Tun CILAI,OI OP BILL SW 111 DLINO AGAINST "CAP-
TAIN" ROVILIDOR.—Tins was the day appointed for the
farther 'elimination of Fred. WM. Rout,edo, but in his
stead a medical certificate was produced from the surgeon of
Morsel:Linger lane Owl, stating that lloutledgs was lying
dangerously ill in the prison hospital.
Mr. Robinson informed the magistrate that since the last
examination of the prisoner, Sergeant Quinnear and Con-
stable Melville had traced the whole of the notes sent by
Mr. Johann, of St. Melee's, Lancashire, to the prisoner,
on the 7th of December last, to take up a bill for 2131. 16e.,
and due on that day, to Rostledge's pomession, and this
testimony, together with the production of the bill Itself,
would complete the evidence In the cam of Mr. Johnsen.
He (Mr. Robinson) would be also prepared on a future day
to show that the acceptance to two bills of exchange, and
which had been sent by Routledge to • tradeunan at
Macclesfield, were forgeries and this, in his (Mr. Robin.
son's) opinion, would be a dear case of forgery.
Antall ledger, found in a secret drawer at the prisoner's
residence, and in which the prisoner kept a minute account
of his daily, monthly, and annual transactions, was produced
to the magistrate. From the entries in this book, all of
which were in the prisoner's handwriting, it appeared that
in the year 1836 (the commencement of the book) the
risoner's receipts amounted to 1,2054 2s. 6d. ; is 1836,
1,0281.8 a. Ild.; fa 1837, 1,5351. 2s. Bd. ; in 1838,
1,0251. les. BJ. ;in 1839, 6011.35. ;in 1840, 1,6971191.3 d.;
in 1841, 7591. 61. 6d. ; in 1842, 6101. ; in 1843, 6151. 15s. ;
in 1844, 6741 ; in 11145, 1,1401. ; in 1848, 6351. ; in 1847,
3361. ; is 168, 3b91. ; in 1849, 1394 ; la 1860, 4871. In
another part of the book the receipts for 1839 were stated to
be 4,781/: ;
an
in 1840, 6,8681. ; in 1841, 6,0374 ; and in
1842, 5,9001. From memoranda, in the book Rut.
ledge attributed the great disparity and falling off
of his receipts is particular years to the expenses
that occasionally followed the application of some
of his dupes to a magistrate or the officers of justice.
Amongst the prisoner's amounts were found those of a
fashionable West-end tailor, from which it appeared that in
1838 he paid 301. for a snit of uniform worn by him on the
acetone of his being presented at smart to the late Bing
William the Fourth, and when he was presented as Captain
Rontledge, of the Somenstshire Militia. In the ledger
containing the above accounts then was found an engraving,
which appeared to have been cut from some newspaper, of
the prisoner, in fall uniform, and as he appeared at court.
Mr. !Norton inquired U the solicitors of the Bankers'
association were coolies forward to lend their aid in the
prosecution, which wonid be one of some difficulty, and
',spina/. the aid of a practised lawyer.
Mr. Mobiles= replied that Meson. Bush and Mullins were
merely 'elicitors to the Leaden Bankers' Amodatoa, and as
no attempt hid bete made to defraud the Leaden beakers,
awl as it could int affect the beakers in the metropolis in
any way to have bills of exchange made payable at their
loans, eves by swiacilers, those gentlensso weak not give
say directions to the solieiton to the amoolatioa to Warfare
is any way in the matter. Mr. Robison added that, in
reply to some communications which had been mods to per.
sons, who, from letters found mamma the prisoser's
papers, he'd had transactions with Boa edge, he received
answers from &eternise threats/sing actions, and all sons
of pain and penalties, if he dare dieshoe the suns of
their client as connected in any way with the prisoner or
his transactions.
Mr. Norte* remarked that be did not thick that he (Mr.
Bobiasen), ha 4 mash to her from sash throats, sad pro-
, leased the further examination of the prisms to a fitters
day.
In the course of the day Mr. Guam, a, the prisoner's
&clicker, applied to Mr. Norton for an eider to the officer
Melville, to give him a few pounds mere out of the 76
sovereigns foiled in the prionee's drawers sad whisk ap-
