EYSSELL ASPLIALTE COMPANY,
"CLARIDG'E'S PATENT," Established 1335.
CAUTION TO TUE PUBLIC.
The composition with which the footway in Whitehall ,in
face of his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch's, and that at Rich •
mood-terrace, which is now being laid down, being called
Bitumen (another name fur Asphalte), a general impression
prevails that the above-named work is made of Seyssel As-
phalte. This, however, is not the case, the composition being
different in very many respects from the Seyssel Asphalte. It
is needless to point out more than one distinguishable quality,
namely, that the Seyssel Asphalte emits no disagreeable smell;
whereas the composition now being used in 'Whitehall sends
forth a most nauseous ctrl horrible effluvium. The fears of
the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, as well as of those pass-
ing through this great thoroughfare, that their vital action may
be suspended by tte effects of this composition, have induced
the Seyssel Asphalte Company thus publicly to repudiate any
connexion with it.

Architects, Builders, and Others.—For the purpose of se-
curing the use cf the genuine article, Architects and others are
particularly requested to insert in their specifications " The
Seyssel Asplialte, Claridge's Patent," and not merely " As-
phalte," or " Bitumen," as in many cases where these terms
have been usNi, gas tar and other worthless, and offensive
compositions, have been introduced.

PEWS IN CHURCHES.

Attempts have been made for some time to do

away with pews (or pues) in our churches, and to
substitute open benches. Several of the arch-
deacons have recommended the plan, and it has
obtained the sanction of the Bishops generally.
The Camden Society, at Cambridge, has lately
published the folloWing reasons in favour of it :
1. Because in the good old times, when
churches were first built, and for many years
after, there were no 'pues at all.
2. Because they were invented at first by
people who thought themselves too good to pray
by the side of their neighbours, and who were in
those days too proud to join in the service of God
with such as were poorer than themselves.
3. Because they were a part of the wicked
system of those men who murdered their
anointed Sovereign, King Charles the Martyr,
and overthrew for a time the Church, and
brought all kind of miseries on this kingdom.
4. Because when the fashion of pues first came
in, it was strictly nn.bidden by many bishops and
others, who had authority in our Church ; and,
if our bishops and archdeacons do not now so

often speak against them, it is only because they
fear to speak against them till people shall have
4ot rid of their prejudices—not that they dislike
the system less.
5.. Because pues shut out the poor, who ought,
if there be any difference, to be first cared fur in

the Church. not. last.: " If there come into your
assembly,". says St. James, " a man with a gold
ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also
a poor man with vile raiment, and ye have respect
unto him that .weareth the gay clothing, and
saylunto him, ' Sit thou here in a good place,'
and say unto the poor, ' Stand thou there, or sit
here under my foc !stool,' are.not ye then partial
in yourselves, and are become judges of evil
thoughts ?"
6. Because the system of pues is a selfish and
unchristian system. Those who have them are
thus tempted to make thethselves comfortable
and warm, and so not to care at all what becomes
of their neighbours and fellow-worshippers.
7. Because in square puts, where people sit
facipgeach other, it is very difficult, if not im-
possible, to attend properly to the Church service.
8. Because on the average they cause a loss as
to room of thirty out of every hundred ; that is,
a church which will hold only three hundred with
pues, will hold nearly four hundred with open
benches.

tempted to leave off going to church, and to go
to meeting instead; thus becoming guilty of the
fearful sin of schism.

REPORT.

10. Because they occasion more quarrels in a
parish than anything else ; the bitterness which
often arises about pues, and that in the very
house of peace, is shocking to think of.
11. Because they enable ill-disposed persons
to act the dog in the manger, who neither come
to church to sit in their own pues, nor suffer any
one else to sit there. The aisles of a church are
often crammed with people who cannot find a
place to sit or kneel, while many of the pues are
empty.

12. Because pues, unless they have a faculty
(which very few have) are illegal.
13. Because they spoil the look of churches
more than anything else does; and thus the
house of God, which ought to be the fairest and
richest of all buildings, is disfigured to suit the
pride and luxury of man.
14. Because they endanger the safety of
churches, by concealing unsoundness in the pil-
lars or the walls.

