1 hese . bills were • originally deposited with Mr.
Tomkins (mentioned in Case 1.) by Mr. De Berekem,
in the course of the transaction between thoie parties
that is described in the same case. (See the As .
set forth at pp. 356, 360.)
Afterwards these bills were deposited by Mr. Tom-
ldns 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
~
!mile, but on behalf of Mr. De Berckem; an nee*
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;- •
varlet+ 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 lotto • '
being until the ,Ist betober following, and the rate
of interest 4 per cent. Of this sum 3,0001. was repaid '
to the -Bank of England on 22d October, 1841, leav-
in 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, 1841, 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. Mitckell
Trines, 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.

had an account with Messrs. Coutts and Co., bankers)
to introduce him to Messrs. Coutts and Co., with the
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 beExchequer hills, 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
the period for which the money had been advanced.
