what fashionable word uf the day,--naoaely,.that the late
J., Redfearn, the_ cushier and chief clerk in the bank
of the. Leeds, Banking Company at Leeds, who- died sud-
denly in a railway carriage near Wakefielcl when on his
• return with his wife and some of his children from
Hastings, has been „found a serious defalcator at the
, bauk. The exact atpount of the, defalcations has not
yet -been announced, , nor has the made in which they
were effected. The_Leeds Mercury of Tuesday says :
" We are sorry to learn that since the sudden death of Mr.
J. Redfearn, :which: we announced a few weeks ago, it
,haSbeen:discoyered that he had misapplied funds of the
Leeds Banking • CoMpany of which he was the chief
cashier.' We -are 'also informed that the' fraud was
effected under the 'cover of-a most ingenious systeth of
falsification of accounts, and that the loss of the banking
company will be about £9,000. The Leeds correspond-
ent . of the Lifan'ohester: Guardian says After Mr.
Redfearn's sudden death •from,disease, of the'heart, under
which he had been long labouring, his post at the bank
was • duly filled by the next clerk in rank,. Mr. Kirby,
and a very serious falsification of one of the accounts of
which he had charge :was then fOr the first time dis-
covered. Mr. Redfearn, as cashier, had charge of