15. Because people who think themselves
comfortable by having a pue are mistaken. Pues
are much hotter in summer, and not necessarily
warmer in winter, than open seats.
16. Because many wicked practices have been
and sometimes (it is to be feared) are still carried
on in pues. Those who sit in them can amuse
themselves, or go to sleep, as they will, without a
fear that any human eye should see them.
17. Because pues often do wrong to the dead,
by covering over the pavestones and slabs, which
are their only memorials.

18. Because they are unwholesome from har-
bouring damp, dust, mildew, and all kinds of
filth.

19. Because they encourage people to come
late to church, since they know that they will
have their pees kept for them,' however late
they may come in.

20. Because sometimes they are let for money,
which is no better than a kind of simony.
21. Because they tend to make us forget that
in the House of Prayer we are all one body, and
therthy offend against our belief in the com-
munion of saints.

snowed by the borrowers to remain current, having
regard to the rate of interest charged upon them, as
compared with the rate of interest charged on the Ex-
chequer bills themselves.
These periods will also appear, from the tabular
statements before referred to, and the consideration
that they suggest (a consideration applicable in some
measure to the accounts of both parties in question) is
that it was more for the interest of the borrower
t,-; have sold his Exchequer bills in the first in-
stance than to have raised money upon loan, and that
his constantly abstaining from sale was therefore a
circumstance calculated (after a time) to excite at-
tention. This position may be illustrated as follows :
Assuming the Exchequer bills to bear interest at
21d. per cent. per diem (which was the rate as to all
those now in question) a lean upon them of 5 per
cent. per annum, implies a loss of more than Id. per
cent. per diem, in respect of difference of interest.
But tht: expense of selling Exchequer bills (and
they are always marketable) is only Is. per cent.
commission, to which on repurchase (supposing
the market to remain the same) is only to be
added another ls. per cent. for commission, and
2s. per cent. for the difference between the buying
and selling price, snaking altogether 45. per cent.
So that under the circumstances supposed, the
progressive loss on the loan would, after forty-eight
days or seven weeks, more than countervail the whole
expense of sale and repurchase ; and supposing the loan
to continue from first to last for six months, the sur-
plus of loss would amount to 11s. per cent. No fair
motive, therefore, can in general be suggested for pre-
ferring a deposit to a sale, when the period of loan ex-
ceeds seven weeks, and the rate of interest is as much
as five cent., unless it be supposed that on the parti-
cular occasion, the borrower may be speculating upon
a rise of premium, during the loan, which would
oblige him in case of sale to repurchase at a loss, but
will remunerate him in the case of loan for the dif-
ference of interest, .and perhaps yield a profit besides.
But such a motive as this cannot' be supposed where
there are frequent transactions extending through a
long period of time.
Upon the question, however, how far such a mode
of dealing may be reasonably expected to excite sus-
picion in the mind of the lender, considerable differ-
ence of opinion seems to prevail among the witnesses
whom we have examined, and the evidence seems to
lead to the conclusion that it must be a case very
strongly marked, and more so, perhaps, than either
of those now in discussion, which would be likely
to arouse the attention of a lender of ordinary
vigilance. Q. 6,300-7,745, 3,561-3,563, 3,498-
3,506, 3,217, 4,151-4,155. In reference to this
subject, too, Mr. Hichens has again been able to give
proof of parallel cases occurring in his own business,
in which parties not concerned with the bills which
are the subject of our inquiry, borrowed money of
him on the deposit of stock or Exchequer bills for
long p =riods of time, at the rate of 41 or 5 per cent.
Upon the whole, therefore, we think that no great
weight can be attached in the case of either of the
parties before named, to the consideration thirdly
above adverted to, and that the evidence before us is
not such as to justify an imputation against either of
them on this, or any other ground, of want of proper
caution in their dealings.
CLASS lII.—As to the third class, consisting of Messrs.
Ransom and Co., Messrs. Price and Co. Mr. John Wray
Scott, Mr. 11. Tomkins, and Mr. L. Levy, we also find
them upon the evidence to have become respectively the
holders of the bills with which they are connected in the
usual course of business, and without knowledge or sus-
picion that they were other than genuine, or had been
improperly obtained by any person whatever. But cir-
cumstances exist in the case of all these parties,
which appear to us to occasion more difficulty upon the
question with regard to want of proper caution, than
arises with respect to the second class; and we feel too
much doubt upon that question as concerns the class
now under consideration, to be able to submit to your
Majesty any opinion of our own upon the subject.
The points of remark which occur with respect to
the individuals of this class respectively are as follow :
1. As regards Messrs. Ransom and Co., and Messrs.
Price and Co., it is to be observed that the deposits
made with them are of the same general character in
point of nuniber, frequency, and amount as with the
parties in the second class, but subject to this sub-
stantial difference, that the advances to secure which
these deposits were given, were not made to a broker,
but to Solari, a person of whose condition or pursuits
little was known, and who, though representing him-
self in the case of Messrs. and Co. to be act-
ing chiefly for another party, kept the name of that
party constantly concealed ; and after the death of
Solari they were made (in the case of Messrs. Price
and Co.) to Rapallo, to whom the suspicion that the
dealings of Solari might naturally tend to excite ought
as naturally to have been transferred. The loss oc-
casioned by • deposit in reference to sale is also more
strongly exemplified in the accounts of both these
parties than in those of Class 11. An occasional charge
of interest at 6 and 7 per cent. also occurs in the case
of Messrs. Ransom and Co. during the year 1840.
The occurrence, however, is but rare ; and they have
proved on the evidence of Mr. lichens, that these
charges did not exceed what was charged at the time
by the house of Messrs. R. and W. Hichens and Har-
rison.

