their Report to the Stock Exchange at large.

tablentas placed in the centre of the house, and
four of the Committee placed themselves On it.—
Mr. I.4AuitEscE read the Report, which, after a
concise exordlinn of the motives which induced

the Committee to take up the basiuess, and to

endeavour to noint out the authors, proceeded to
state, that they were happy to say that not the
least suspicion attached to any member of that

body, as being concerned in so scandalous a trans—
action, and which would, its proved OA any indi-
vidual,' bare produced his certain expulsio❑ frOrn
the Society. It then stated the evidence of the

post-ooy, named Shelling, who drove the pre-
tended Colonel Du .1:30U RGH, mentioning all the
particulars that have already transpired relative
to the imposition, stating that BUONAPARTE was
dead, &c. also of Crane, the haekueyeoach-

man, who drove the Colonel to No. 13, Green-

street, Grosvenor-square, after lie was set clown

at the Marsh-Gate, Lambeth.

The evidence of Sayer, the Bow-street officer,
who was employed to learn out who the house in
Green-street was occupied by, stated, that a Mr.
DURRAND quitted it on the 12th of February, and
let it Burnished to Lord CG:AIRANE, the Hon.
COCHRANE JOHNSTONE, and Mr. BUTT, who carne
in on the 13th of February, and occasionally met
there several times previous the Colonel Do
Booßon arriving—that on the Colonel's arriving,
he inquired for a particular name, and was told he
was gone to breakfast in Cumberland-street, to
which be instantly repaired.
MI. LAWRENCE then stated, that he went to
Messrs. BOND and Co. Bankers, in Exchange-
alley to endeavour to trace sonic Bank-notes paid
away by the Colonel in his passage up, and four
of N. each were traced to have been taken out of
the Bank about one or two o'clock on Saturday,.
the 19th of February, but they said it was diffi-
cult for then) to trace.one-pound !notes, as it was
but seldom they took the particulars.
Mr. FEARN's evidence was next read over. He
stated that he latterly had been in the habit of
doing business in the Funds for Lord COCHRANE,
COCHRANE JOHNSTONE, and Mr. BLITT ; that be
alwaysundeistood that what businesS •he did • for
Mr. BUTT was to be placed to Lord COCHRANE'S
account ; that on the 21St of February, which
was the day the fraud was put in, practice, he
sold for

Lord Cochrane L. 1.19,000 Omnium.
'Cochrane Johnstone 1'20,000 Oinniuin,
Fin Ditto • - 100,000 Consols..
Mr. I3utt - 124,000.0ainium,
For Ditto - • 168,000 Consols.
That be was desired to sell them for the first ac- 1
count day in cash, but not to sell them for mo-
ney ; that he was surprised to find that _Lord
COCHRANE and Mr. BUTT bad taken an office for
him (FEARN) in Shorter's-court, Throgmorton-
street, without his knowledge, where they used to
meet him and give their orders.
Mr. PITCHES. another Broker's • evirleßee was
neat read. it stated that ha was too ill-to at-
tend ; but to a Mr. WAKEFIELD, one of the COM-
mittee, who waited on him, he declared, that he
had sold for Lord COCHRANE, C. JOHNSTONE, and
Mr. BUTT, about 565,000/. Omnium.
A Mr. SMALLBoNEE, another Broker, had sold
-40,000 t. C-uuium for Lord C. and 40,0001. for
Mr. Burr.
A Mr. RICHARDSON, a Bookseller, bad been
applied to, to sell for the above parties a very
huge sum, but refused, on account of his not be-
ing willing to be responsible for such a stun.
Mr. CHRISTIAN, Clerk to Mr. FEARN, the Stock
Broker, unwillingly at first, but afterwards con-
' fessed, that he had changed a 501. note, obtained
by a check of 751. of Mr. FEARN'S, on Messrs.
BOND, the Bankers, fur one pound notes, on Sa-
turday the 19th February, tour of which one
pound notes were paid away by colonel Du
ROURGH. When further interrogated, he said the
notes obtained for the 751. check of FEARN'S, was.
on account of. Mr. BUTT.
Mr. SANDON, of Northtleet, one of the persons-
who came from Northtleet, in • the post-chaise,
had appeared before the• Committee, nad given
them some information, but protested his inno-
cence as to being concerned in the fraud.
A Mr. APRAF., it seemed, was a distressed 'per-
son, who had previous to the plan taking place,
• mentioned that such a scheme might be done.
A variety of other matter came forth, after

which,
SPICER moved the thanks of the Stock Ex-
change to the Sub.-Committee, for their great
exertions and zeal in endeavouring to trace this
foul transaction, which was carried unanimously.
Mr. DAVID RICARDO then in a very animated
speech stated that the Stock Exchange generally
labbured under all the opprobrium of any foul
transaction, when in fact they ‘vere the chief per-
sons injured by such nefarious practices. lie
:bought the investigation could not be made too
public, as it might operate so as to \deter any
other desperate character* from trying similar at-
tempts. He therefore ttiored that the whole of
the Report might be printed, which motion was
seconded by Mr. Bisll, and carried unanimously.
