shape of beak and railway shares of the value of 7,0004
belonging to Anne Bruce Borland and others, was again
placed at the bar for eternisation relative to that charge.
Mr. Humphreys, jun., of the firm of Huneuhreys, Son,
end Morgan, appeared for the prosecution • and Mr. Sleigh,
by Mr. Sawbridge, conducted the defence.
The circumstances under which this charge was preferred
against the prisoner have already appeared, and the only
additional evidence was that of Mrs. Borland, who deposed
that he the early pats of 1858. in consequence of the de-
cease of one of the executors under the will of her uncle,
the late Mr. &radian, and the emigration of another, the
prisoner was lett sole trustee, and upon her proposing the
appointment of other trustees, he objected most strenuously,
and add if anyone was appointed to co-operate with him he
would throw the whole matter into Chancery. That question,
therefore, remained in abeyance until July, 1869 when
errangeatents were made, and two printed forma, filled up in
the prisoner's handwriting, were forwarded to her for the
purpose of transferring the 132 bank share, and the 2601.
railway stock into the names of herself and her three daugh-
ters. She however, consulted Me. Brum, a solicitor, intro-
duced to her by the prisoner at an early stage of the negotia-
tions, and by his advice she presented the forms of transfer
at the London and Westminster Bank, where they were at
once repodiated,and she was advised to put the matterinto the
heads of her solicitor. She did eo. and upon further inquiry
ft was ascertained that there bad been no such number of
sham in the prisoner's name for twelve mootha previous.
The prisoner forwarded to her regularly the half-yearly divi-
dends upon the shares up to and including the July dividend
of 1869, bat the books of the bank ahoy( d that no such divi-
dends had been paid to the prisoner during that time, the
greater portion of the shares having been transferred by the
prisoner to other names sa far back as 1858.
