YORK SUMMER ASqIZES, 1804.

TVAL Of TAYLOR, OP NEW MALTOS,

YtOMAII,
FOR RbtBEZZLENIENT•.

There were six Indictments against the Prisoner
T receiving divers sums of money of various per.
sans, and at different times, on account of his em-
ployers, Sir C. Sykes and Co. and Messrs. Broadley
and Co.; and for secreting and embezzling the
same, contrary to the Affi of the 39th of his present
Majesty.
On Tuesday, the 17th of July, he was tried upon
the indiament charting him with having, on the
el st of September, 1801, received of 36. Samuel
Pickerington, of Melton, tlOl. on account of he
masters; Sir C. Sykes. and R. C. Broadley, Esq. and
with having secreted and embezzled the same.
Mr. Serjeant Cocasee stated the Aft of Parlia-
ment, and that the punishment inaidled by the said
Ad for such offences was transportation for the
term of fourteen years: :The Learned Serjeant ad-
verted to the extraordinary circumstance of a rob-
bery having been committed on the Bank the very
day before a half yearly settlement was to take
place by appointment of Messrs. Broadley and Co.
with Mr. Taylor; also stated, that the impossibility
of obtaining any information respecting that affair
from Mr. 'l'eylor, gave rise to suspicions in the
mind of Mr. Broadley. He said the difference in
Mr. Taylor's accountr in 1801 amounted to be-
tween 7 and 80001.; yet Mr. Taylor was so artful
as to imposi on his employers until the circumstance
of the robbery above-mentioned, which put them on
refleding how he could, out of his salary. compara-
tively small with his expensive style of living, con-
trive to lend money, as he then began to make
claims of debts, &c. The Serjeant expatiated at
some length on the different means made use of by
Mr. Taylor, to cover the deficiencies; but as they
will appear in the evidence, we omit them here.
Letters were, however, offered to be read as evi-
dence of Mr. Taylor's having repeatedly applied to
the bank of Messrs. Broadley and Co. at Beverley,
and to a Mr. Watson, their agent for the circula-
tion of notes at Kirbymoorside, for large sums of
money, a few days before the half yearly settlements
took place, for the purpose of coveting his deficien-
cies. The first Produced was dated July, 1796, ad-
dressed to Mr. Watson, requesting the sum of 800
or 10001. with promise to repay the following Mon-
day. The second dated in 1797, requesting all the
cash, &c. which could possibly be sent, with pro.
min to meet at Pickering, and repay in a few days.
;fere the Prisoners Counsel, Mr. Lurie, objedled
that letterseeritten so long before the period to which
the Indiettnent referred, could be suffered to ap-
ply or be admitted as evidence, particularly as the
firm was different in 1796 : But the Learned Judge
direfted Serjeant Coetate. to read such as were of
the date 18Q0, and later, which (after his Lord-
ship's declaration, that without such letters being
admitted as evidence, the Court and Jury could not
possibly obtain all the necessary inf. ematton respeet-
mg the yaw ammo) was submitted to by Mr. Re tee.
Serjeant Cockeet then read a letter. dated April,
1800, and another August, 1600, requesting else
ft atson, of keirbysnoor sicken send him, Mr. Taylor.
4 all our notes, and all the stuff you possibly can,'_
&c. These letters being admitted as proof that Mr.
Taylor had been in the habit of covering his defi-
ciencies by such means for some time, the learned
Serjeant proceeded to calleve!ence ; and first,
R. C. Broadley, Esq. who deposed that he was
partner with the late Sir C. Sykes, until within a few
months of his death, when their coated of partner-
ship expired on the part of Sir C. Sykes, but that
the business was carried on in the same firm until
the death of Sir C. Sykes. That .Mr. Taylor was
received into their service as confidential and chief
clerk at Mahal, in 1790, and continued in the ser-
vice of Mr. hroadicy and Co. until November,
1803, but was not considered as very efficient after
the .sth of March, 1803; be was then apparently so
ill, from the circumstance of the supposed robbery,
that another clerk wes sent from Hull, who was
made casider and chief clerk; but Mr. Taylor con-
tinued to give information of the country, &c. and
was paid to November, 1803, and lived in the
Douse. Mr. Broadley said, he carried on husin-ss
solely on his own account from the 30th of June to
the 30th of September,. 1801, when he took part-
ners. Said he believed accounts were settled
monthly, but a general account of stock, &e. was
only taken twice a year, sifter Christmas and ?Aria-
summer, but not always exadlly at those time..
That Sir C. Sykes, living more in the neighbour-
hood, was oftener present at those times than lie was;
but that the method they used was to take a sche-
dule of all notes, cash, &c. and that at those times
Mr. Taylor exhibited all to them. That the juatior
cleric kept a sapartte cash-book, and Lad also some
cull in his keeping, but that his and Mr. Teylcr's
cash-hooks were brought forward at settling, area
Mr. Taylor vets always considered as having the
whole property under his care. Mr. Rtnedley was
at Sledniare on the 4th of March, lfei3 ; did not
see Mr. Taylor that day, but was met on tee read
by Mr. Taylot's servant. Saw Mr. Taylor tee
evening of the rich ; had taken account of sto:.1:
,before seeing him ; deficiency then was between 14
end 13,0301. Mr. Taylor said he had been AL
aod got home late.—.sere Mr. R .rez ob-
jated, tha." there appeared a cuntradidlion in seating
that stock was ociy taken at Christmas and Mid-
surnnter ; bait was answered by Mr. Broadley that
seek had not been taken the Christmas before, nor
t rtil that time eke the half year. He then procteded
to state that Mr. Taylor had informed him that he,
7:r. Taylor, got prune late the evening before ; had
eit up till his servents t auk care of his horse; went
e. het about eleven /o'clock • was awakened be some
'.'he rushing seolentle on him, and throvieg the bed-

