tague, bullion dealers, Cornhill—They keep an account at
the Union Bank. They never sent a sum of £5OO or £l,OOO
in gold to be changed for notes. If such transactions had
taken place, it would certainly have been entered in the
book I have in my hand. It is not, however, the book of
the firm. It is merely one to show the balance I commence
-vith and close each day.
By Mr. Lewis—The cashiers at the bank always con-
sulted Mr. Pullinger about changing a large amount of
gold for notes. I have seen cashiers go to consult him.
_

Mr. IL Sprole (a clerk in in. the accountant's office of
the Eastern Counties Railway) said—lt was my dity to
send the money of the Eastern Counties Railway to the
Union Bank. The clerk would take with him a book which
the bank clerk would initial into the sum paid in. On
April 27 I sent £3,721 12s. Bd. I did not in that exchange
£1,600 of gold for notes. I sent a person namod .Lumley,
he returned with the book initialed " E. L."

[The book was handed to Mr. Barton, but he could not
speak with certainty as to their being in Lyttleton's hand-
writing. Mr. Gomm, however, said it was.]
Mr. Sheldon—On April 25, 1859, Pullinger owed me
£5OO. He paid me in one bank note. I paid that money
into Messrs. Masterman's bank. That was the only sum
of money I paid in that way. On the 27th I received
£2,500 from Pullinger—£l,ooo in the morning, and £1,500
in the afternoon. The £l,OOO I gave to a member of the
Stock Exchange who was fidgetty about the account. The
£1,500 I paid into my bankers. I received the sum in two
£l,OOO Bank of England notes, and one for £5OO. Mr.
Uzielli is the name of the gentleman to whom I paid the
£l,OOO.

Mr. G. Bloor (clerk to Mr. Uzielli, stock-broker)—On
April 27, 1859, Mr. Sheldon paid me a £l,OOO note for Mr.
Uzielli, it was numbered 85,778. I did not take the date. It
was paid into Mastermax's bank to Mr. Uzielli's account.
Mr. Wynn (clerk in Masterman'sUnk) said—Mr. Shel-
don kept an account there. On April 25, 1859, he paid in
£5OO. It was a Bank of England note, marked A. L., and
numbered 37,954. I also received the sum of £1,500 in two
notes—one for £l,OOO, marked A. E. 85,745, and the other
for £5OO, marked a A. L. 38,610.

•
Mr. Giffard said that was the case against the prisoners.
Mr. Lewis put it to fly Lord Mayor whether any case
had been made out against his client Lyttleton.
The Lord Mayor said there was nothing for him to detain
Lyttleton on the charge, neither had there been any collu-
sion proved between him and Pullinger. He perhaps
might have been indiscreet in paying so large a sum as has
been mentioned, but indiscretion was not a crime.
The Chief Clerk—There is another charge against Lyt-
tleton.

Mr. Lewis—So I believe, but I don't know whether it
will be proceeded with.
The charge having been read over to Pullinger,
The Lord Mayor asked him what he had to say in answer
to it.

Pullenger said—l am guilty, my lord. I have nothing
;o say.

Mr. Giffard said that the evidence in the next case was
not any stronger, and after the observations of the Lord
Mayor he should not feel justified in proceeedin,g with the
other charges against Lyttleton.
Mr:Lewis—The position in which my client has been
placed has been vcrf unjust. For fifteen years he had been
in the service of the bank, and during the whole of that
time he had conducted himself with the greatest honour
and honesty. His books have been carefully examined,
and not a single false item had been discovered.
The Lord Mayor having complimented Mr. Le Nis on the
manner in which he had conducted the case for his client,
said he must be allowed to observe that the bank authorities
had been justified in taking the steps they had done, as
they had a duty to perform to their shareholders and the
public. With respect to Mr. Lyttleton he left the court
without the slightest blemish on his character. The con-
duct of Pullinger in exerting himself to clear Lyttleton
from any suspicion that attached to him was also worthy
of praise, and it proved he had still some good qualities
left.

Lyttleton was then released from custody, and left the
justice room with his friends, and Pullinger was taken be-
low. It may be added that before he was conveyed to New-
gate ho sent up a message to our reporter requesting a
public statement that he has done his utmost to atone for
his crime by assigning everything he had in the world to
the Union Bank, leaving his wife without a bed of her own
to lie upon, and without any other clothes than those in
which she was dressed at the time.

It is understood that no other charges will be brought
against him, his plea of " guilty" being amply sufficient for
the purposes of justice.
