B. i, HEYWOOD'S ADDRESS TO
T ro--"E WORKING CLASSES OF MANCHESTER
THE PRESENT CRISIS.
Sir Benjamin Heywood, Bart., the tried friend of
I,e working classes, has addressed an appeal to " The
,terking Men of Manchester" on the subject of the
resent strike. It is distinguished by the same cheer-
faith,lei and earnest regard for the comfort, the well-
. ilg, and moral progress of the operative population,
which...te have commended the worthy Baronet to the
• iieetions of the hiliabitfints of Manchester. " I be-
ve You (says Sir Benjamin Heywood to the work-
log 'nen of Manchester) to be men of sense, intelli-
;9ee, and right feeling, and not even the sad events
bleb are going on around us have been able to shake
anaYe°ofidence in you." This is a cheering assurance,
when we know that it expresses the general feel-
Averaollg these gentlemen, the employers of labour,
u'ilave mixed with the working classes of the town
ding"sir 144, the late troubles, and who have observed, like
general
Heywood,' their soundness at heart and
peaceful demeanour, we may congratulate
• lves that there is nothing in the late turn-out
• • 'eh in itself need perpetuate angry feeling or sus-
' Pick,
n between the operatives and their employers.
At the very. moment (continues Sir Benjamin)
to's,en better times seem to be at hand, and trade to be
puving, and when, by the blessing of Providence, a
*1°1,7 harvest appears to be in store for you, bringing
.lilth them, as they assuredly would do, both higher
io'a,ges and cheaper food ; at the moment when, from
126 distress, your resources must be exhausted, you
'`ve been thrown out of work, and told that by
a
sliTension of labour your condition will more
be bettered.
th dust think of the matter for yourselves. Most of
who have been employing you have been paying
your wages for some time at considerable loss to
tlllealselves. Some of them have sunk under the pres-
-41.e, of the times. Your temporary cessation from
1,
1,;(211‘K Can, in most cases, be no injury to your em-
°,,Yers, whilst to ourselves '
ourselves it can bring nothing but
°° creased distress. Bear this, too, in mind, that as
`h
bade revives your wages will advance ; and when you
ii• tve well weighed these matters I am much mistaken
You do not decide that the sooner you return to
°lir work the better it will be for you.
With regard to the other object proposed to you
'thet People s Charter—l believe that the more you
A nt'll4l( about it, and the better you understand it, the
• ,:te you will he convinced of its danger to your-
• L'ves. Be this as it may—suppose that it involved a
neficial change, and one conducive to your in-
rests, surely a very little consideration must satisfy
lOU that the way to obtain it is not to throw all into
t°nftision in the country, spreading alarm around, and
;
1, arra, Y ing against you every real friend of peace, law,
• 11'1 order.
" I am not surprised that you should feel that the
4 course of legislation, as regards yourselves, has not
en what it ought to have been. I feel it strongly
z't h° illyself; but at a moment of excitement like the
resent, this question can be discussed with no ad-
vantage, and I would not say a word, but in the
; tfirit of kindness and conciliation. Sounder prin-
tb„ll)les and more enlarged views of legislation on
be
deeply affecting your interest, have already, in
(I 11.11 e degree, been acknowledged. The prospect is
4811tening before you ; greater changes must soon
made ; and your advancement be the sure result.
kt" Let me entreat you, then, as you value your own
taPPiness and well-being—let me entreat you for the
t 4‘e of your wives and children, to return at once
(/,',Your work. You will be received, I doubt not, in
a 'iberal and friendly spirit, and you will put an end
a State of things full of peril to yourselves.
" That you may all, by the blessing of God, soon

Paid, by many prosperous years, for the sufferings
yon have so patiently endured, is the earnest prayer