chests (there being two in the bank) was found
open, not bloke open, but opened with a key; and
on being questioned by Mr. Broadley, Mr. Taylor
said his coat was laid on the bed, and the key of
that chest in the pocket ; that he supposed the coat
had fallen down when the bed-clothes were thrown
over his face, and the key had jingled, by which
they had found it ; the junior clerk had the key of
the other chest, which was not opened. When Mr.
Broadley saw the chest which was opened, there was
no property in it. Said, Mr. Taylor i.;`ormed him,
that the greatest part of the property which was in
the chest that had been opened, was their own notes.
Broadley was procmJing to state that they Ad.
vertised a vary gteat iev•aru for a discovery of the
robbery ; but the Court ohjened to entering into
any discus..jon resp o.ling the tobloery, it not being
reguarly 1:e•lore thorn ; but his Lordship said, any
evidence of; Mr Taylor having prevaricated about
stock would be received.

This Witn.ss was cross-examined by Mr. Rant,
who unicrst i d that Mr, l'aylor had said he
thought more than one person was concerned in ty-
ing him; Mr. Broadley replied in the negative;
but admitted that he thought Mr. Taylor's face
looked flushed, and his eyes as if bloodshot; ad-
mitted it was possible. in large money concerns, that
mistakes might arise ; but denied the possibility of
cash Is ig entered in the cash-book, without going on
to the ledger, and appearing there on its deficiency ;
and on Hr. itAINIE pressing the question. whether,
in time of great hurry, money might not be brought
in without being entered then? Mr. Broadley an-
swered, it was very possible; but the mistake could
continue n i longer than till nest time when the ac-
count of cash was taken. whets an overpius would
appear;: and said such mistakes could not happen
often. He thought Mr. Taylor too easy a man, and
one who would not follow orders, but extended
credits contrary thereto : thought him competent
but indolent.
Questii-n by Mr. Woon, Counsel for the prosecu-
tion, Hc.w often, Mr. Broadley, should a clerk ba-
lance his cash-book?

Answer. Every night, if regular ; but certainly
every week at least; and if any mistake had arisen
by not entering in hurries, money received, on ba-
lancing, such mistakes must appear from a surplus
in the cash, and ought to have been immediately
rectified.

