required in Paris for the trial which is to commence the
day after to-morrow, a remand for a shorter time than
eight days would not be of any use. On that
occasion another part of this case will be opened.
Mr. Sleigh. then made a very forcible appeal to the
magistrate to admit the prisoner to bail.
Mr. Bodkin strongly objected to the application.
Mr. Jardine—l objected on the first occasion to admit
the pr:s:ner to bad. I ff,el doubly justified now in
refusing the application.
The prisoner was ultimately remanded to this day
week.

[The following appeared in our late edition of last
evening :—]
This afternoon, at three o'clock, Simon Bernard, who
stands charged with being concerned in the late at-
tempted assassination, was placed at the bar.

Nir. Bodkin appeared, as before, on the part of the

Treasury, and Mr. Sleigh defended Bernard..

The first witness called was

M. Estieu, who produced a dagger and the oilcloth
covering of the parcel sent by the prisoner to M. Outre-
quin. The witness stated that he brought them from
the Cour Imperial.
Jean LeopoldFavre—l am Inspector of the French
police. I was near the opera on the evening of the
attack. I saw ten men wounded and one killed. I
heard three explosions.
M. Ontrequin—l am a commission agent in Paris. I
deal in silks. I made the acquaintance of the prisoner
in October, 1856. I first saw him in a cafe in Tichbourne-
-Btreet. The prisoner spoke about some dye for silk.
This was the commencement of the acquaintance. I

NINTH DAY.

was in London for about ten days. I saw him every
day. I returned to Paris, and had some communication
with the prisoner about the dye for the silks. I returned
to England in March, 1857. I again saw the prisoner I
at the Cate Suisse ; he was always accompanied by a
Frenchman. There was some conversation about a
person named Hodge. I went to see Hodge. Esrly in
December a letter was brought to me in Paris. I can't
tell the date exactly. I don't know the handwriting. I
have had correspondence with the prisoner.
Mr. Bodkin—Do you believe that the letter is in the
handwriting of the prisoner ?
Mr. Sleigh objected to the question.
Mr. Bodkin—ln whose handwriting do you believe
the letter to be ?
' Witness—All make me believe that it is the hand-
writing of the person who signed it, but I can't say.
Mr. Bodkin—Who brought that letter to you ?
Witness—Mr. Thomas Allsop.
Mr. Sleigh asked to see the letter before it was read.
It was accordingly handed to him. After having
perused it, the learned gentleman objected to the letter
being read, as there was no proof of who wrote it.
The Magistrate ruled that the letter ought to be read.
Mr. Sleigh still objected without he was allowed to
cross-examine the witness.
Magistrate—You have a right to do so.
Mr. Sleigh—Very well.—Did you ever see the person
, write who signed this letter ? . .

[The following appeared in successive editions of The Sun
of yesterday :--j
The trial of the information against the directors and
manager of the Royal British Bank for conspiring by
false pretences to defraud the s'narehoiders and cus-
tomers and the public, Ras this day resumed.
The same counsel appeared as before.
Lord Campbell, on taking his seat ow the bench, an-
nounced that the prosecution would be deprived of the
further assistance of Sir F. Thesiger. Ile candidly con-
fessed that he should have been well pleased to have
bad the assistance of that learned gen.leman till the con-
clusion of the trial ; but, at the same time, he must
' express his satisfaction, which he felt assured was shared
in by the bar and the country, on his elevation. (A.p-
plause.)

Mr. Sergeant Ball intine said the bar concurred in
congratulating the learned gentleman on his elevation,
and the prosecution much regretted his loss in the com-
pletion of the trials. •
Mr. Crawford was recalled, and said that during
Cameron's absence from illness during January and
May, 1855, Mr. Esdaile took the general management
of the bank. The green ledger, general ledger, share
ledger, and diary and bills book were frequently before
him, and they were also before Mr. L. M. Valiant and
Mr. Stapleton. Witness prepared the periodical balance
sheet in the mode adopted when he joined the bank by his
predecessor, in the course of their preparation he got out
details in a tabular form of the assets and liabilities of
, the bank which were extracted from the balance and

Witness—l have seen the person whose name is to
that letter write, but I cannot positively say this is the
prisoner's handwriting. I have never paid particular
attention to the handwriting of the prisoner and I can-
ntit say whether he wrote it.
The letter was then read, it was from Bernard, and
stated the bearer (Allsop) was a friend of his visiting
Paris and desired the witness to give him every attention
it was in his power to do.
Mr. Bodkin to witness —Have you been lately to the
French prison to see a person named Allsop ?
Witness—l saw a person whom I knew as Allsop.
Mr. Bodkin—ls that person detained under the name
of Orsini ?