(as to the first set by J. B. Inglis, Esq. ; as to the se-
cond set in their own right).
Series of Holders.—Messrs. William and Jame:
Morgan, E. Rapallo.
a,
With respect to the first "set of bills, the facts are
these :
The bills were delivered to Messrs. W. and J. Mar-
zan by Rapallo, in a parcel of other bills, for the pur-
pose of raising money upon them by deposit, and in
the course of the transactions between those parties to
which we had occasion to refer in the early part of the
report.
The first five numbers were so delivered on 13th
October, 1841, and the last numbers on 16th October
following. Nos. 6,421, 6,423, 6,445, and 6,493 were
afterwards, viz., on 22d Octo`-)er following, sent up by
Messrs. W. and J. Morgan to the Exchequer, to be
examined under the circumstances stated p. 243, and
(after an examination to which Mr. B. Smith himself
was a party, the particulars of which are stated pp.
243, 244), pronounced to be good. After this, viz.,
on 25th October following, they were handed over by
Messrs. W. and J. Morgan to Mr. Edward Sherman,
under the circumstances stated in pp. 68, 69, 437,
and retained by him until he delivered them into us
under the Commission. The remaining number, viz.
6,444, was on the 14th October, 1841, delivered by
Messrs. W. and J. Morgan to Messrs. Ransom and
Co., under the circumstances stated in the examina-
tions, p. 410, but was returned to Messrs. W. and
J. Morgan, on the• 29th October, under the circum-
stances there also stated, and remained in their posses-
sion until delivered in by them under the Commission.
The whole of this set are now claimed by Alessrs. W.
and J. Morgan as having been appropriated by them
to Mr. Inglis, formerly of the firm of Messrs. Inglis,
Ellis, and Co., of Mark-lane; having as they allege
been so appropriated on 21st or 22d October, 1841.
And it appears,• in fact, that Mr. Inglis had a ba-
lance of money in their hands to the amount of
7,000/. and upwards on the 21st of October, 1841,
on which they allowed him interest at 5 per
cent., and which (as they allege) was up to that
time secured by Spanish stock and shares. It also ap-
pears that on the 13th, 15th, 16th, %Ist, and 29th of
October, 1841, they made advances to Rapallo on the
Exchequer bill account, as stated in that account, p.
321. But there is no evidence whatever of any entry
in the books of Messrs. W. and Morgan, or other
act done to appropriate these bills, or any of them,
to Mr. Inglis, until after the apprehension of Rapallo
for the fraud in November following, when notice was
first given by Messrs. W. and J. Morgan to Mr. Inglis,
that such appropriation had been made. The allega-
tion besides of Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, that they
appropriated these bills to Mr. Inglis on the 21st and
22d of October, is to be considered in connexion with
the fact of their having delivered them to Mr. Sher-
man and Messrs. Ransom and Co. respectively as
above stated. As to the bills delivered to Sherman,
however, it is to be observed that his statement is at
variance with that of Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, who
assert that the delivery to him was under circum-
stances which would give him no title to the bills.
With respect to the second set of bills, the facts are
as follow :
They were received- by Messrs: W. and J. Morgan
from Rapallo about the 21st October, 1841, for the
same purpose as the first set, and are the surplus of
bills which remain over the 146 set down in Account,
p. 321. These bills remained in the hands of
Messrs. W. and J. Morgan until about the 28th
October following, when they delivered the same over
to Mr. Squire, under the circumstances stated by
the latter in his examination,.p..l6, and by Mr.ll .
Morgan in his examination, Q. 6,033. Mr. Squire,
however, now disclaims all title to them ; and on the
other hand, Messrs. W. and J. Morgan claim a lien on
them for 2,3661. 18s. 10d., which they allege to be
the balance of the general account with Rapallo. But
it will be evident, on examination of that account, p.
415, that it shows a balance against them of 7,1231.
Is. 2d., and that it is only by claiming 9,0001.
for loss of business that they can make out a balance
due to them of 2,3661. 18s. 10d. And though on the
Exchequer bill account (as distinct from the general
one) there is no doubt a balance in their favour to the
amount of 1,213/. 13s. (see. p. 321), yet it will be