SINGULAR TRIAL IN FRANCE.
A.An interesting and affecting trial took place, a few
i.`"Ys ago, before the Court of Assizes of the Saone et
4'oire, M. Julien Larochette, a wealthy landowner,
aged 37, was charged with
of the environs of Macon,
iring, on the 6th of May last, attempted to murder
s, 'lv! sister, Mad. Bouillard, and his two nieces, one of
• plat
was her daughter.. It was stated in evidence,
ilt!at on the day in question, the prisoner called upon
4`' ri3 Sister, who resides at Solutre, and who was at the
,Irne sitting with her daughter and niece. After con-
iLersing for nearly two hours on indifferent subjects,
'e manner of Larochette, which had been previously
~c),°l and collected, became much excited ; and
"'Qat the oun ladies were in tears, on account
41',' g
his excitement and his distracted look, he seized
the hand of Mad. Bouillard, and exclaimed—" Poor
sister, you know riot what misfortune is about to hap-
l'en to you ;" adding, in allusionto the projected mar-
lage of one of his nieces, " Pauvre petite, on vent
I
sacrifier." Mad. Bouillard, finding all efforts to
Balmhim vain, took a seat near the fire. Larochette
did the same, and was for 'some time silent; but sud-
denly he put his hand in his pocket, and, drawing
forth a knife, rose, and struck his sister with it, ex-
-aiming, " I
hips no longer command myself." He
rlext attacked two nieces, and stabbed them re-
teatedly. The mother received six wounds, her
ip having
fourteen, and her niece four. The noise
brought assistance, the victims were immedi-
„,
, eitY attended to, and, notwithstanding the serious
til,l'ure of the wounds, they all recovered, after
air lives had been some time in danger.
.j 44 -1-Mtnediately after the attack, Larochette fled,
111enacin all who tried to arrest him with a
similar fate ; but, being at length secured, he declared
.11at
he had acted under a belief that an attempt had
been made to poison him. Supposing this to have
been the fact, he was insane at the time ; but accord-
lll,g,to the act of accusation he was in full possession
(~
,nis intellectual faculties, although suffering under
bn
ootiily indisposition. He had sdemanded the hand of
of his nieces in marriage, but she, considering
hirn
teo old, had. rejected the offer, and was to be
married to another person. This rejection had preyed
upon his mind rind worked him up to violence ; but
thet medical men who were called in to pronounce as
mental fa4ulties declared positively that they
Were not deranged. Amongst the witnesses called
h. the the prosecution were the persons whom he
brought
attempted to destroy. His sister was no sooner
ought into Court than she endeavoured to rush
"4 into his arms, and sobbed hysterically. His neices
11, were almost as niuch affected ; and the prisoner him-
kZec. !elf, who, since the day of his arrest, had constantly
X7:qtl• !I',,;zlnired after th em most affectionately, wept bitterly.
'nfe,Procureur .du Roi addressed the Jury in a pow-
theul speech, in ,which he insisted that the act of which
‘Nt, Prisoner ad been guilty had none of the
character of insanity, and was the result of
violentfence,
and bad passions. The Counsel for the de-
Lenee, on the ot'aer hand, contended that nothing was
proved to show- that any motive had existed for the
attempt, that the supposition of his having been in-
fluen
and to
by
je3: lousy
was not established in evidence,
- an attack upon gbut insanity could account for such

EXCHEQUER BILLS FRAUD.
REPORT.
TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
(Continued from The Sun of Tuesday.)

Claimant.—Thomas Browne, Esq.
Series of Holders.—Thomas Browne, Jghn Wray
Scott, F. T. De Berckem, William Mariner, E.
Rapallo.
Mr. Browne was formerly a chemist at Camberwell,
and on retiring from that business received a sum of
2,0001., which lie was desirous to lay out at interest,
and was introduced for that purpose by a respectable
party to John Wray Scott (mentioned in Case VI.),
whom that party had employed as a broker for several
years. Mr. Scott said he thought he could get Ex-
chequer bills, and afterwards informed Mr. Browne
that an arrangement had been made witlYa party for
the loan of the 2,0001. for two or three months from
the Ist of October, at five per cent., and that three
months would be preferred to two. In pursuance of
this arrangement, Mr. Browne, on the 2d of October,
1841, handed over the 2,0001. to Mr. Scott upon a
loan for three months, at five per cent., Mr. Scott
being (as usual in such cases) the apparent borrower,
and the principal not being named. And Mr. Browne
received, by way of security, a deposit of the two bills
now in question, which remained in his hands at the
time of the public discovery of the fraud.
Mr. Scott had received the bills on the same day
from Mr. De Berckem, in the course of the transac-
tions betwv,en those parties that are described in Case
VI. (See Scott's Account A., p. 154, and F. De
Berckem's Account, Table 11. e, p. 358).

