery. Qn. the 19th. October, 1841, Mr. De Berckem employed a person to borrow 10,0001. for him, on the deposit of Exchequer bills for three months, at 6 pe! cent. ; and this appeared so re markable in all its circumstances to a member of the Mr. Cook having received the bills so purchased, handed them over, on the same day, to Messrs. Bell and Steward, without informing them of whom the purchase was made, and charged them with the sum of 3,0541., being the same amount as paid to Mr. Tompkins, with the addition of 30s. due to Mr. Cook for his commission, which sum of 3,054/. was forth with paid to him by Messrs. Bell and Steward; and they remained in possession of the bills until the pub lic they of the fraud_ delivery. Address (pre-paid) to J. Ghagan and Co., No. 9, Charing eross. GAS METERS.

Stock Exchange, to whom application was made for the loan, and who had just lent money on a similar deposit at 4 per cent., that he conferred upon it with several parties, and after reflecting on the whole that had come to his knowledge, thought it right to enter into communication on the subject with the Chancel lor of the Exchequer. This led to further inquiry, and to the discovery that certain bills deposited by Mr. De Berckem on loan in 1839 (and of which the numbers had been preserved by the lender) were for geries. Under these circumstances, Mr. De Berckem was sent for by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and gave up some of the bills then in his hands ; and these being ascertained, by comparison with the counter foils, to be forged, Mr. Smith was, on the 25th Oc tober following, taken into custody.; from which pe riod it may consequently be considered that the exist ence of the fraud became fully known to the public. On the 29th of October following an official adver tisement was published, announcing that bills sent into the Exchequer would there be examined with their counterfoils, in order to ascertain their genuine ness. A lame portion of the forged bills were, in compliance with this notice, sent in, and examined, with the counterfoils. a t n )t d ho d rs eta w in e e r d e , k as ept n h o ao t h agr hy ee t i h n e g holders, under circum stances which appear in the correspondence set forth in various parts of the evidence.; but to this subject we do not feel it necessary to advert more particu larly, there being in our opinion (formed upon ma ture consideration of the evidence) no reason for im puting any improper motive to these parties, how ever questionable their course may have been in the point of discretion. Other portions of the forged bills had, prior to the notice in the Gazette, but after the fraud had in some measure become public, been carried in to the Bank of England to b e funded, there happe n ing to be at that tim? a funding - of Exchequer bills in operation ; and it appears that almost the whole of the forged hills so dealt with were sent in by persons who, by that time, had had reason to entertain doubts of their genuineness, having regard to the quarter from whence they came. This carries with it, on the first impres ;ion, an unfavourable aspect; but, after taking much pains to probe the matter , We are fully con inced, upon the evidence, that the parties taking this course were conscious of no impropriety in the pro ceeding. There was no other mode, the documents to Your Majesty's Government for until the next exchange, in March, of tendering payment; and they such circumstances, to avai l themselves of conceived themselves to have a right, under the opportunity of making the tender in that way. As to the result of the experiment, it varied according to the period of time at which the bill was brought into the Bank. In the after noon of the 27th of October, a letter had been re the Chancellor that mor e th an co mmon ocefitzlEbxyothhoeciDoeerr suggesting from vigilance quer bills should that mightb e eg'ard to any Exche quer withprese presented ; and, in compli ance with this intimation, all bills brought in after to the Exchequer i of funding, with respect to the forged bills, was t fo h r e i 2 o 7 s t p h eo w ti e o r n e , d so eta t i h n a ed t t a h n e d o s pe eu ra t ti up on n every case ultimately suspended. But from the 23d to the 27th inclusive, such forged bills as were presented were actually re ceived by the Bank, and converted into stock in the usual course ; and being afterwards sent up to the Paymaster's-office (as the law requires), were there also accepted as genuine, the B a nk receiving from tho , usually given in such cases. stock was thus pay masters yery instance, s t t a h n e o dischargehowev however, r, in which obtained, a letter has been since sent by the Bank of England to the party whO funded the bill, apprising him that it would not be received in payment of his subscription.