found that this balance is carried forward to the gene-
ral account, the ultimate balance on which, as already
remarked, is against them.
We have now completed our, statement with re-
spect. to every bill, or set of bills on which a claim has
beon made, and the circumstances under which the
now claimants and antecedent holders of them re-
spectively came to the possession. We shall in the
next place submit to your Mesty our findings or
conclusions with respect to thele several parties ; and
for this purpose we shall divide them into four classes.
CLASS I.—As to the first class, consisting of the whole
of the parties above mentioned, with the exception of
those that will be hereafter particularized, we certify
that we find them upon the evidence to have become re-
spectively the holders of the bills with which they are
connected, in the usual course of business, and without
knowledge or suspicion that they were other than ge-
nuine, or had been improperly. obtained by any person
whatever, and under circumstances which warrant no
inference of their having acted with want of proper
caution.
CLASS IL—As to the second class, consisting of the
following parties, viz, Sir James Shaw, Bart., and
Messrs. H. and W. 'lichens and Harrison, we find them
to have become respectively the holders of the bills with
which they are connected, in the usual course of busi-
ness, and without knowledge or suspicion that they were
other than genuine, or had been improperly obtained by
any person whatever. But circumstances appear upon
the evidence which tend to raise some doubt upon the
question, whether these parties have acted or not with
want of proper caution. If that question were left to our
judgment, we should decide that there is not upon the
whole sufficient ground for such an imputation against
either of them ; but we think it right, nevertheless, to
advert specifically to the circumstances here referred to.
They consist of particulars in the conduct of the
party with whom they were dealing, which may be
thought calculated, in a greater or less degree, to have
suggested some suspicion to their minds ; and ,these
particulars may be dislribated into the following
heads :-
1. The number, frequency, and large amounts of
the deposits from time to time made with them re-
spectively, by the same party, and the large quanti-
ties of bills so deposited, which were in pledge at the
same period of time.
The dates and amounts to which we here refer will
appear from the tabular statements delivered in by
each of these parties ; and are such, in the case of both
(though in different degrees), as naturally to lead to
some remark. It is to be observed, however, in their
favour, that they were respectively dealing with
brokers, or persons habitually acting as such, and
known to be concerned =for a principal, and
who might reasonably also be, supposed to re-
present several principals, but who (according
to the practice constantly prevalent among brokers)
would keep the names of their principals, as
a matter of course, concealed.. With respect to
Messrs. R. and W. HitchenS and Harrison, it is also
to be remarked that they were dealing with Mr. E.
L. Morgan, who was understOod to do the business of
Messrs. W. and J. Morgan, and that the latter partiP
were known to be brokers for more than one Nanking
house, and in that capacity might/not improbably be
employed to raise money to a large amount from time
to time upon Exchequer bills. And in this point of
view great attention is due to the statement of Mr. R.
Hichens, as to the large amounts to which he dealt
with other brokers and bankers in securities of 010
same description.
2. The instances in which the borrower aubmitted
to pay interest considerably exceeding per cent. per
annum.
Five per cent. was the maximum that had Loth
paid to the Bank of England on deposit of 140hequer
bills at any time since the year 1889 (when money
was remarkably scarce), and Sir James Shaw
appears to have invariably conformed to the
Bank interest. But in the account of Messrs. R,
and W. Hichens and Harrison several instaraos are
found of 6 and 7 per csat„ taken in 18'iti and 1841,
for periods from 4 d.4y to six wwits. There is no
reason, however, to believe that these charges were
at the time beyond the ordinary rates of interest
paid in the general money market, for which the
rate taken at the Bank forms no ah,spAute or invariable
standard.