ledger-book. He held in his band three proof impres-
sions of the balance-sheet for the half-year ending Dec.
1855, but each is different. The first is a printed form
filled in by witness in red ink of the balances in the
books, and delivered to Mr. Cameron, the general
manager ; after that, by Mr. Cameron's direction, he
prepared a second balance-sheet, which was a printed
balance-sheet, in Feb., 1855 ; in the first, the paid-up
capital was called 127,0001., and the new shares were
put in the inner column alon'g with the deposits ; in the
second form the pair'-up capital was raised to 150,0001.,
by applying that portion of the deposits for new shares
that had been paid in full. Whe❑ Mr. Cameron gave this
direction to make the alterations, witness thought he
said the balance-sheet had been under the consideration

Mr. Sleigh objected to the question.
answerln to further questions the witness said—Tbe
officer of police who went with me wai M. Estieu.
M. E Alen was here recalled and said—l accompanied
the witness to the French prison and pointed out Orsini
to him.

The examination of the witness was then proceeded I
with—l received another letter (produced), but I don't
know when. I can't find out by the envelope, but it
was after the letter just read. I believe it to be written
by the prisoner because it is similar to the other.
The htter was read, it related to " placing in con-
signment" some magnificent pistols (revolvers) in Paris.
Examination proceeded—That was the first time I
heard anything about pistols from the prisoner.
Another letter dated " Saturday, London," was here
put into the wi' ness s hat d.
I believe this to be the earns handwriting as the other.
The letter was one from Bernard. Is thanked the
witness for the informetion about the pistols, and went
to ask what sort of handkerchiefs would best sell in
Paris. It also thanked him for the attention he had
given his friend Allsop. Another letter was subm tted
to witness. It announced that two pistols had been
sent as patterns.
The witness then proceeded— I received a parcel
immediately after the letter arrived. The oil-skin cover
now shown to me is the same that was on the box. It
contained two cases, each having a pistol and the neces-
sary apparatus. The boxes before me are like those I
received. The person who I knew as Allsop called on
me the same day as the packet arrived. He spoke
about the pistols.
Mr. Bodkin—What did be say ?
Mr. Sleigh objected.
The Magistrate overruled the objection.
Witness—Allsop examined the pistols after having
asked me if I had received them. Allsop gave as a
reason for coming that he wanted to know whether I
bad received the pi-itols, but I did not attach any im-
portance to the conversation. The next day Alteop
called again and took away one of the boxes
containing a pistol. I recollect being at home the
Sunday before the attempt. Allsop called that day in
the morning, and I accompanied him to a hotel in Paris.
It was the Hotel de France et de Champagne, Rue Mont-
martre. I did not go in.
!Ir. Bodkin—Did Allsop say anything about another
person a friend of his who would buy a pistol ?
Mr. Sleigh again objected, but the question was put.
Witness—Allsop said that a friend of his, a German '
would take one. I think he said his name was Pierry.
I left Allsop at the door of the hoterand returned home.
I have seen the man Pierry since, but it was dark, sa
I can't recollect. It was at Allsop's lodgings at
the Rua Montaba, but I can't remember the day : but
it was before I accompanied .Allsop to the hotel.
In the course of that Sunday I discovered that the
pistol had been taken away. Allsop paid me the amount
of the carriage ; 251. 25 centimes for carriage.
Mr. King was recalled, and recognised the seal of the
South Eastern Railway Company on the oilskin cover.
—That enables me to say that the parcel produced is the
same as I received from the prisoner.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—l have had converses
tions with Frenchmen when they have arrived at the
office. I never had a conversation with the prisoner on
any other occasion than the one I have alluded to. I
am positive of it. The reason I spoke about it on the
day when be brotight the parcel was because he asked
me so particularly about the trains that I thought he
was going back.
By Mr. Bodkin.—l perfectly recollect that the parcel
to which I have alluded was not secure, and that I
affixed the seal thereon.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—l don't know that
the expression about going back " when the Emperor
comes here" was a common one with Frenchmen. I
never beard it before.
The prisoner here handed a small piece of peer to a
person in court to give to the witness, Outrequin, but
Mr. Durkin, the superintendent, took the paper, and
before it was given he wished the magistrate to know
the fact. '
The paper was not handed to the witness but was
given to Mr. Sleigh, who said the prisoner was un-
acquainted with the forms of the English Court.
Madame Outrequin said—l am the wife of the witness
Outrequin. I know a person of the name of All-op. I
first saw him at our house in Dec., 1857. I have also
seen an Englishman there ; his name was Hodge.
Allsop and he came together. Mr. Allsop brought a
letter of recommendation to my husband. I only saw
Hodge once ; it was in December. I have seen Allsop
frequently at our house since that time. He usually
came alone. I' recollect a parcel containing pistils
arriving, and was present when it was opened. It
was in a cover like the one produced, It contained
two boxes, in setch of which eas a pistol. It also con-
tained a bit of coal, or pitch ; nothing was done with
that. I think Mr. Allsop carried away one of the
boxes of. pistols. I was at home when Allsop first
cane. I think it was in the month of December. All-op
came to our house the same day the parcel arrived. He
said nothing, bat the boxes were shown to him. He
did not say what he came for. They spoke about
pistols when Allsop said they had arrived at the house.
He said there was a German, a friend of his, who was
to buy one. I did not hear him mention the name of
the person. I recollect All 4 ea coming to the house on
the Sunday before the attack on the Emperor. My
husband went out with him. Whilst my husband was
out some one came and took away the other pistol. I
never Saw him before, and not knowing whether my
husband had sent him, I asked his name and address.
Mr. Bodkin—What name did he give?
Mr. Sleigh objected to the question.
The Magistrate said the question ought to he answered.
Witness—He gave me a card. It had only " Hotel
de France" on it. He said his name was Pierry, and he
wrote that name in my presence.
By Mr. Sleigh—Some time after a person came tome,
it was a lady I did not know. I have been taken by
M. Estieu to the prison in France, and there I saw the
person I knew as A.,lsc•p,
M. Estieu was here recalled—l pointed out to her
Orsini. 's,lse recognised him immediately.
M Morond said—l live at No. 10, Rue Montmartre.
A person named Allsop resided there. I have been to
the prism', and there saw the person I knew as Allsop.
M. Estieu here again stated that he pointed out
Orsini to the witness, who immediately recognised him
as Allsop.
Witness—The passport shown is the one I received
from the person I knew as Allsop. It was dated Aug.
16, 1851, and I afterwards sent it for registry to the
proper authorities. It was made out in the name of
Thomas Allsop.
Mr. Bodkin said that this passport was originally
granted to the real Thomas Allsop, for whose apprehen-
sion a reward has been offered, and that it was the
practice of Orsini to travel on the continent
under the assumed name of Allsop.
By Mr. Bodkin---ine person I knew as Allsop lodged
with me up to the time ha was taken into custody by
the police. On the evening of the attempt ho left my house
between 7 and 8. He had somebody with him, but I don't
know who. I knew his servant Gomez. Allsop returned
about 9-o'clock in the evening, covered with blood. I
got a washbasin and bathed his fade. There was a
wound on the temple. The police arrived between two
and three the next morning, and took him into custody.
Gomez was aloe taken into custody. The police
also took possession of the passport. I recollect the
names of two persons who used to visit Allsop prior to
the attempt. One was named Pierry, the other De
Silva. When I went to the French prison I did not
see Siva. I have not seen him since. I recollect
that Allsop kept a horse, Ile hired it about

