kave moan him altogether about half.a-dozen times, but
olways in reference to the petition.
Mr. Deasy—You state that your name is Parr.
Were you ever called by any other name
Witness—Never except my huebaud'e and my own,

namely, Parr and Ryan.
Mr. Deasy—You do business in the name of Ryan
and Co. !
Witness—Yes.

•
Mr. Deasy—Did you, or a friend of yours, ever
threaten to publish a memoir with respect to any gentle-
man I

Witness—Never.
Mr. Deasy—Did you ever demand any money for
withholding the publication.
witness--Never. _ _ _

Mr. Deasy—Were you ever threatened with prosecu-
tion, if you or .your friends entered on such a publication!
Witness—fever. In regard to this matter, the
witness explained that once she met a lai!y an a packet
and was informed she was not a proper p• reon. This lady
came to her house and read a long document, wlich she
imprudently mentioned to a friend of her's, a member
of Parliament and a member of the Government, who
imprudently mentioned it again. She proceeded to say
that a gentleman named Hawke had called upon her
with regard to the paper alluded to, but she did not
know that it was in reference to any threatened publica-

tion. Mr. Hawke did not threaten a prosecution
against her, and she did not know that he held out a
threat of that descriptio% the lady referred to. The
document was left for a long time with her. Her friend
the member of Parliament took it away with her per-
mission, and showed it to a barrister in the Temple. The
document was highly defamatory, bringing the names
of some persons of the highest distinction in England in
question. It detailed a series of conversations alleged
to have taken place. She said she intended publishing
it. In the document it was stated that she had
paid a barrister 350 guineas as a fee to bring an acti,m
in her behalf against a distinguished person for breach of
promise of marriage, as it was on that gentleman's be-
half that that gentleman called. The witness went on
to say that she could disprove the insinuations cast upon
her, by the evidence of certain members of Parliament
and other persona of distinction, and if the line of exa-
mination was persisted in she hoped she should be
allowed to call them. (Laughter.)
Cross-examination continued—l never saw Mr. Edwin
James, Q C., on the subject of the publication. I know
Mrs. Coffey. That lady recently called at my house to
inquire whether Mr. Coffey was there. Mr. Coffey was
staying there. Mr 4. Coffey cumtititted to ring the bell so
violently that I was compelled to say to her that if she
did not come up stairs I should be compelled to do
something that was disagreeable.
Mr. Deasy—l wish this cross-examination to close, in
order to produce Mr. Hawke.
Sir J. Graham—Did Mr. Butt ever mention to you
his arrangement with the Ameer.
Witness—He said when he came back from India he
should be a wealthy man, and that when he bad finished
this business of the Atneer s, he should get the business
of other Indian princes, and thus obtain great wealth.
He said he had used his influence in Parliament, and
:tad been very successful in obtaining a compromise in
favonr of Ali Moored from Mr. V. Smith.
Sir J. Graham—Are you certain he mentioned Par-
lian3entary influence ?
Witness—Quite sore.
By Mr. Sergeant Kinglake—l know that Mr. Coffey
had stated that if it was necessary he would detain the
Ameer, but I have never heard him say that he
would take him back to England if a hint was given.
A banker's clerk proved the payment of certain
cheques drawn by the Ameer, but could not say to whom
the money was given.
The committee then adjourned until twelve o'clock
4-morrow.

TRIAL OF THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK

DM ECTORS.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, GUILDHALL.
(Sitting at Nisi Prius, before Lord Campbell and a

Speoial Jury.)
VIE QUEEN V. BROWN AND OTHERS.
ELETINTEE DAT.
Tlio following appeared in succeseive editions of The Sun

0.-yesterday :
The trial of the information against the directors and
manager of the Royal British Bank for conspiring by
false pretences to defraud the shareholders and cgs-
tomera and the public, was this day resumed.
The same counsel appeared as before.
Mr. E. James, Q.C., addressed the jury on the part of

