EXAMINATION OF KENT-IMPORTANT
LETTERS.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
(Prom the Morning Ch,ron;cle)
The amount of the frauds committed by Leopold
Redpath, the registrar in the transfer office of the
Great Northern Railway Company, will, there is
reason to believe, bej very considerable, but perhaps
not to the extent of even the lowest estimate cur-
rently reported. We are not at all surprised at
this act of rascality, and we can only wonder at the fact
of such a person ever having received so responsible an
appointment. We think, had the directors, before they
placed so great an amount of trust in his hands, taken care
to inquire more fully into his previous career, they would
have discovered that his antecedents were not such as ren-
dered it at all desirable to confer the management of so
large an amcuut of capital upon one who had previously
victrmisect his creditors by means of false and specious
representations. How the directors could have been se
grossly misled to attach such weight to his assumed
honesty and presumed wealth is most inconceivable.
Still more surprising is it that when, some time
back, a deputation from the Stock Exchange waited
upon them, pointing out the extravagant mode of
life pursued by Leopold Redpath upon a small sa-
lary, not exceeding 3001. per annum, and the question
was put plainly as to whether such proceedings were
compatible, they should have received the communica-
tion with such an amount of incredulity. They pooh-
poohed the doubt and caution of the members of the
Stock Exchange who brought the subject to their notice,
with the assurance that "All was right." Now that
this gigantic swindle has been perfected, and this
name of the perpetrator is found associated with
luxurious living, good society, works of charity,
&c., the question has been asked—Who was Leopol
Redpath 1 No one appears to know, and it would
evidently be folly to apply to the directors of the
Great Northern Railway Company. As some in-
terest is naturally felt in a man who could palm him
self off for attributes and means he never possessed,
a slight sketch of his previous career may no
be without utility. Leopold Redpath, some eighteen
or twenty years ago, was clerk to Messrs. Wilcox
and Anderson, then the owners and managers of
the line of steamers to the Peninsula and Mediter-
ranean, with mails from her Majesty's Post-office.
lie left their employment shortly before the service
became so extensive that it was found expedient
to organise the Peninsular and Oriental Steam.
Mr. Redpath then attempted to establish himself
in business as a seller of steam-vessels, but after
contracting debts which he never paid, he suddenly
disappeared, and would seem to have retired to a
very private life. He next makes his appearance in
want of employment, and something else, not ex-
pressed in words ; and suddenly becomes trans-
ferred into the registrar of the Great Northern
Railway, greatly to the surprise of some persons
who knew him. He quickly became a pike
amongst the minnows, and the rest is known.
Having given this slight sketch, we should like to
know if the directors of the Great Northern Rail-
way Company can inform us from whom, and from
whence, Leopold Redpath derived his presumed
wealth, otherwise than from the exercise cf his in-
genuity and penmanship in the transfer-book of the
company ! There is, however, another point to which,
before closing these comments, we desire to direct
attention. How any sensible men, much less those
accustomed to business, could have been content
to pay, over and over again, a much larger amount in
the shape of dividends than was requisite is ac
cordance with the capital stock of the company,
without becoming suspicious of some irre.,,ularity,
er instantly instituting an investigation into such
an unaccountable mystery, is to us even more in-
conceivable than their disbelieving or disregarding
the doubts expressed by the Stock Exchange. If
etas is the way the directors of the Great Northern
Railway Company superintend the interests of the
shareholders the sooner they are changed the
better. Really so much negligence and indifference
to their duty has been shown lately by directors that
it would seem they consider themselves nothing more
than mere useless machines, so far as the shareholders'
interests are concerned, or else as placed in their posi-
tion for the sole purpose of appropriating the " pick•
ing" which such a station throws in their way.

Jas. Chas. Comyne Kent, ' a respectably dressed man,
aged 27, of No. 42, Gloucester-row, Holloway, was
brought up in the custody of Sergeant Mulvany, 8 S,
described on the police-sheet as a clerk at the Great
Northernfail way, who had a private hearing before Mr.
Tyrwhitt on Wednesday, charged with forgery and
fraud at see Great Northern Railway.
The prisoner seemed to treat the matter lightly.
Mr. Humphreys, who appeared for the prosecution,
asked that the case might be heard in private, as if
taken in public it might defeat the ends of justice.
Mr. Tyrwhitt acceded to the application, and the re-
portersthe
were informed that they could only be admitted
hearing on their promising that the case should
