ALLEGED FRAUDS BY A SHAM
INSURANCE COMPANY.

Yesterday Wm. White, 41, a person having the appear-
ance of a working man, and described as an auctioneer,
residing in White-street, Borough, was brought before the
Lord Mayor, at the Mansion House, on a warrant, in
custody of Green, a detective officer, on a charge that he,
being a director of a certain public company, called " The
Manchester Insurance and Banking Company (Limited) "
unlawfully did publish a prospectus relating
to the , company, well knowing the same
to be false in a material particular with in-
tent to defraud.—Mr. George Lewis conducted the
prosecution, and said that the company in question was
registered among others by the prisoner. It pretended
to carry on business first at Southport, Lancashire ;
then in the City-road, London, and finally at 55, Cheap-
side. The object in taking an office there being, no
doubt, to lead the public to do business with them
under the impression that they were doing business
with a highly respectable company called the Man-
chester and Liverpool Insurance Company,' having
offices opposite Mr. Bennett's' clock. A pros-
pectus was , issued,. representing' that the company
had property worth £50,000, and several names were given
purporting to be .those of directors, but no addresses, ap-
peared, and in fact there were no directors at all, and the
whole business vSas carried on by! the prisoner and one or
two agents. The prisoner appeared' three times in the
prospectus, first as W. H. White, trustee, secondly as W.
H. Albus, a director, and lastly as John White, manager.
Evidence was given as to several insurances having
been effected with the company, principally by. poor
people, and in one case, where a fire occurred, the prisoner
would not pay the claim, and attempted to give the
claimant into custody for arson. A spice merchant's
porter deposed to being. employed to canvass for the com-
pany, and to obtaining insurances of the amount of £3,000
or £4,000. The furniture had been distrained for rent, but
had not been sold, the prisoner having actually applied to
the Court of Chancery for an injunction. At this stage the
case was adjourned till this day week, the Lord Mayor
remarking that the thing appeared to him to be so
monstrous as to be almost ridiculous.

It is stated that twenty-two arrests have been.
made at Leghorn. .
