THE HEREFORD OLD BANK DarezurzoNs.
Rbbert Wiltoh reyer, late chief clerk in the
Hereford Old Bask, we. brought up in onstody'at the
Oar ldball, Hereferd, on Hato:day, for further examination.
As aithe previous hearing he we. conveyed from the city
prima in a fly and escorted into the court by the 'wean.
tendeot of raise. Be was allowed •MA in the dock, and
concealed h face daring the whole of the investigation.
Mr. Bull (of the firm of Jay and Bull) coodnetal the NUS-
cation, and Mr. Owning Janiesdefended the prisoner. The
charge sow entered upon was that of stealing, la the
mouths of January and February, 1857, the sum of 1,2004
the money or his employers, Messrs. Morgan and Adams.
Mr. George Thom.., farmer, of Own Pion, wee the first
Miami called If, deposed that in .4:nary and February,
1.867, he kept an account with Mews. Meagan and Adams,
at the Old Bank, and that, to the best of his knowledge, his
pambook (produced) contained a correct amount of hie
traauctions with the bank. The following dates nod items
were pun :—January 3, 1867, 2001. ; 7th, 2601. ; 14th,
3001. ; 17th, 25W. ; 21st, 1501.; 28th, 1001. ; February 18,
2501. ; and the witness said that be did sot receive any of
Wee sums from the bank. He could speak positively
without reference to his pass-book, because he was not
near the bank cm those dates. Be knew very well what
mew he had in the bank, and be sever drew any out
without replacing it in a fortnight or so. Be had had two
mar of 1001. each, but that was not in 1857. Re never
drew a num of 3001., 2501., or 2001. out of the bank.
Mr. Francis Hanip Adams proved that the supplemental
waste-book, which had bizirlajbtaty the prisoner, contained
entries of the payments to have been made to
Mr. Thom, before before given ; from the wastmbook
they had been copied into the day book, which was the
ordinary course of business, and were there represented as
basin been entered at argils folios of the ledgers, but
were not entered at the folks indkated.

By Mr. Jame—The primer was esdelant cashier on I
market days. Mr. Morgan was the cashier of the bank.
The several Bute are need, and the balances altered
in the handwriting of Mr. Morgan. The "'ottani-book "
was produced, and Mr. Adams maid that the entry
of the 17th January was partly is the prisoner's and
partly in Mr. Megan's handwriting ; that of the 21st,
to the prisonee's handwriting, with two
altered by Mr. Morgan ; all the other eatriditZ u
weeds and figures, were in the primer's handwriting.
From the mike and alterations toads in Mr. Mapes
henderitiag, on and about the dates specified, it is clear
that this book wee under his constant notice and
I koow this also as a fact of my own know-
-7.Z. Bird, of the lea of Gateau, Torqued, and
p~armg
eerythentents,balanLoodoe, who has been engaged in
heet of Mews. X and Adams,
proved that nose of the earns appeased in the ledgers
according to the folio' indicated, or in Mr. Themaa's
mount. He bad examined the baleen on the 3rd of
January, 1857, and found it to be 26,4981. 9s. 10d. The
balance should represent the amout Cl mash end bills in
band, and it named that 2001. had been paid to George
Timm on that. day. If Thomas did not receive that
111110111 A er-
Mr. ants—Ye, the last time we had • string of " ifs "
—if Thane bad not received the mosey, or if it bad not
been paid to somebody else, or if it had not been applied to
scene purpose of the bulk.
Mr. Bird—Certainly, upon those easumptions, the balance
should lave been 2001. more, viz., 28,0981. 9a. 10d. On the
18th of February the balance appears ea 29,7271. 18e. 2d.,
sad it amine that between the 3rd Janney and the 18th
of February, 1857, saran sums, amounting to 1,5004, had
been paid to George Thomas. if Thomas did not receive
there sums the balance should be 31,2271. 18s. ; the
babes of 29,7271. is altogether incorrect.
Boma remarks were made by Mr. Bird as to the amount
of deficieocy which Ind been ascertained, which led to some
diseuesiou, bat the evidence was confined strictly to the
present charge.
By Mr. James—The balance in correct according to the
booka. I bars not examined the ledgers son to say whether
the items referred to as having been posted to Mr. Thomas's
account have not been posted to sone other account. I
have ace been instructed to do that. At the end of June,
1857, the ledsm.balances speed with the arh balances, or
nearly so, in but that &nee from • peat many erro-
neous entries ring been modems the posite (the receipt)
aide, without which the balance could
-not have agreed.
Thediscrepancies would be patent to any one in examining
the books half-yearly, or in checking the acconue daily,
either at the time or at any sabsequeat period. The bask
bill book was produced, and Mr. Bird mid : On
the 30th of June, 1857, the amount of bills, ac
cording to the books, was 18,2334 Is. sd. ; according
to the cash basun, as recorded in the settling book,
it was 242231. Is. 51, showing • disureparery of 7,0001.
On the MS Cl Danaher, 18i58, the amount in the bill
book was 11,7401. 14s. 4d. and is the settling book
14,7401. 14s. 4d., showiag a dieremzecy of 3,0001., which I
had aria= ia the previous week.
By Mr. James—The summary entree of bills are not in
premier's handwriting. la the entries in the settling book
there are notificeitions in Madera/rig net the prison's.
All throughout the bill-book, up to 1802, there are entries
sot made by the prisoner.
Mr. F. H. Adams, recalled, proved that the setting-
look generally lay on Mi. Morpo's desk, and that the bill-
book, though priocipally under the chargeot the •
and Freehold, another clerk, was &lenge open b Mr. Nor-
pa's inspection.
Another charge, of stealing 1,2401. in notes, was entered
and partly gone oa with, but it was attuned', for the
presoak abandomal.
Mr. James maid that the prisoner would reserve his de-
fence, and • committal for trial at the January sessions was
agreed to. Mr. James applied for the prisoner to be re-
leased on bail, to be given to the satudaction of Mr. Bull,
and urged it on the ground of the state of the primer's
health (sitter from assume= of the gaol being produced),
on the fact that the prisoner had not. attempted to escape,
aor was he likely to do so, and an the tan that the offesee
alleged against him had been committed • year and a half
ago and partly ocodoced by Masers. Morgan sad Adams, to
whom be had given up a good deal of property, and that
the prosecution was not instituted for the purpose of vin-
dicating the law, bat in order to white-wilt some parties
who were supposed to be inculpated is the transaction.
Mr. Bell did not object to bail, bat pointed out the fee
that the presoaks, were the snipes§ of the bark:rupee'
seats, and that their object was to fully investigate the
circumstances counted with the great fraud that had been
perpetrated, and to punish the guilty party.
- The =senates retired for consultation, and on their re-
turn said that, having taken the letter of the surgeon of
the gaol and all the points urged into oonsideratiou, they
felt Wood to refuse the applention. If the priaoner's
health should suffer from imprisonment, application
wad at any time be made to a judge at ahem hers for Lail.
The primer was then re-conveyed to the city gaol,
• large concourse of persons being present outside the
amt.