Mr. Thomas Austin has been junior clerk in the
said bank from t 793 to 11104 under the orders of
Mr. Taylor, whom he obeyed; kept books, and had
access to those kept in the iron che-ts ; says stock
was generally Laical at Christmas and Midsummer,
but not always at those times; said Mr. Taylor
knew very well that he had. knowledge of defici-
encies, and Iyafore the time of taking stock, bad
used language to this effe&, addressed to the Wit-
ness, " Tommy, we must contrive to make up the
deficiencies somehow." Witness had been a year
and a half when he knew first of deficiencies ; un-
derstood from Mr. Taylor it was then 20001. Pot
larger every half year while he staid; at leaving
was 80101. Mr. Taylor in general said it would be
for the good of the bank in the end ; when Witness
first knew of it, he understood it was a real de-
ficiency s cools& not reconcile it with Mr. Taylor's
d clarations of being for the good of the bask but
found it too delicate a subject to regnest any informa-
tion from Mr. Taylor, who, at settling next time, sent
to Beverley for 2 or 3000 guineas in notes from the
casli;er of Messrs. Broadley and Co.'s bank ; latterly,
on such occasions, has sent to Mr. Watson, of
Kit bymoorside, their agent, for sums of money,
which he put to cash to make up deficiencies. Did
not enter such sums to credit of Beverley bank, nor
Mr. Watson; nor at all in the cash-book till per-
haps a wi•ek after stock WAS taken ; but if any defi-
cieacy remained, alter getting all the money he
Gould get in this way, he used to debit Beverley
Bank for remainder. Witness posted in all the
books; had a separate cash-hook ; but there was a
general cash-book, into which both his and Mr.
Taylor's cash-books were posted, from thence into
the ledger.
Cross-examined by Mr. Raise—Says Mr. Tay-
lor did lend money to customers at interest beyond
his orders, but wryer knew him debit himself with
such interest. Did never enter the sums received
from Beverley, or Kirbymoorside, on the occasion
aforesaid, at the tames they were received.

Mr. John Watson has been agent for circulating
the notes of Messrs. Broadley and Co.'s bank ever
since the year 1742. Mr. Taylor has uniformly, at
different times, and during the whole time (rum
1792 to ISA, spoken of having lent money to
friends, or custormrs, and of taking or giving
checks to oblige friends, and has been in the habit
of sending for m 'ney before settling times.; has ap-
plied both by letter and messages for that purpose.
—Here Mr. RAI NE objeacd; but the objection was
ovei ruled on the ground of the vs. alum., and leave
given to read a letter dated the Ifith April, IWO :
u Dear Sir, this is to desire you will send us all the
stuff you can muster to-morrow evening, or Friday
morning ; say not later than eight o'clock morning."
Mr. Watson accordingly sent WS. .ss. lid. as ap-
pears by Austin's entry, 19th of April, in Mr.
Watson's ca'ck cash-book, sent with the said m ney,
and returned to `.lre Watson. By another letter, 21si
of August. 1t../J, " I will thank y.. 0 to send me as
Mtli:l as you C4l by to-morrow night, and as mach
of nor own notes as you can." Sent in consequence
61.21. 14s. and 6711. Is. &I. as appears by Austin's
e..try, 25th of August, in Mr. Vs'atson's cash-book ;
before these sums August,
entered by Austin in the bank
cash book, stock had been tak:n by Sir C. Sykes,
or Mr. Btoadiry. Mr. Taylor has given Mr. Was-
sot: 500 guineas, and that several different times.
saying he had been obliged, by necessity, to debit
him t.r those sums, to make up deficiencies of cash
at

Thomas Hall is now clerk and cashiTr of the said
Rank ; produced Mr. Taylor's receipt for Vori
to Samuel Piekerjng, and proves it Mr. taylrir's

gin thereof, are his ( !lan's) writing. and wroie there

other receipt in exchange for it of the s tma valle ;
says, there ;smother entries of cash received on e:e
same day by Mr. Taylor in the bank cash-books,
but an trace of the receipt of this, or of its b-ing
carried to account ; says, it newer has been account-
ed for to the bank. Q. put to Mr. Broadley. Did
you ever receive this money A. Never to my
knowledge.
The Prisoner was here called on for his defence.
Prisoner.--A4 I never did one :OA in my Ire with in-
tention to defraud the bank, but to do it all the ser-
vice in my power.'

The Counsel for the prisoner then prneeeded to
call witnesses to the charader of Mr. Taylor.
Rev. Mr. Gilhy has known Mr. Taylor for thirty
years, and has had dealings with him when a *woof-
len-draper at Beverley ; always forrild hiin a pcifecb
ly honest man, and of strid integrity.
Sir Malik Masterman Sykes, 13art. Rev. Mr.
Lundy, Lockington, I)r. Simpson, Mr. Lockwood,
Beverley, John Arden, Ext. Mayor of Beverley, Mfr.
Rigby, Mr. Midileton, It•:verlcy, Mr. Thomas
Duesberry, Beverley, Mr John Todd, Hull, Mr.
Mr William Ward-I, Beverley, all stated that tliej
knew the prisoner for many years, some.for twenty
years, others for thirty years, and gave him an ex-
cellent cbarader.