Rapalld. ,
Messrs. Ransom and Co., bankers, had, previously
to the public discovery of the fraud, employed Messrs.
William and James Morgan as their stockbrokers for
upwards of twenty,years. About May, 1836, Messrs.
William and James Morgan introduced Mr. Solari to
Messrs. Ransom and Co.;• and Mr. Solari imme-
diately afterwards opened an account with them,
which began by his paying in 1,4901.; and some
months afterwards their opinion of his respectability
was confirmed by a transaction referred to by Mr.
p. 390, which led them to the inference of his
having influence with one of the Railway Companies.
In June, 1836, Mr. Solari applied to these bankers
for, and obtained from them, several loans on the se-
security of Exchequer bills (or instruments purporting
td he such), amounting on the whole to 3,0001., all of
which were paid off on the Sth August following,
though the first of them only then had become due.
From this period to the 23d June, 1840, inclusive (as
more fully appears from the Account, p. 384), further
advance's were from time to.time made by the bank to
Mr. Solari on the like securities,, at such rates of in-
rest as in that account set foal'', and to the amount
altogether of 53,0001., viz., 9,0001. in 1837, 7,0001. in
1833, 11,0001. in 1839, and 26,000/. in 1810 ; and at
the date last mentioned, of 23d June, 1840;.a balance
of 37,000/. was due on-this loan account to the bank
(the remainder having been paid off), which balance
remained unaltered to the'time of his death in October
following.
After his death, Mrs. Solari, his vvidow and execu-
trix, expressed a desire to 'continue the account for
some time, and introduced Rapallo (whom the Bank
had not before known) as her friend, with whose as-
sistance she wished to continue the business pursued
by her late husband (p. 17). No new adrance, how-
ever, was made, but the former balance remained out-
standing until 6th March, 1841, when the bank
having required that the account should be reduced,
16,0001. was paid off, leaving a balance of 21,000/.
In the same month, being the period of the March ex-
Changes,- some of the bills then in depo;it were ex-
changed by Rapallo (by the hands of Messrs. Wm.
and James • Morgan) for fifteen others ; and in the
Jun'e 'following,' being the period of the June ex-
ChangeS;-the'reMainder of the old bills were in like
manner exchanged for six others ; and the twenty-
one bills thus given in substitution are the bills on
which' the present claim is made • these having re-
triained in the hands of Messrs. Ransomf and Co. at
the time of the public discovery of the fraud, anti:4 j
21,0001.,' with all interest from 30th September' ast
being then and still wholly unpaid.

