MR. FAUNTLEROY'S FINAL EXAMINATION.
MA.RI.IIOItOHOH.STItEET.—The final arrangetnent4eforthe
committal of this Gentleman being on Monday completed, a
communication to that effect was sent to. Mr. CONANT, the
committing Magistrate, and in the course of that. electing airer
tions were given to 'Mr. Vickery, the keeper or the flOuse of
Correction, to apprize the prisoner of his contemplated removal
for examination to this office, and thence, consequently, to New..
gate. This intimation was received by Mr.fatintleroy with-
out 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
prosecution, that on his next examination notices would be sent
to some of the principals of eminent banking and
scoturnereial
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 otter business.
On the Bench tat Mr. lIERRIES, Sir. T. FARQUHAR, Mr.
WILLIAMS, Alr. YOUNG, Sir GEonax F.tnItANT, Lord
ItocitronT. and several other Gentlemen of the commercial
world.

The private room was also full of Gentlemen, amontrwhom
were the Governor, Doputy Governor, and two or three Pro-
prietors of the Bank of England.

Mr. CONAN T, at one o'clock, intimated to some Gentlemen
that the prisoner would not be examined until half-past two
o'clock, and then the proceeding would merely be the usual re-
gular proceeding of committal to Newgate; but it was alSo
understood that Mr. Freshfield intended to advance two other
charges, of the fraudulent transfer of Stock to a very large
amount. Mr. Freshfield and two of his clerks were busily
occupied 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 im-
mediately was ushered into his presence.
The nature of the conference, which. lasted some minutes,
was on the subject of the accused person, and the Gentle-
man chewed a paper to the Magistrate, finally requesting an
order of admission to the House of Correction to see Mr.
Fauntleroy.
The MwoISTRATE said, he would be in the office before he
could get there. However, we understand the Gentleman suc-
ceeded in the object of his application. At one o'clock,
Plank, Schofield, and Clements left the Office, and in a short
time after i hacknei-coach drove up in which were these offl-
,.
errs and the prisoner ; tne aoor was instantly thronged by 'per-
sons whom curiosity to see him had collected.
He alighted, and on seeing the crowd seemed rather agitated.
He leaned on Plank's arm as he walked to the strong room.
He iturdressed as at the last examination. His appearance

presented a most extraordinary change in point of health and
spirits during the short time that has elapsed since his last ex.
amination. He presented rather n ghastly, than a living hue
upon his countenance, and altogether exhibited the appearance
and expression of tine who had lately suffered intense mental
anguish. His eyes seemed languid and heavy, without any of
that lustre that brightened them when we last saw him. He
seemed, during the progress of the examination, totally ab-
sorbed in thought, and almost unconscious of what was going.
on. Ile never once changed his position, or the direction of
his face, which was towards the office-door ; nor did he fur a
moment look towards the Bench, nor give any sign of atten.
tion to what wssi guilt on around him, beyond a general obei-
sance in entering the office.
He was attended by Messrs. HARMER and FORBES as his
professional advisers.
At half-past two o'clock the examination commenced.
Mr: Freshfield, on the part of the Bank, intimated that he
had two fresh cases against the prisoner. He said that these
were not brought forward upon the ground that there was not
sufficient already for Mr. F.'s final commitment: but the Go-
vernors of the Bank of England thought it but fair to the pri-
'toner to put him in possession of every ease that might possibly
be brought against him at the Sessions.
Colonel Thomas Lyster was then called. Ile prove that
6,0441.135. M. was placed in the Four per Cents. Consolidated
Long Annuities, to the witness's account, about the year 1816,
and the prisoner and Messrs. Graham and Co. were appointed
to receive the dividends, &c. and that the power of attorney
produced, signed by the prisoner himself, and the other trus-
tees, dated lOth December, 1819, was not authorised by him,
and his name was forged to that document. The Colonel said
he had come over from Ireland to ascertain the fact.
Jedediah Kerie, late of Bath, and now of Montagu-square,
London, was next sworn. Ile deposed .that the siimature
of
his name, as attesting witness to the above power, was not his
hand writing.
Mr. FRESTIFIELD said, the other Kubseribing witness, Miss
Eliza Fauntleroy, being the prisoner's sister, he would not call
her. Indeed no apology was necessary

The power of attorney was purported

ford, in Ireland.
The usual proof by the Clerks of the Bank of Messrs. Gra-
ham, Stracey, and Co., and the Bank of England, of the names
of Mr- Kelly and the other subscribing witness, Miss Elizabeth
Fauntletoy, 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. This latter point was proved by Mr. Hut-
chinson, Clerk in the Four per 'ent. Consols Office. .
Mr. FRESLIFIELD stated that this case was completed, as
far as he had evidence to adduce. The next case related to the
transfer of of ANL long annuities standing in the name of John
Griffiths, of Collins Bircomb, in Devonshire.
Mr. Skelton, Clerk in the Long Annuities Office, at the Bank,
proved having received instructions to make out a power of at-
torney for the sale of this 600/._ _ _

as witness, and that the demand to act on the back of the power,
werea,
ri.n the ewn handd writing tithneg of
of England, proved the actual
transfer upon this poWer of attorney, on June 14, 1823.
This being the whole of the evidence intended to be pro-
duced on the. part of the prosecution, the witnesses were now
called over by name in succession as they had been sWOrri;
and, after signing their depositions, were bound over, each in
a penalty 01401. to prosecute at the next Sessions at the Old
Bailey.
.
The prisoner was now about to be removed from the Office,
when Mr. Fonars, one of the (lentlernen who are conducting
the prisoner's defence, said, that he would request the indul.
,genre of having the, prisoner still allowed to remain at the
House of Correction until the general moving-day ; not, Ms.
Forbes said, so much on the prisoner's own account, as for the
advantage of many of his ftiende, who had much business of
importance still unarranged with him, and also far the more
convenient access of the prisoner's legal advisers; neither of
which objects could he so conveniently attained in Newgate.
Mr. Coxasyr said, that it was not regular or customary to
allow such an indulgence; at the same time that he felt quite
convinced of the prisoner's being as secure in the House of
Correction as he could be in any prison in England. He (Mr.
Conant) did not know if there were any other charges to be
preferred against the prisoner; he understood there Was an in-
tention on the part of sonic Public Institution that had suf-
Ored to come forward.
Mr. FUVIIIIFILLD said, that on the part of the Bank of Eng-
land, he could say, they had entirely closed ; it was not
fari-
tended by that Body.to bring forward any other case, or call
any other examination of the prisoner. .As to any char •
front any .other (Pater, or the circumstance alluded to y
the Magistrate, he (Mr. Frei:Wield). knew nothing of it;--
and he would further add, that the plank. of England did not-
consider that they were hound, nor indeed had any right to in-
terfere, as hatl.been hinted at, respecting the place in whicli the,
prisoner should be confined. They had done their duty, and

they: would. leave,the-Nlagistrate to do,his, which they &At per...
feetly satisfied ne would discharge with the same justice and,,
propriety that he had hitherto done. 'Alt the- Bankliskect Tot.
