BILL AFFAIR.

FINAL EXAMINATION OF MR.
BEAUMONT SMITH, AT BOWr
STREET.
Yesterday being appointed for the final examination
(1). E. B. Smith, for the fOrgery of the Exchequer hills,
which has created 'such a sensation in the public mind,
he was conveyed, about two o'clock, to the Court in a
cabriolet, by the Governor of Tothill- fields ; and, after
a short delay, the witnesses not beit"s then in attendance,
he was introduced and placed at the bar.
Mr. Waddington, as counsel, and Mr. Maude, solicitor
to the Treasury, conducted the prosecution ; and Mr.
Martin, the barrister, with Mr. Walmesley, appeared
for the prisoner.
Mr. WADDINGTON having briefly stated the case, a
conversation took place as to the necessity of examining
the witnesses de now who had given evidence on the
two examinations at Whitehall, and it was ultimately
agreed upon that the depositions which had been then
taken should be read over, instead of examining the wit-
nesses again.
Mr. Burnaby then proceeded to rend the whole of the
evidence, as taken before the Chancellor of the Exche-
fuer, Sir R. Peel, and Sir James Graham, which is as
ollows ;---
" Mr. Monte, solicitor to the Treasury, stated, that on
the 25th of October he attended at the Exchequer-office
for the purpose of comparing a number of Exche-
quer bills, or, what appeared to him to be such,
with the counterfoils, to ascertain if each tal-
lied with each counterfoil, commencing with No.
6,404 and 6,405, with consequent numbers, the first
of which did not correspond, and the same was the
result with others. It was then suggested that a mis-
take might have been made with 6,404, and it was again
tried, but with the same result. Mr. Wood, Mr. Blake,
and the prisoner, were present, and as they were con-
versing, the prisoner said he wished to
.speak to witness
in private, and on their retiring to an adjoining room the
prisoner, who appeared to be much disconcerted, said he
had resolved to disclose the whole matter to witness, for
he had suffered great anxiety of mind, and he had con-
templated self-destruction. He had contemplated that re-
solution chiefly to make reparation to the public interest,
and he also assured witness thatno person in the office was
concerned in it but himself. He said, •I am the author of
all the mischief Witness said, •Do you mean to state
that you forged the bills ?' and he replied that he had
put the numbers on them, but another hand, he would
not disclose, had put the name. When comparing the
bills 6,404 and 6,405, witness asked if he had put the
numbers upon them, and he said he had, and that he
bad seen the name of Montea,7le subscribed to them. He
also said he put all the bills into the hands of Rapallo,
and had commenced such business in 1836, or six years
ago. Witness asked him if he knew for what amount
he had issued bills, and he said he could not tell, but it
was for a large amount, and that it was easily done, and
witness could have done it himself. He was asked how,
and he replied that he had a number of bills over and
above the issue which he used for the purpose, many of
which were given to Rapallo with the numbers only on
them, without the signature, and that sonic of them
might be still in Rapallo's hands. Mr. Wood was
called in, and being told what the prisoner stated, that
he was the author of the bills, lie was requested to
hear it from the prisoner himself. The prisoner then
repeated nearly the same statement; and witness told
him that he should prevent his leaving the office, and he
was subsequently given into the custody of Inspector
Partridge. The prisoner asked if he did say he could
not disclose the hand that put the name on the bills-, le_
stead of he should not, and witness replied it mieee be
so. Witness did not observe that he was excited, n,ere
was a leaf in the book of counterfoils that Appeared to
be the remainder of one torn out; and utian witness re-
marking it, the prisoner assisted in showing that it be-
longed to an adjoining leaf. Ile also showed that one of
the bills which a gentleman thought correspouded with
one of the counterfoils did not. From the time he saw
the prisoner until he retired with him,' he gave all as-
sistance to exumine the books and papers,"
Mr. Samuel James Wood, an accountant in the Ex-
chequer-office, who was called into tho room by the last
witness, after corroborating the principal part of his
evidence, said that the prisoner admitted having assisted in
the fabrication of many bills, that he had numbered them,
and that the signature was attached, but ho could not
say by whom ; and his impression was, that he pur-
