MR. FAPNTLEROY'S FINAL EXAMINATION.

The final arrang,ementa for the committal of this gentle-
man twin; on Monday completed, a communication to that
effect was sent to Mr. Conant, the committing Magistrate,
and in the course of that evening directions were given to
Mr. Vickery, the Keeper of the House of Correction, to
apprise the prisoner of his contemplated removal for exa-
mination yoiterday to Marlborough-street office, and
thence, consequently, to Nesvgate. This intimation was
received by Mr. Fauntleroy without any apparent agitation
or uneasiness, and he expressed his intention of being
ready at the appointed time of removal: and as a kind of
pledge was given by some persons concerned in the prose-
cution, that on his next examination notices would he sent
to some of the principals of eminent banking and commer-
cial houses, the office was thronged with gentlemen, even
so much so that with considerable difficulty, at one o'clock,
scarcely room could be made for the persons in attendance
on other business.

On the Bench sat Mr. Berries, Sir T. Farquhar, Mr.
Williams, Mr. Young, Sir George Farrant, Lord Roch-
fort, and several other gentlemen of the commercial world.
The private room was also full of gentlemen, among
whom were the Governor, Deputy Governor, and two or
three Proprietors of the Bank of England.
Mr. Conant, at one o'clock, intimated to some gentle-
, men that the prisoner would not be examined until half-
past two o'clock, and then the proceeding Would merely
be the usual regular one of committal to Newgate;
but it was also understood that Mr. FresMeld intended to
advance two other charges of the fraudulent transfer of
stock to a very large amount.
Mr. Freshtidil, and two of his clerks, were busily occu-
pied with Mr. Fitzpatrick in preparing depositions.
A gentleman in the course of the morning drove up in
his carriage to the office, and asked to see Mr. Conant, and
immediately was ushered into his presence.
The nature of the conference, which lasted someminutes,
was on the subject of the accused person, and the gentle-
man shelved a paper to the Nl:wistrate, finally requesting
an order of admission to the Douse of Correction to see
Mr. Fauntleroy.
The Magistrate said, he would be in the office before he
could get there. However, we understand the gentleman
succeeded iu the object of his application.
At one o'clock Plank, Schofield, and Clements left the
office, and some time after a hackney-coach drove up,
in which were these officers and the prisoner ; the door was
instantly thronged by persons whom curiosity to see him
bad collected.

Ile alighted, and on seeing the crowd seemed rather
agitated. Ile leaned on Plank's arm as he walked to the
strong-mom. Ile was dressed as at the last examination.

At half-pact two o'clock Mr. Conant ortleted Mr. Faunt-
lerov to be brought into the office; he was immediately
introduced, and an officer took his station at each side of
him. He (Mr. F.) was placed in front of the bar, and
stood nearly in the same position as we described him at
the last examination' leaning on his left arm, his right
hanging down. Ile kept his eyes fixed on the ground,
and appeared to take but little notice of anything passing.
Ile howcd on entering the office, which was thronged to
excess.

Mr. Freshficld said he 'multi off.•r two other rases
against the prisoner, as probably they might be produced
at the Sessions. He called

Colonel Thema, Luster, of the army, whose deposition
proved that 6,011 f. 13s. Q. was placr'l in the 4 per Cents.
Consolidated Long Annuities, to the witness's account,
about the year INIC, and the prisoner and Messrs. Graham
and Co. were appointed to receive the dividends, Sec., and
that the power of attorney produced, signed by the prisoner
himself. and the other trustees, dated loth Dec. I 19, was
not authorised by him, and his name was forged to that
docutnent.

Jetlethal' Kelly, Esq., of Bath, proved that his name
as a subscribing witness to that power of attorney was
forged.
The usual proof by the clerks of the bank of Messrs.
Graham, Stracey, and Co., and the Bank of England, of
the names of Mr. Kelly and the other subscribing witness,
Miss Elizabeth Fauntleroy, to be the prisoner's hand-
writing, was adduced, as was also the proof of his having
obtained the money from the Bank of England.
Mr. Freshfield said, the other subscribing witness, Miss
Fauntleroy, being the prisoner's sister, he would not call
her. Indeed no apology was necessary when he stated
this.

The power of attorney purported to be drawn at Wex-
ford, in Ireland.

The proof of the transfer of stock to the amount of .5001.
by the same means, belonging to Mr. J. Griffith, of Col-
lingbeer, Devonshire, was then adduced.
All the witnesses in the two cases were bound over to
prosecute and give evidence, and the prisoner was fully
committed to Newgate for trial.
Mr. Forbes, his solicitor, asked whether he was to be
removed thither directly?
Mr. Freslifiehl said, the Bank had nothing to do with
long or abort commitments. The evidence of committal
was before the Magistrates, and the Bank should look to
them for the votrity of the prisow:r until the trial.
Mr. Conant said, the prisoner should be taken to New-
gate on Thursday next. lie was then removed.

On the morning of Mr. F.'s apprehension, one of the
principal clerks, on his coming to the banking-house, told
him lie had heard that two Bow-street officers had been
parading up and down the street all night; on which
Mr. F , without any apparent perturbation, replied, that
he sapposcil there bad been a robbery in the neighbour-
hood, and added, " you must take care that the thieyes get
nothing here! "
