MORE EXTRAORDINARY DISCLOSURES.
FRIDAY NlGHT.—Since the examination before the
police magistrate at the Clerkenwell Court, of which we
have presented a report, facts have come to the know-
ledge of the police, which have undergone a strict inves-
tigation, and which render still more mysterious and
still more appalling the gigantic frauds which have been
perpetrated by Mr. Leopold Redpath on the Great

Northern Company.
An hour or two after the examination at the Clerks
enwell Police-court, and when Mr. Redpath had been I
moved to the House of Detention on the magistrate's
remand, Mr: Superintendent 'Axton, _ of the Albany
section of the metropolitan police, received peremp-
tory orders from the Secretary of State to proceed
at once to Weybridge, and take possession of a louse
and estate which Mr. Redpath had in that town.
On the arrival of the superintendent at Weybridge,
he instituted the necessary inquiries, and then pro-
ceeded to a large and elegant mansion, nearly oppo-
site to the parish church, called Messelingtonshouse,
which he ascertained was Mr. Redpath's freehold,
be having purchased it a few years ago, together with
the extensive grounds by which it was surrounded. In
this mansion he found that ten servants were engaged,
including, in addition to the ordinary class of domestics,
a fisherman, who kept his punt on the river (Weybridge
being a fishing station), a coachman, and a courier, who
was specially employed to accompany Mr. Redpath on
his continental travels. To his cook he paid 301. a year,
and the other on a scale of equal liberality. Here, too,
the superintendent met Mrs. Redpath, who was in a
cheerful state of mind, and inquired about the expected
return of her husband in a manner which clearly showed
that she knew nothing of the frightful fi ands for which
he is now a prisoner in the hands of justice. It was the
melancholy duty of the superintendent to communicate
to her the aflicting intelligence of the fate of her hus-
band, when she became frightfully depressed, and fainted.
Fortunately Redpath has no children to whom to be-
queath the memory of his appalling crimes.
When the superintendant searched the house he found
that it was furnished in a style of the greatest splendour.
Pictures by first-rate artists, jewellery of the most costly
de•cription, plate in the greatest abundance, were found;
while the dresses of Mrs. Redpath were so numerous that
it is said a large cart would be insufficient to carry them
away. Some documents, too, of an important character '
were fund, bearing particularly upon the charges made
against the prisoner, but their contents have not, of
course, been allowed at present to transpire. The wh-le
of the furniture of the house has been sealed up with the
official seal of the police, and an ample reort has been
forwarded to Sir George Gray. Meanwhile Mr. Soper
intendent Loxten has left a body of policsein possession
of the house. It may be mentioned that ie the stables ad-
joining the house there were found four horses, a
brougham which cost 180 guineas, a basket carriage, a
fishing punt, and other articles which were calculated to
contribute to the gratification of the most luxurious