sued it since 1836. He also named Rapallo, to whom he
had given them, and exonerated every person in the
establishment, as having any knowledge of them. He
said that Rapallo promised that the bills should be
redeemed before exchanging, in March and June ge-
nerally, and witness thought he said there were 100 first,
and then 50, at 1,0001. each. The bills examined before
going into the private room, belonged to De Berekani.
A discussion took place as to the propriety of taking
the evidence of Inspector Herring, who, Mr. Maule said,
was absent on business, by the direction of the Police
Commissioners, but Mr. Martin said he would have no
objection to allow it being read. It was as follows :
" He was in the station-house in Gardner's-lane, West-
minster, on the 25th October, and at nine o'clock, having
gone to the cell, and told the prisoner lie was the In-
spector on duty, and had been at the Chancellor's-office
in Downing-street, and at the Home-Wilco, the pri-
soner asked who was there, and he was told, Mr.
Hall and Sir James Graham. Ile then asked if
witness had seen Mr. Wood, and he replied he was
in Downing-street. The prisoner then said that he
was in much trouble of mind, and had been so for
some time, and hoped his wife would be able to stand it,
He said he had broached it to - her on Saturday, mind it
came upon. her like a clap of thunder; that the first
difficulty he had was lending his name for 1001. to
a friend, who came back, and he gave another bill in
his own name, which he either said had come back, or
he had borrowed money at an extraordinary interest;
that his difficulties• increased until that time to the
amount of 1,800/, and finding himself so awkwardly
-situated, having no money to recover himself, for to take
the benefit of act would be the loss of his shut-
tion, his friend advised him to get some Exchequer
bills, which.he did in an evil hour; they were blank bills
and 14,0001. were vested upon them. Witness remarked
that was a large sum, and he said it was, but it was
done to relieve him from his difficulties. He said his
friend promised the blank papers should be returned. He
then told him he had seen Levi at the Chancellor's.office,
and he asked what sort of a man lie was, and if lie was
in custody, for lie (Levi) had deposited 6,000/. worth
of bills, Witness observed that it was wonderful such
amount of bills could have gone into the market without
being detected, and the prisoner said it was almost impos-
sible to discover the forgeries, and that if these bills were
shuffled, he could pick out the black sheep; that the
money with which they had speculated had in al-
most every instance been lost; that they had speculated
largely in the British Iron-works previous to the Chan-
cellor's decision, which was contrary to what they had
expected, and it was done with a view to turn them-
selves round, but it went against them. The
prisoner also said there was .a gentleman named Ra-
pallo, but Mr. Maule took no notice of it. He said this
person had been engaged in the Bonaparte expedition to
France, when he too a boat to Boulogne, and he thanked
God he had failed. The friend he had mentioned in
the commencement of the discourse, was the same Ra-
pallo. The communication was made (lilac willingly,
and witness asked no questions, but let him go on, nor
did he urge him to make the statement. In answer to a
question by the prisoner, witness said the money ap-
peared to him to have been raised by the friend, and he
did not recollect, from anything the prisoner said, that
lie had participated in it further than to relieve him from
difficulties."
The prisoner was then cautioned, and he signed his
statement.
Mr. HILL said he was surprised the inspector should
have been sent out of the way when his presence was of
such impertance to sign his deposition, and answer any
questions that might be put to him, and he should nut
neglect to mention the circumstance in the proper
quarter.
William Marriner was then sworn, and examined by
Mr. WADDINGTON—He said he was Secretary to the
Mining Association, and resided at 26, Throgmorton-
street. He knew a person named Rapallo, a Genoese,
for three years, but had not transacted business with
him more than a year and four months. They were
often concerned in the British and Foreign Funds,
and to obtain money on Exchequer bills, he being
in the habit of giving witness a great quantity of
Exchequer bills to raise money on. Witness had handed
all the bills to Mr. De Berckam. The accounts respecting
the bills and other transactions with Rapallo were kept

