In consequence of its not beirie at all gentrally known that this
examination wettld take place, there were vary few perms in at.
rendsoce during the morning; indeed, none hut :Ease wrio sone,: id
upon other husiresv, until one o'clock; whe7 Mr. flume, Mr.
Gnodchild, Mr. Graham, anions or two o'h•r ilentlerv.en, entered
and took seats in the private room, from which the done former
never moved outing the whole proceedings. except when called into
the public office to give and sign their dep.rtitions. In a short time
after the Governor ad Penuty Governor. and some of the other Di.
rectors of the Bank of England. arrived atd took their stations at
the rear of the 111agistratee chair; and. besides these. there were
about two doyen other Gentimr.en, either friends of the Magistrates.

or of some of the parties present. In the private nom there were
11:60 two ladies observed. from whvse state of sigiratton ano. apparent
anguish, it was not difficult to conclude that they bore some intense
interest in the proceedings about to take pla:e. Tncy were tirder
the care of a gentleman, who seemed to use his best endeavours to
soothe their anguish.
Mr. Broderick. the Barester, who, with Mr. Forbes, the soltri.

tor. and Mr. Butler, the Chief Clerk of Mr. Harmer (who could
not himself attend), made their appearance on behalf of the pri.onee.
about half-past one, and, in a few minutes after. Mr. Freahlield
was in atter dance. on the part of the Bank of England.
At precisely within a quarter to two o'clock, the Magistrates.. Sir
George Fatrant„ Mr. Collard, and Mr. Dyer. having taken their
sesta upon the 'tench, Plank was directed to produce his orison., ;
but Mr. Butler said, that as Mr. Harmer, who had heard the for-
mer examination, was not present, perhaps the Magistrates would
allow Mr. Broderick to look over the depositions for a few minutes
in the Private room. This wish was acceded to. and the Clerk of
, the Ohice took the depositions into the put ate room for that mu-
! pose. In a very short time Mr. Broderick returned, and a final or.
der wee now given to Plank to bring in Ale. Fauntli.roy, and within
five minutes to two of chock the prisoner wan introduced as before,
leaning on the arms of Plank and another officer.
The prisoner entered, not, as on the first occasion, with a hurled
step and agitated manner, but walked firmly into the Office, and,
without being directed thereto, instantly took his station. leaning,
as at the former time,. against and outside the ba•, within which
prisoners are usually placed. but which now contained some of the
witness's to be examined. IHr. fauntleroy weed:need precisely as
on the former exernination, in a blue coat, blue trowsera, and white
waistcoat, but now wore a black handkerchief round his neck.
whereas, at the first examination, lie wore a white one. Ile leaned
with his left side against the bar, his left elbow on it, and his !tend
resting on his hand. Ilia right arm It. placed across his breast.
holding his hat in that he'd! ; and out of this position he never once
moved or stirred during the whole of the examination. His coon.
tenance betrayed a much more settled state of mind than when
we lest saw him; be seemed in goal health, not at all agitated,
and almost, in point of appearance, indifferent to the whole pro-
ceeding, for the most part. He, however, oeczaior.ally heaved a
deep sigh.
The depositions, which were already prepared, were new handed
to the Clerk to be read ; and before commencing, Mr. Freshtield,
addressing the Magistate, said, that on the former examination
there was one case, that of a warrant of attorney for 110,9001. corn.
pieced on the part of the prosccution ; and they had also gone is
part into the evidence resp,ming three other wrmants of attorney
for other sums, namely, one for 46.111•11. one for a',,0001. and one for
8,30111. ; and lie would now proceed to complete the evidence Li
their cases also.