Mr. Eodaile. He said—lt devolved on him, 1%4 eounse

for Mr, Esdaile, to addrese them on his I ehalf, with a
view of directing their attention to the evidence of the
prosecution, as applying to that gentleman's ease in
contradistinotion to the other defendants, and to point out

as he hoped satisfactorily that though Mr. Esdaile may
have acted improvident, too credulous, and too sanguine,
he had not acted criminally. That was the distinc-
tion he wished them to draw on a calm and impartial
consideration of his case, and to say by their verdict that
his conduct was dictated by a desire to retrieve the

interests of the bank, and not of defrauding any
one ; for until the last moment, when the ship
went down, he was at the helm endeavouring to take
her safe into port. Mr. Esdaile might have been wrong
in some instances is the course he had suggested, bat
he had never acted fraudulently or guilty. They Nero
now arriving at that period when their verdicts would
solve this great question, and when he asked them to
step to soate extent between, he would not sty urine.
Wally, the public indignation roused against these
gentlemen whe were now sitting before them by the
public journals in designating them as swindlers to the
whole civilised world, and discriminate between a tlo
sanguine, and it may be a careless dealing with the bank
and criminality of conduct. It was incumbent on the
prosecution to make out a clear case, and it was the
wish of himself and his client to take a manly and
straightforward course on this occasion. Mr. Ei-
della, however, had no desire to shelter him-
self behind the back of any director with whom he had
been associated, but to take upon himself the responsi-
bility of his own acts. At the same time it was essen-
tial for them to consider when they were called upon to
say whether any, and if so, who, were guilty, what part
each had taken in the transactions which it is alleged
shows conspiracy. Mr. Esdaile was a gentleman well
known in the pity. He was in partnership with his
father at the city saw-mills ; and his uncle wag, if not
the founder of the London and Westminster Bank, an

early originator and supporter of that thriving concern,
Mr. Esdaile joined the Royal British Bank is 1849
on its first formation, and there could be no doub
the bank suffered from a want of sufficient capi
tal, a difficulty which probably they were aware
had befallen the earliest days of some of our now most
nourishing concerns in the kingdom. The London
and Westminster Bank commenced their business with
a paid np capital of 50.0001. ; the London Joint Stock
Bank, 60,0001. ; the Union, 210,000/. ; and the London
and County, 35,0001. ; but as they were established
before the passing of Peel's act in 1844 they were liable
to no restrictions, and could call up their capital as they
required it. The Royal British Bank were unable, iu
consequence of the above ant, to increase their capital
beyond 100,000/. without obtaining a supplemental
charter, so that the bank was trading from the time it
opened in 1849 to 1855 upon a narrow and cramped
capital whichparalysed its exertions, and made the struggle
the more severe ; but a struggle was usual in young con-
cerns, and the millionaire of to-day had had to struggle
against "lock-ups," and he doubted if there was a bank-
ing establishment or a large mercantile firm that had not
had large debts and claims which it was absolutely
essential that they should nurse, in the hope of re riev-
ing their position and removing a clog from their necks ;
and he should like to know whether the London and
Westminster Bank, if they had had a debt of 250,0001.
"lock-ep," would have stated it in an abstract of the
.balance-sheet. Mr. Ca,neron's p., cur, the learned
counsel said, was omnipotent in the bank, and the fact
had been most fully shown that the directors were
his creatures and his tools, and that he was the man
who pulled the strings of the puppets, Mr. Cameron,
he had said, was omnipotent, and discounted bills at
pleasure that never went before the directord, Ttie
appointment of a finanee committee was a mere farce,
and Mr. Cameron must have laughed in his sleeve at the
prospect that whilst the finance committee was titting
up stairs for the purpose of examining bills for discount
he was discoanting bin and his friends' bills at his plea-
sure. He reminded the jury that the conspiracy was
said to have been eommittesi in 1855 and 1856. At the
early part of 1855, Mr. Cameron wee away from illnese,
and in consequence of that Mr. Esdaile became general
manager, when the Eret thing he did was to make a
searching investigation int* the sinks of the bank, and
what he and his brother directors did to retrieve its posi-
tion, and which induced Mr. Cameron and Mr. Brows
to leave the bank, was brought against him to prove con-
spiracy. The learned gentleman referred to the kooks pis
system of Scotch banking, which had the effect of mysti-
fying every one, and the instruction that Mr. Cameron
gave to one of the clerks, not to supply information
to any of the directors, and called upon the jury to
discriminate between imprudent conduct and guilt. Mr.
Esdaile had lost everything, and if he had had a crimi-
nal intent he would have no doubt protected himself.
Mr. Slade, Q C., addressed the jury for Mr. Owen.
The' learned counsel said that Mr. O wen, after
20 years babour as a humble tradesman, had acquired
a competency, which he was induced, through Mr.
Mullets, his private solicitor, to embark in the
Royal Bri fish 'Bank, and the result was that Mr.
Owen had been deceived. That gentleman when he
took hie seat, at the board found hiat,elf surrounded by
M.P.'s and me u of high standing in the commercial
world, and cons idering the omnipotence of Mr. Cameron,
it was not to. Tbe wondered at that Mr, Owen was in•