CASE IL Nos. 7,065, 8,284, 8,388-8,400 (15 Bills.) Claimant—Major James Anderson. Series of Holders—James Anderson, Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, E. Rapallo. James Anderson, Esq., Magistrate for Essex and Middlesex, and Major in the East Essex Regiment of Militia, happening to meet Mr. J. W. Cook (re ferred to in Case I.), with whom he was personally acquainted, was informed by him that if he (Major Anderson) had money unemployed, it might be lent for him, on the security of Exchequer bills, at 41 per cent., for a period of six months. Major Anderson, having at that time 15,000/. lying in a bank in Scotland, at the interest of 4 per cent. only, deter mined to avail himself of this suggestion. On the 10th of April, 1841, he accordingly handed over 15,000/. to Mr. Cook, receiving from him at the same time fifteen instruments, purporting to be Ex uer bills for 1,000/. each, and also receiving from him the following note of the transaction :—" Lent for Major James Anderson the SUM of 15,0001., on the security of 15,000!. Exchequer bills, at 41 per cent., till 10th October, 1841.—J. W, Cook, Pope's Head-alley, 10th Apr], 1841." The bills so delivered by Mr. Cook had been obtained by him from Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, to whom he paid over the 15,0001., they thus becoming the principals in the transaction, and Mr. Cook, in effect, their agent only. But Major Anderson was not aware, until the discovery of the fraud, from whom these or any other of the bills hereafter mentioned had been obtained by Mr. Cook, or who was the borrower of the money thereon ad- vanced. A few days afterwards, Major Anderson having occasion for money, and not supposing it necessary to return the identical instruments deposited, gave an order to Messrs. C. and H. M`Rae, his brokers (without consulting Mr. Cook on the subject), to sell No. 8,248, one of the bills now in question, which they accordingly did on the 15th of April following, and handed him the proceeds, consisting of 5031. 195., and an Exchequer bill for 5001. The purchasers from Messrs. C. and H. APRae were Messrs. Cooper and Co., who afterwards sold the bill to Messrs. Knight and Co., who sold it to Messrs. C. and T. Brown, who sold it to Messrs. Cole and Mullins, in whose hands it remained at the time of the public discovery of the forgeries, when it was found not to coincide with the counterfoil. Upon this Messrs. Cole and Mullins, and, after them, each of the pur chasers above named, in succession, demanded and obtained from their immediate venders a return of the purchase money paid, with such interest as would have been due on the bill supposing it to have been genuine. And the sum which Messrs. C. and H. APltae, as the first vendors, were thus obliged to pay (amounting to 1,0511. Bs. 3d.) they • have since received from Major Anderson, who consequently be comes claimant on the bill. On the 27th of May, 1841, Major Anderson pro posed to Mr. Cook to give up to him one of the re, maining numbers for an Exchequer Bill for the amount of 5001., and 5001. in money, which transaction accordingly took place. On the 7th June, 1841 (the time for the June ex change of Exchequer bills having arrived), Major Anderson received from Mr. Cook, in exchange for the thirtec'n bills, which he had still in his possession, Nos. 8,388-8,400 (part of the bills now in ques tion), which numbers had been obtained by Mr. Cook, as clerk of Messrs. IV. and J. Morgan, 'from Rapallo, and these bills remained in the hands of Major. Anderson, until the public discovery of the .• fraud. On the 16th of September, 1841, Major Anderson inquired of Mr. Cook whether the party who had borrowed the money was willing to continue the loan on the same terms, and the answer being in the affir mative, the loan was accordingly, on the 21st of Sep tember, 1841, renewed until 10th April, 1842, at the same rate of 41 per cent. On the 10th of October following a sum of money being due to Major Anderson for interest on the loan, he provided Mr. Cook with money to the amount of the difference between that sum and 1,000/., and re quested him to lend out the latter amount for him (Major Anderson) upon the same terms as before. Mr. Cook, in execution of this order, handed over the money on the 12th and 16th October, 1841, before the public discovery of the fraud, to Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, and about the 28th of October following (being after the public discovery of the fraud), made au entry in his books, by consent of Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, appropriating to the account of Major Ander son the remaining bill now in question, viz.,No. 7,065, which at the time of such appropriation had been 45 1 E SO !I 1E k Bir vinti hsr 3 _,' ...o° 4 9 0 11 l 2 36 E 45 45 11 311 • 0 ND Jter V. 10 : o 0 a la a , 9, Ts 0 d. • 0 0 0 C 0 0 0 4 1 • j 55 15 1 9-7 ~' '~