The Prisoner's Counsel was prOceeding to call
Mr. Edward Soulby, when the Learned Judge in-
terposed, saying, that it Was quite unnecessary to
call any more witnesses on the subj,vlt.
The evidence on both sides being closed, his Lord-
ship, in an elegant and most iMpressive soei•th, ad-
dressed the Jut y ; in the course of which' his Lord-
ship lamented the frailty of human nature, which.
afforded us, too often, instances ot persons deserv-
ing and possessed of the best of charatleis up to
certain periods of life, by giving way to temptations.
forfeiting, in one moment, all that pre-eminence of
virtue they had before enjoyed, and sinking into
the opposite and wretched state, that of a person
whose good charafter is entirely forfeited and
gone. His Lordship said, the fads necessary to
be proved in order to constitute the prisoner guilty,
were, first, His being a clerk or servant ent:usted
with valuable property : Secondly. That a secre-
tion or embezzlement of some part of such property
had taken place by him : And, thirdly, That his
in-
tention, by such secretion or embezzlement, was to
convert the said property to his own use or pur-
poses, thereby defrauding his employers, sad becom-
ing guilty of felony, or rcaling the same. The
first faO was clearly proved : The sec. ind also : 'The
evidence on the third was before the Jury, who
must believe the intent to Weftandulent, ut.less th-y
surly :led it probable, that the prisoner was, by sow
lucky hit, some wonderful stroke of fortune. cf
which, said his 11.ordsl.ip, the witch or fortuna-teller
might have informed the pi isoner, to be enabled to
replace his gnat deficit; or rather, whether it was
rational to suppose that he trusted to a continuance
of his arts to cover the deficiencies, Mull an op-
portunity might offer for his escape. llis Lordship
having concluded his observations, the Jury retired ;
and on their return, the Foreman returned a verdi
of—Guitiy ; with a recommendation, founded on
the nunteroulend respeaatle testimonies of charac-
ter, for akn nt punishment; to whi,.h recommend-
ation his Lordship answered, although charretsr
cannot do away the offence, it ought and shall have
due weight in mitigation ot punishment.
Mr. Taylor was again tried on Wednesday, upon
another of the indiatments, by the desire of the
Judge, for reasons which we think it would not be
prudent in us to state, for embezzling three separate
sums of 514. ss. s'l. 381. 10s. and I 11. 41. 9,1- as in-
terest money, paid into the hands of the Prisoner,
by tl.e agent of Me . Fentons, of Ma'am', on
account of the bank.

Mr. Broadley was main examined, and gave, in
substance, the same evidence as upon the preceding
vial, as to carrying on the business of a hanker at
Malton; the situation of the Priioner in the Bank ;
and that the Prisoner had no authority or per.
mission to trade with money belonging to the bank.
Upon being cross-esamined by Mr. MAINE, Mr.
Broadley admitted that, in the multitude of business
which must necessarily pas, throagli the Prisoner's
hand, mistakes might h amen in the bn.do„
ticuiarlf as he considered the Prisoner as rather care-
less ; bat that his int. in epaiaichaide sip to
a certain period ; had it not been so, he would cer-
tainly nut have continued him in the situ.stiva tie
was in.

Mr IZ:chard Parker, anent to Messrs. Fenton', of
proved, that '.n the behalf of Isis employers
he had borrowed money at the Mahon Baia, and
paid sic interest for io:o the hands of the Pri-
soner ; the first paym.nst s as the sum of 541. Ss. Bd.
on the 14th of March, 180 u; the second the sum of
$Bl. Pis. on the 13th of June. 1900; the third the
sum of 811 4s. 9d. on the 23i of June. 1800.
Mr. Thomas Hall, cashier to the Slidton Bark,
produced the cash-book of the bank for the }ear
1800, as also other books of accounts, which all ap-
peared to have been kept by the Prisoner, or by Alr.
Austin, the junior clerk; but, after minu:elv es-
amming all the books, he could find no entry in any
of them of money paid by the preceding Witre-s.
except an entry fit the h....1-seri:l:l of Mi. Austin.