George Edward Graham, late partner with the prisoner in the
Bank of Marsh and Co. was then sworn. and the following depo-
sition read over to him—" That on the Stith of October, 1820, he
received from the prisoner, Henry Fauntleroy, the power of at-
torney now produced, fur 36,0001. 3 per Cent. Annuities, with di.
'tenons to sell the same, which he accordingly did on the 2d ofl
November, 1C20; and the signature of 0. E. Graham to the war.
rant of attorney, es haying so sold the same, was signed." This de-
peaition' Mr. Graham said, was true.
The deposition of James Tyson was next read, and went to say.
that the signature of ihis deponent, signed as an attesting witness to
the names of Henry Fauntleroy and J. 1). Home, en this power of
attorney, was the proper signature of this deponent, and that he I
did so witness the said Henry, Fauntleroy subscribe his name to this
documen• but that the wore,' " Clerks in the /linking House of
Marsh and CO." also witnesses to the signature of J. I). Hume, I
were not then written; and that they, as well as the signature, J.
D. Hume, are in the proper hand-writing of the prisoner; and de.
portent further smith, that he never did witness the signature of J.
D. Hume to any instrument whatever. This witness was sworn,
and signed his deposition.
Joseph Golightly, being sworn, deposed, that he, as well as the II
last deponent, was a clerk in the Banking-house of Marsh and Cu.;
that he has examined the power of attorney now produced, and that
the signature " Jos. Golightly," attached thereto, as an attesting
witnens to the name of Henry Fauntleroy, is the true and proper
signature of this deponent, and that he did no witness the signature
of the said Henry Fauntleroy; but that the words " Clerks to
MOOTS. Marsh and Co. Bankers, also witnesses to the signature of
John D. Hume," were not then written; and that these words, as
well as the name " J. D. Hume" signed to the power of attorney,
are in the proper hand-writing of the prisoner at The bar.
John ticxxlchild, Surgeon, of Lim Tree Road, Regent's Park,
deposed, that in the month of May 1818, this deponent, together
with J. D. flume, of Pinner's Park, in the county of Kent, hind
henry Fauntleroy, of Berner's-street, Banker, were appointed
trustees to the sum of 48.000/. three per cent. Imperial Annuities,
vested by Francis W ahem Itellis, of Oxted Cottage, in the county
of Soucy, in their funds, to be for the use and benefit of Susannah
Belli., his wife, and her children ; that the said securities were
deposited in Bank of England,with power to the prisoner, Henry
Fauntleroy, to receive the usual dividends on the same, and place
them to the credit of the said F. W. Dellis, in this account, with the
Banking-house of Marsh and Co. in which the said Henry Faunt-
luny was a partner; that the said dividends were regularly accounted
Mr by the prisoner until the death of the said Francis William
Bents, in January last; that proceedings have lately been corn.
menced in the Court of Chancery, to arrange all the funds of the
estate of the said deceased Francis William BMW ; in consequence
of which, this deponent, in conjunction with the other trustee,
J. I). Hume, has had several interviews with the prisoner, within
a few weeks, on the subject of their trust; and on all these omit-
sions the prisoner stated that the said stock was still standing in tlso
names of the said neaten, in the Bank of England. And depo.
rent further saith, that be bath examined the power of attorney
now produced, purporting to be signed him, giving authority to
the said lienry Fauntleroy to dispose: sit the said 40,0001. S per
Cent. Annuities ; but that tile signature 6' John Gootichild," at.
tubed thereto, is not his proper signature, nor did he ever give any
authority whatever to the said Henry Fauntleroy to dispose of the
said stock.-31r. Ooodchild signed his deposition.
Mr. FRISHFIELD next produced a warrant of attorney for
17,5001. Navy 6 per cents, and called C. E. Graham, who, as in the
former case, deposed to his having sold out this stock, under the
directions of 31r. Fauntleroy. The attesting witnesses to the
signatures of J. U. Hume and Henry Fauntleroy were, James Ty-
son and William Price, clerks in the banking-house ; and these I
depositior * vent, as on the turner occasions to say that. as re-
garded the signature of Mr. Fauntleroy, their attestation was
genuine, but talse as to that of Mr. Hume, whom they never saw
subscribe to any document.
Mr. Goodcluld again deposed as to the signature " John Good-
child," to this warrant of attorney, not being in his hand-writing.

signature they deposed to be in the hand-writing cf the prisoner.
Mr. Graham, when giving his deposition as to the sale of the Stock
under this last warrant or attorney, said,. that he had now to correct
himself, as to the fact of his having received this power of attorney,
as stated in the deposition, at the banking-house in Berner'e-street,
from Mr. launderer. Ile co;:k1 not positively say w:ietlr rhe re-
ceived the powerof attorney from Mr. Fauntleroy, ea from his broker
in the City, by the directions of Sir. Fauntleroy, but he vas sure
that one or other was the case; if, from Mr. Fauntleroy himself, he
certainly did receive it at the banking hi ; and if from a broker,
it mu; be mini either Mr. Simpson or Mr. Spurling, who must
lines accompanied him to make the transfer. Mr. Graham said,
that this alteration in his depositions applied to ail the other eases
on which he had before given his testimony.
These depositions were acconlingly altered by the clerk, and Mr.
Graham re-sworn to them.