chequer bills, and seeing some mention made or the preseEt
charge in the newspapers, he took 64 of 1,0001. to the
Exchequer-office, and finding that Barclay and Co. and
the Westminster Bank had duplicates, •he went with
them, but never heard of the prisoner until that day.
He also went to Mr. Mobier the broker, who knew sona-
th ing about them—found the numbers the satnea.nd the pr: •
sonar said it was his handwriting, and they.were gennint ,
but there was an error in issuing them, and several aer •
examined to sue if they would correspond. The -two
produced, however, were the only ones examined in his
presence.

Mr. Dudley Montague Percival, Assistant-Comptroller
in the Exehequer-office, stated that the Assistant was di-
rected by Act of Parliament, in the absence of the
Comptroller-Generel, to sign his name. According to the
mode in which Exchequer bills were prepare.., it was
quite impossible that two genuine bills of the same num-
ber. date, and value could be in the same issue. When he
said impossible, he meant that the precaution to carry it
into effect was as follows : When any series of bills were
brought to the Comptroller-General, or the Assistant,
to be signed, the book of duplicates is produced to either
of them fur that particular series in which the
number of hills is to be signed, the first and last as
of arithmetical series contained in that number, and
the title under which the particular issue is made,
with the value of the bills already entered, (Witness
here drew a plan on paper to explain more clearly his
evidence to counsel.) When the bills are brought to be
sined, they are noted in the presence of a clerk in
arithmetical series, and if no clerk is present when
signing is gone on, he is called in, and every leaf is
looked over and examined in the presence of the
person Signing., after which the signing officer signs
the book of record in the same line on which the
previous entries have been made, but in another
column. Another examining clerk signs his name
also on the column opposite in the same-book. The
date of the day on which the bills are signed is entered
in the extreme columns at the right and left, all the en-
tries being made in duplicate on the spot. As to the
counterfoil, every Exchequer bill is printed on duplicate
on a broad sheet of paper, a broad scroll running down
the middle of the sheet, on each side of which there are
three bills. The bills engraved on the left side are inten-
ded to be kept as a counterfoil, and are numbered
in regular order by a clerk in progressive and regular se-
ries. It is the duty of another clerk to number the bills
intended for issue, as each bill on the right hand and the
counterfoil hear the same number as the corresponding
bill on the left, and when the right hand bills are cut off
to be signed, issued, and stamped, care is taken to
cut through the scroll that a part may be left of the
counterfoil and issue. Witness compared the two bills
in question, and they corresponded in neither way. The
signature of "Monteagle," Nos. 6,404 and 6,405, was not
his, nor that of witness, he was certain. 'Witness identi-
fied various bills produced as having been signed by him,
and they corresponded with the counterfoil, and in other
respects.
Mr. WADDINGTON said that as that was the whole of
the evidence about to be offered, he thought the case
quite ripe for the committal of the prisoner on the charge
of forging and uttering the bills in question.
Mr. MARTIN asked if the prisoner would be again *sent
to the prison from whence he came ?
Mi.. HALL said, as far as he was concer:ica, there was
no doubt that the prisoner should be
and there was no necessit/ for , 'committed for trial,
fields Prison. sending him. to Tuthill-
' Mr. WADDINGTO:4 said it would be keeping up the
question u:lllv..,bsarily to remand the prisoner, and there
was.ll° el:eat hardship in sending him to Ncwgate.
rp.
-Lie prisoner being cautioned, and asked if he had any-
thing to say, declined making any defence, as the case
was in the hands of his legal adviser, but he refused to
sign the declaration.

The witnesses were then hound over in the sum of
1001. each, and after some conversation respecting the
improper conduct of Inspector Herring, in absenting
himself from the Court, the prisoner was removed from
the bar.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
WEDNESDAY, Nov. 3.—About ten o'clock on the night
of Tuesday, the 26th ult., as the Rose tender was lying
in Chale Bay, on the look-out for smugglers, a suspicious
sail was seen off St. Catherine's; they made fur it, a'd
thought they saw a number of tubs thrown into the sea,
and a boat put off with two hands in it ; they captured
her, and then boarded the strange vessel, which proved
to be a Frenchman, with six Frenchmen on board, five
of whom they took out, but the sixth, the captain, would
not leave the vessel. Captain M'Conochy put four hands
on board of her, ordered them to proceed to Cowes,
while he, in the tender, looked for the tubs. He suc-
ceeded in getting seventy-nine of them on board, and
then proceeded with them and his seven prisoners to
Cowes, where he expected to find his prize there ; but,
from that time to this, has not been so fortunate. Strange
stories are told about the French captain, who, •in diffe-
rent ports, is called French 'rem, French Harry, and
French John—and of the number of men he has killed
or thrown overboard ; and the general opinion is, that.
the first ncwsti of him and his vessel will be from a
French port.
The Tartar cutter's boat, which was washed on shore
in Chale Bay, the grew of which were supposed to have

Attila and the Agreeable colt were the only horses
bucked to any amount, and on neither did the outlay ex-
ceed 1001. The latter rose to (takers of) 50 to 1, and
the same odds would have been taken readily about
Scalteen. Moss Trooper joined the 40 to 1 division,
and appears likely to become a better favourite ; in this
class, however, very little doing. The room was badly
attended, and business flat.

Coma, or more properly Comma, because life does not
come to aJO step. In reality there remained r mucho
vitality in the periodical, that an effort of volition, and
the necessary manipulations on the part of the