to guard themselves against prejudices, that had been
most unfairly raised against Mr. Brown. He could not
believe from whatever source it arose, it would have the
effect of preventing justice being done him by a fair and
impartial investigation of hie case, and he was buoyed
up with the hope that when these prejudices were pointed
outand explained he should not find the approaches to their
reason entirely closed against his client's answer. The
learned gentleman then entered into the details of the evi-
dence relative to his transactions, and compared them
with the date of his commercial transaction. which, he
said, showed that the bank was at all t tees amply secured

of a very ancient Scotch family, and his father had for
years represented in Parliament the county of Res,.
Re was a young man, and moreover a barri ter,
when he hewne connected with the Royal British Bank
he was unacquainted with banking transaotiens, and his
connection with the bank arose from hi marrying Mr.
Cameron's daughter. When he joined the bank, its
affairs were represented to him as being most flourishing,
and seeing the batik surrounded with all the appliance•
of affluence and solidity, he believed it ti be in a solvent
state. The consequence was that, believing in the
truthfulness of the assertions of the father of his newly
wedded wife, he invested 6,009 i. in the bank, and tool,
his seat at the board. It was the most absurd thing
impale to charge Mr. 111.`Leod as being a conspirator,
for to be a conspirator to defraud the members of the
bank was to defraud himself. The learned gentleman
referred to the evidence that had been adduced on the
part of the prosecution to establish the charge of con-
spiracy to defraud, and contended it had entirely failed; its
tendency, if not its proof, being that Mr. M`Leod had
assiduously attended to the discharge of his duties for
the general benefit of the shareholders and depositors
in the Royal British Bank.
Mr. D. Seymour then rose to address the jury on
behalf of Mr. Cameron. He said they were now
apps aching the last scene of this eventtul and
extraordinary trial, and it would soon be their
duty to pronounce, by their solemn verdict, whether
the Crown had made out the charge that the
several defendants combined together, and conspired
together in an unholy league for the detestable object of
publishing false statements and entrap the unwary, or
whether it was not a case in which a distinction should
be drawn between criminality and too sanguine hopes
If every counsel who had addressed the jury had ex-
pressed their sensibility of the responsibility under which
they were placed, and to ask from them their conside-
rate and calm indulgence, it was he (Mr. D. Seynaoiir)
who had most cause to ask fur that indulgence. His
was, indeed, a painful task, for he had to defend
a man who, from the commencement of the bank to its
stoppage had been the single object against whom every
attack bad been made, and in whose single person was
crowded together calumny and suspicion by those
who, instead of confronting the evidence by fair argu-
ment, had, up to the last moment, attempted to vindicate
themselves, and ffteot their deliverance by the sacrifice
of his client. He complained of Sir F. Thesiger !same
introduced in his opening statement charges against Mr
Cameron of fraud that only existed in the learned gen-
tleman's brief, and which had produced a sensation in
every one who heard it stated They would recollect
how he spoke of that unhappy man (Mr. Brunton)
having been induced by Mr. Cameron to
withdraw his savings, and invest them in
this bank, on the ground that it was as safe
as the Bank of England, but where was Brunton, and
why had he not been called} It was a point that was
much dwelt on, and when he (Mr. D. Seymour) heard it
that day for the first time, he confessed be trembled for
the safety of his client, but the case was 0v...r now, at d