(26 Bills.)
Claimants.—Messrs. Price and Co.
Series of Holders.—Messrs. Price and Co., E.
Rapallo.
Mr. Solari was introduced to Messrs. Price and
Co., July, 1836, and immediately opened an account
with them, in the course of which he obtained suc-
cessive advances from them on the deposit of Ex-
chequer bills (or instruments purporting-to be such)
at such dates, and for such amounts, and at such
rates of interest as set forth in the Accounts, p. 427.
After Solari's death, in October, 1840, Mrs. Solari,
his widow and executrix, introduced to Messrs. Price
and Co. Rapallo, whom they had not before known,
and requested them to take his orders for the manage-
ment of the account. The account was accordingly
continued by Rapallo, and in the course of it, viz.,
on the 31st of July and 3d of August, 1841, he ob-
tained from Messrs. Price and Co., on the deposit of
the Exchequer bills now in question, the several
loans of 21,0001. and 5,0001. at the interest of 5 per
cent. per annum, for a month respectively, which
loans were successively renewed on the same terms,
to the 3d of November and the 31st of October,
the same year. The bills in question remained in the
hands of Messrs. Price and Co. at the time of the
public discovery of the fraud, the several sums of
21,0001. and 5,000/., then, and still, being wholly
unpaid. Interest, however, has been paid on the
21,000/. up to the 31st of October, 1841, and on the
5,0001. to the 3d of November, 1841.
CASE XIV.

Claimants.—Messrs. Wolfe, Brothers, and Co.
Series of Holders.—Wolfe, Brothers, and Co. ;
John Wray Scott ; F. T. De Berckem ; William
Mariner; E. Rapallo.
Mr. John Lewis Wolfe, and Mr. Lewis Mortlock
Wolfe, carrying on the business of stockbrokers,
under the firm of Wolfe, Brothers, and Co., and at
the time when the case now in question occurred,
were in the habit (as incidental to that business) of
lending out their spare money from day to day.
On the 22d October, 1841, Mr. Scott (mentioned
in Case VI.), with whom Messrs. Wolfe, Brothers,
and Co., had before had occasional transactions, in
formed their clerk, whom he met in the marked on
the Stock Exchange, that he wanted a loan of 2,0001.,
on Exchequer bills, and on being asked at what rate,
mentioned 5 per cent., which was the common rate at
the time. The clerk accordingly agreed to lend him
to that amount, and at that rate of interest, for one
day ; and the money was paid over to him by Messrs.
Wolfe, Brothers and Co., accordingly ; the bills in
question being deposited with them, at the same time,
by Mr. Scott, by way of security. The loan was
afterwards renewed or continued upon the same
terms, and remained current at the timo of the public
discovery of the fraud.
Mr. Scott had previously received these bills from
Mr. De Berckem, in the course of the transactions
between them that have been described in Case VI.
(See Scott's Account A, p. 154, and F. T. De
Berckem's Account, Table 11. e, p. 358.)
Since the public discovery of the fraud, Messrs.
Wolfe, Brothers, and Co., have received from Mr.
Scott reimbursement to the extent of 4001.

CASE XV.