of the board. The third balance-sheet contained the

,D r,h--rerce to them, it also referred to the additional
charter and the issue of new shares in consequence.
It stated also the appointment of various committees of
the board before whom, almost every day, questions
arose relative to past-due bills and loans ;it further
stated the principle on which the balance-sheets were
male up, and the system of banking carried on. The

hope that by doing so they would increase the capital
and prevent the run on the shareholders. The applica-
tion for issuing new shares did not arise from the want
of money, but to strengthen the bank and allow them to
recover their lost position. He bad no idea when the
application was made for a new charter. He had
no knowledge of the 71st clause of the charter, making
it nets-nary that the bank should stop when one-fourth

of the capital was lost He denied that he had been
actuated by any sinister objf.c-, and his whole timo and
attention had been devoted to furthering the success of
the bank.

Mr. Peter Brown was called, and proved what took
place at a meeting of directors and shareholders, held on
the lit Feb., 1856. He took a report of the proceedings
at the reqcemt of the directors, and he now produced an
accurate abridged report of the meeting.
It was handed in and read by the associate. The pur-
port of it was that the directors of the bank represented
the bank as being in a prosperous condition.
Mr. Gstherer was reealled. He proved the certificate
of application to the Board of Trade for the supplemental
charter, on 15th January, 1856. The certificate stated
that 100 0001. worth of new shar,,, of 1001. Each, had
been su,,eri bed for ; that 50,0001 had been paid up ;
and that the subscribers had executed the necessary
deed. Witness then detailed the circumstances in con-
nection with the issuing of circular advertisements, &c.,
and the application for shares in consequence. He
stated that theshares of the second issue were transferred
to the third issue.