this moving story had turned nut to be a nullity. There
was something however in it, aed that wa-, ,o show the
jury how much care was necessary to draw a Oistinctim.
between prejudice and proof. He bad also to complain
of every counsel, from Sir F. Kelly (except Mr. S-rgertut
Shee) downwards, having either by an open charge er
by inuendo thrown the responsibility from the -nett id a
of their respective clients to those of Mr. Cameron a.
then referred to the course of banking that bad
pursued, and iu reference to Mr. Cameron dieceuetle,
tells, said that by the charter a discretienary ,;ewer was
invested in the managing director to discount bids aft- r
the finance committee had left, teed it would be a strange
thing if a mana er could not do such a thing oa an emer-
gency after ihe committee bad ceased to sit. He denied that
friendly relations were broken off between Mr. Cameron
and the other directors at the time stated, and he quoted
from a letter to show the friendly manner in which they
addressed him up almost to the time of the stoppage
of the bank, and in reference to Mr. Stapleton
he said that up to the 12th of July, 1356,
Mr. Cameron and Mr. Stapleton were on such friendly
terms that the former introduced the latter to the ban-
quet given to the hero of Kars at the Reform Clue. The
hank, the learned counsel said was not projected by Mr
Cameron, but by Mr. M'Gregor and Mr. Mullens, at a
time when Mr. Cameron wet carrying on his business as
a Parliamentary agent in this country. The learned
counsel then proceeded to examine minutely the evidence,
and in conclusion said that Mr. Cameron's desire bad
ever been to promote the advancement of the bank,
and so disinterested was his conduct that he had three
of his sons in the bank without salary. Mr. Cameron's
account was stated at 36,0001., but the learned counsel
reduced it to 23,0001., and said by calculation it ought to be
reduced to 17,0001., out of which there should be de
ducted 10,6001., for-which he had made himself respon-
sible in taking up the shares of the bank. Such was
Mr. Cameron's confidence in the stability of the bank
that just before its stoppage he proposed to increase his
stake in it, and it was not likely that a man of substance
would have risked it in an insolvent concern, with a
le..owledge of that fact. The learned counsel read cer-
tain portions of a correspondence in connection with the
debts of the bank, which he said showed that Mr.
Cameron was acting by the direction of the hoard in
reference to them. It was impossible for Mr. Cameron
to have published a balance-sheet and report without
the consent of the directors, and he asked why the
auditors had not been called who audited what had nee.,
termed the false balance-sheets.
The following evidence seas then called for the dean-
dente :
Sir llemander Matheson, examined by Mr. Bovill, said
he was a member of the firm of Alexander Matheson,
director of the British Bank of Eog:and, and &LP for
the Inverness burghs. He was brother-in-law of the
Hon. J. Stapleton, one of the defendants. He had
known Mr. Cameron since 1839. Witness and his family
possessed large property in Scotland. Mr. Cameron then
was a most influential man in the county of Ross ; and
the witness enumerated the offices, alreasty giverein the
course of the trial, held by Mr. Cameron. He had met
Mr. Cameron at the hou‘es of some of the best families
in Scotland. In consequence of Mr Cameron's intimatiee
to him, he recommended Mr. Stapleton, in June, 1855,
to join the bank. Mr. Cameron at that time thous t
his joining would be desirable, because they
wanted a west-end director. They test at wit-
ness's house to diunsr, and Mr. St ,pleton after-
wards became a director. He never doubted
from his opinion of Mr. Cameron that his representa-
tions of the flourishing scat - of the bank were correct.
He had the greatest confidence in him. Mr. Carneree

client of Mr. Cameron's the sum of 16,0001. throneh