Claimant.—George Bunter Clapcott, Esq.
Series of Holders.—G. B. Clapcott, John Wray
Scott, F. T. De Berckem, William Mariner, E.
Rapallo.
Mr. Clapcott, a gentleman residing at Bath, placed
5,0001. in the hands of his broker, Air. John Wray
Scott (mentioned in Case VI.), and sent him an
order to make a temporary investment of it in Ex-
chequer bills. unless there should occur an oppor-
tunity of doing better with equally good security.
Mr. Scott finding that better interest could then be
obtained on stock than on Exchequer bills, executed
this order on the Bth of December, 1840, by lending
the 5,000/. until 15th of January following, on the
security of Three per Cents. Reduced, at the interest
of five per cent., out of which half per cent. was pay-
able to himself by way. of commission.
Before that loan expired, viz., on the 11th January,
1841, Mr. Scott wrote to Mr. Clapcott, that as the
rate of interest on stock was then lower, he should
find him some other security, and that he had one in
view equally good, viz., Exchequer bills. To this
Mr. Clapcott acceded, and the 5,0001. having been re-
paid by the borrower on the 15th of January, Mr.
Scott accordingly lent the 5,0001. on the 16th to Mr.
P. T. De Berckem (according to the course of trans-
actions between them, described in Case VI.), at
per cent. (being 5 per cent. to Mr. Clapcott, clear of
commission, for the period of two months, secured by
a deposit of five instruments purporting to be Exche-
quer bills, and informed Mr. Clapcott of the transac-
tion, at the same time forwarding to him the bills so
received in deposit ; but, as usual, in such cases, no
mention was made of the name of the borrower.
At the period of the March ex changes, these bills
were withdrawn, and others substituted ; and after-
wards, about the period of the June exchanges, these
last were in turn withrawn, and the bills now in
question substituted. The loan was in the meantime
continued indefinitely, and remained current at the
time of the public discovery of the fraud.

VI.) on Exchequer bills and other securities ; and
these loans had taken place to the extent, altogether, of
several hundred thousand pounds.
On the sth, 12th, and 28th of October, 1841, the
London Joint Stock Bank advanced to them three

Claimants.—Bank of England.
Series of Holders.—Bank of England, Harry
Tomkins, F. T. De Berckem, William Mariner, E.
Rapallo.
These bills were originally deposited with Mr.
Tomkins (mentioned in Case 1.) by Mr. De Berckem,
in the course of the transaction between those parties
that is described in the same case. (See the Accounts
set forth at pp. 356, 360.)
Afterwards these bills were deposited by Mr. Tom-
kins with Messrs. Stone, Martin, and Co., bankers,
being part of a considerable number of instruments
purporting to be Exchequer bills, on which he from
time to time procured loans from them in his own
name, but on behalf of Mr. De Berckem; an account
of which loans will be found in the evidence of Mr.
Dobson, p. 179.
On 23d September, 1841, Mr. Tomkins redeemed
the bills in question, with three other bills, from
Messrs. Stone, Martin, and Co., and obtained an ad-
vance of 11,0001. upon them in his own name, but on
the behalf and at the request of Mr. De Berckem,
from the Bank of England; the period of that loan
being until the '2lst October following, and the rate
of interest 5 per cent. Of this sum 3,000/. was repaid
to the Bank oc England on 22d October, 1841, leav-
ing a balance due of 8,0001., against which the Bank
held the bills now in question.
The balance last mentioned not being repaid, the
bills were on October 23,184], sold by the Bank of
England to W. Scott and Son, and by W. Scott and
Son to Mr. J. Capel, who purchased them. by direction
of Messrs. Coutts and Co., bankers, for a Mr. Mitchell
Innes, on whose behalf they were deposited for safe
custody with Messrs. Coutts and Co. Afterwards, on
the public discovery of the fraud, these bills were re-
turned by the several purchasers in succession upon
the'Bank of England, who were obliged to provide
new bills. The Bank subsequently brought their ac-
tion against Mr. Tomkins for reimbursement ; but
though they recovered judgment against him, they
have never been able to obtain satisfaction. They are
consequently now claimants on the bills in question.

view of his obtaining from them a loan of 40,0001. in
Exchequer bills.
Mr. William Morgan was on the same day intro-
duced by Lord Strangford accordingly, and Messrs.
Coutts and Co. made an advance to him to the amount
above mentioned for the period of a month, and at the
interest of 5 per cent. ; and received from him by way
of security on such loan, a deposit of forty instru-
ments purporting to be Exchequer bills, comprising
the bills now in question, and one other, which has
since proved to be genuine.
The bills so deposited remained in the hands of
Messrs. Coutts and Co. until the public discovery of
the fraud, which took place before the expiration of
he period for which the money had been advanced.

were borrowed by Mr. J. Wray Scott from Sir J.

instruments purporting to be such, and among others
the bills now in question, which last mentioned bills
remained in Sir J. Shaw's hands until the public dis-

Case VI. (See Scott's Account, A., pp. 154,,359, and