Mr. Crawford was then examined at great length rela-
tive to the instructions he received from Cameron. to
take necessary steps for the purchase of shares that were
known to be going into the market, to prevent
which a broker was employed to purchase them (at the
average price Gf 501. par) in the name of Henry Empson,
whose account at the British Bank was debited with the
amount. As dividends were due on these shares they
wore placed to the profit of the cotnpauy. There were
many transactions of this sort, amounting in the aggre-
gate to 9,0001. At the end of 1855, Ernpsou's private
account stood at 6,4031. 10s. That amount was carried
into the balance sheet as part of the assets of the bank.
Mr. Scott (broker) proved making the purchase by
order of the Bank, for Mr. Henry Empson.
Mr. Crawford, in answer to Sir F. Kelly.—On the
face of it Ernpson's account wallet show him to be the
bona fide purchaser and holder of the shares. Empson
applied to the board for an indemnity, but Mr. Staple-
ton refused anything of the sort. This was just before
the failure of the bank.
Evidence was then given to the purchase of the shares
by the hank in the name of Empson.
The next witness examined was Mr. Thomas Dakin—
He *stated that he joined the directory after the represen-
tations of Mr. Alderman Kennedy, an old friend of hist
who said the bank would become one of the leading
institutions of the country. lie said the bank had one
or two " lock-ups" of capital, which had retarded its
progress, brat he thought so well of the bank that he had
introdueed Mr. Valiant, his hrother-ie-law. Witness
paid 1,0001. for twenty shares and joined the board, but
finding after war s that the bank were iron manufac
turere, and other matters cccurrine, he resigned the
direction and insisted repayment of his money, which
was done by direction of Mr. Esdaile.
By Mr. Sergeant Shee—He hfci the highest opinion
of Alderman Kennedy's integrity ; such was his general
character.

alterations in the second and some other trifling ones,
and was the last he prepared previous to the final
balance-sheet which was read to the shareholders at the
meeting. Tae tabular statement on which the final
balance-sheet was based was put in. The witness then
detailed the amount of the suspense acc mut, past-due
bills, &c., &c., inserted as assets, which have already
been given. The balance-sheet wae audited in his pre-
sence. Ho preducat before the auditors statements of
the assets and liabilities similar to those he; had spoken
to. There was a difference in them to those he
handed Mr. Cameron. The accounts were differently
described. In the statement of assete, as first shown,
the bill account was headed in the precise term in which
they stood in the bank books, but in the copy before the
auditors they were simply entitled bill account, No. 1,
2,3, and so on. Tne loan account was similarly
named. Convertible securities being called loin account
No. 1, and past-due loans, loan account No. 2. Mr.
Cameron, with his own hand, altered the titles of the
account before they went to the auditors. An alteration
was first made, so early as 1853, in the statements
produced for the auditors, and they continued to be made
down to 1855. The auditing usually occupied three or
four bourse., In 1853, after the accounts had been
altered, he said to Mr. Cameron, Mr. Page, one of the
auditors, appeared to consider that he was entitled to see
_all the bills and securities of the bank. Mr. Cameron
replied it was no portion of the duty of an auditor to go
into those matters, or into the personal accounts. He also
raid Mr. Page mistook his duty, and were he to carry
out his views, he should sit at the board-room table, go
into all the traesactions of the bank, and there, de die
in diem, revise and comment on all the bank's transac-
tions. Such a duty would entirely take away the
' functions of the directors. If the auditors required to
see anything in the books he showed it -to them. He
read the accounts off to the auditors. The balance
sheet of 1855 contained in the assets all the proved bad
debts, such as Welsh works, &c. In the ledger
these accounts were ranged under different
heads. The Welsh mines were ruled under
the suspense account and convertible securities,
cash credit account, adjusting interest account, amount-
ing in the gross to 108,0031. 2s. 51. up to December,
1855. Witness then detailed the manner in which the
others were more or less spread over the above accounts.
The Islington Cattle Market debt amounted to 8,6001. ;
Mullens', 10,6461 16'. 3d. ; Brown's, 79,4371. 3s. ld. :
Oliver's, 14,162/. 4s. 51. ; Macgregor's, 7,369%. 83. 3.3. ;
Blacker's, 4,518/. 2d. ; Gwynne's, 13,415/. 19s. 11d. ;
Cochrane's, 9:5331. 3s. 3d. ; Cameron's, 24,5901. Is. sd.
(deducting 693/. Bs. 10d., balance of his drawing
account).
By Mr. Sergeant Shee-The balance-sheet, was drawn
out on the recognised principle of book-keeping. The
accounts showed appear in the balance-aheet as they
were in the books. A debt, uules4 it was entirely hope-
less, ought not to be written off, and, of course, it must
come into the ba'anee-sheet in the character of an asset
until that was done.
By Sir. F. Kelly-The reserve fund for meeting bad
debts was fertned on a calculation of 5 per cent. on the
net profits, and that was the meaning of the item 3071.
for that purpose in the balance-sheet of Dec., 1855.
No calculation or examination was then made of the
actual amount of bad and dcubtful debts, but there was
in June, 1855. The balance sheets of June and Dec.,
1855, did not include specific items of bad debts. On one
occasion witness hazarded a remark to a director, when
b'lr.Cameroncameto him and said " I understand you have
been speaking to Mr. Cochrane. I think it extra iY+3
bad taste on your part, and any recurrence of it will
meet with my most severe displeasure."
By Mr. a Seymour - Witness became general
manager after Kr. Cameron left, on 22d July, 1856. A.
balance-sheet of June, 1856, handed in, had corrections
on it in Mr. Munro'a handwriting. Up to August,
1856, he believed the bank would be able to dispose of
their interest in the Welsh Works satisfactorily, and be
no substantial sufferer by it. It was Mr. Cameron's
policy to keep up a bad debt fund.
By Mr. Atherton-After June, 1855, no interest eau;
computed on 42 0001. of bad debts included in the
subsequent balance-sheets or toilette, Out of 70,0001.
odd, Mr. Brown's discounts 8,060/. 14s. lid. was for
current trade bills. During the last few days of the
bank deposits did not come in very fast, and it had sold
"ut nearly all its stock.
Air. Williamson stated that he was assistant-account
ant of the bank. Mr. Crawford informed him on one
occasion that it was Mr. Cameron's wish Mr. L. M.
Valiant, a director, should not be assisted is his exami-
nation of the books, and witness gave him as little
assistance as possible in prosecuting his inquiries.
(Laughter.)
By. Mr. Seymour--He did not know if it was stated
that Mr. Cameron's object was to preceent one director
examining the account of another director.
By Mr.' Atherton -The cash book showed on the
cash credit side, including money transferred from one
account to another. It stood as follows within a few
days of the stoppage :-.27th August, 1856, 18,1391.
le. sd. ; 28th August, 117,092/. 18s. 41. ; 29th

making a gross balance of 665.261/. 17', 41.; a balance
In hand then remained of 18,039/. ss. 7d.
Mr. Duncan was called, and stated that the bank
was never pressed for wion9y, anti when the bank
stopped there was a balance of 35,0001. in the till at
the principal office, and a similar amount in the Bank
of England.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine then read a portion of Mr.
Eidaile's affidavit before the Vice-Chancellor, which
applied to his knowledge of the state and condition et
the bank; from its commencement to the time of its stop-
page. It stated that Mr. Esdaile war not aware the
capital was not paid up when the charter was obtained,
I and his impression that the bank did not make, in a
I commercial phrase, sufficient provision for bad debts.

Mr. W. Nichol', of Eccleston-square, merchant, was
induced to become a shareholder on the representation of
Mr. Alderman Kerne iy. He had 20 shares, for which
he paid 1,0001., in 1855 ; from information he subse-
quently ontaioed he refused to become a director. In
February following he gild his shares ; ten of them were
first sold in the market for 5001., and they were trans-
ferred to . Mr. Erupstin. Later in the month he
sold the remaining 10 shares; which were also transferred
to Empson for 5001.
By Mr. Soee—He first knew Alderman Kennedy, in
Bombay, in 1811 ; he understlod. Alderman Kennedy
was the pbysiman-general—he al says bore a high cha-
racter for integrity and honour.
By Mr. James—Witness was a director of the Lou'
d-n and County Bank. He did not know if that bank
commenced with a capital of 34,0001.
After some further evidence of a similar character, the
court adj turned at a quarter past five o'clock.
The case for the pro-ecution is expected to finish early
to-nuerro w morning.