Berckem, William Mariner, E. Rapallo.
Mr. De Berckem was introduced to the Commer-
cial Bank by Mr. Oxenford, one of their- -Directors
(who had known him some years under the circum-
stances mentioned in Mr. Oxenford's evidence) with
the view of his obtaining from the Bank a loan on
Exchequer bills.
Between the period of his first introduction to the
bank, which was about 14th May, 1841, and that of
the public discovery of the fraud, considerable sums of
money were borrowed by him from the Commercial
Bank, secured by deposits of Exchequer bills (or in-
struments purporting to be such), and among others
the bills now in question, which last-mentioned bills
remained in the hands of the Commercial Bank until
the public discovery of the fraud.
The amounts and dates of these loans, and the rates
of interest charged thereon, are exhibited in the ac-
counts delivered in by Mr. Cutbill, p. 214, and Mr.

Mr. Nash,. a student at law, having occasion to place
out a sum of 2,0001. on some temporary security, ap-
plied on the 15th October, 1841, by advice of his soli-
citor, Mr. Parvillf to Mr. John Wray Scott (men-
tioned in Case VI.), whom Mr. Darvill had employed
as his stockbroker for four or five years ; and. Mr.
Scott being told by Mr. Nash that he was not in-
clined to nuy in the funds, recommended a loan on the
deposit of Exchequer bills,
On the day above mentioned, Mr. Nash accord-
ingly advanced to Mr. Scott 2,0001. for three months,
at the interest of per cent., and received from him,
by way of security, a deposit of the bills in question,
which remained in his hands at the time of the public
discovery of the fraud, which occurred about a week
afterwards.
The bills had been previously deposited with Mr.
Scott by Mr. De Berckem in the course of the
transactions between those parties that are described
in Case VI. (See Scott's Account A., pp. 154, 359 ;

Mr. Blake, a gentleman residing near Salisbury,
having occasion to lay out on security certain trust
money, advanced it to Mr. John Wray Scott (men-
tioned in Case VI.), the transaction with Mr. Scott
being effected for him through the intervention of one
of the managers of the Wilts and Dorset Bank, who
is Mr. Scott's brother.

The loan was made on the 9th of October, 1841,
for three months, at the interest of 4i per cent., Mr,
Blake receiving at the same time from Mr. Scott, by
way of security, a deposit of the bill in question, which
remained in his hands at the time of the public dis-
covery of the fraud ; which occurred about a fortnight
afterwards.

The bill had been previously deposited with Mr.
Scott by Mr. De Berckem, is the course of the trans-

Claimant—Henry Barnewall, Esq.
Series of Holders.—Henry Barnewall, F. T. De
Berckem, William Mariner, E. Rapallo. '
Mr. Barnewall is one of the Directors of the Com-
mercial Bank of London, mentioned in Case XXVI.
That bank having, on the 13th October, 1841, re-
called 5,0001., part of the monies advanced by them to
Mr. 1)e Berckem, as there mentioned, delivered up to
him five of the bills which they held as security for
that sum ; when Mr. Barnewall, who had 1,0001. trust
money at that time lodged with the Commercial
Bank, proposed to withdraw it from thence, and in-
vest it on the security of one of the bills so redeemed
by Mr. De Berckem. This arrangement accordingly
took place with Mr. De Berckem's consent; the
1,0001. being on the 14th October, 1841, transferred
to the credit of the latter at the Commercial Bank,
on loan from Mr. Barnewall for ten or twelve days at
51 per cent. and the bill in question deposited there,
by him, for Mr. Barnewall's security. It remained at
the Commercial Bank under these circumstances at
the time of the public discovery of the fraud, which
took place about a week afterwards.

2. As regards Mr. John Wray Scott and Mr. H.
Tomkins, it appears to us that as far as those circum-
stances are concerned which relate to the extent of
the deposits and the loss sustained by the borrower,
from having recourse to deposit instead of sale, they
are substantially in the same position as the parties in
the second class ; but we think it right, nevertheless,
to point out, that during a continued course of dealing
(which comprised, in the case of Mr. Scott, nearly
two years, and in the case of Mr, Tomkins ten
months), there are very numerous instances of interest
paid to them at 5} per cent., and that for very con-
siderable periods of time together, as will appear
more fully upon the tables exhibited by them, The
difference between this and 3 per cent, was the
remuneration payable to themselves as brokers,
and it might naturally have occurred to them
that as Mr. De Berckem, the party with whom
they were dealing, wa a broker, he would
probably charge in turn (as, in fact, he did)
6 per cent. in every one of these instances to
his principal; and there can be no doubt, upon the
evidenoe;.that six per cent. upon the deposit of Ex-
chequer Bills, for periods of such duration, was beyond
the common rate of interest in the money market. As
the point, however, to which we are now directing
attention, is, in our judgretnt, only so far material as
it may tend to raise the question whether these parties
exercised the caution that might reasonably have
been expected from them, it is right, in reference to
that question, to remark that they are both young
men, and that neither of them has been many years
in bualness on his own account.
3. As regards Mr. Levy, also, we feel it our duty
to observe, that we have no doubt the interest paid to
him, from 4 to 6f per cent., as stated in his evidence,
p. 151, exceeded the current rate at the time. This is
sufficiently apparent, from a consideration of the
charges made at the same dates by Messrs. R. and W.
Hiehnns and Harrison, indeed, l‘fr. Levy himself is
anxious to have it understood that these rates of in-
terest were net charged by him, but' spontaneously
offered Iv Mr. De Berckent'a clerk. On the other
hand, however, it is proper to remark, that the trans-
notions of Mr. Levy, now in evidence before us, are
by no means of the same extensive character as those
of the ether parties above partioularised.
O,Ii,,ASS W.—We now arrive at the consideration of
the fourth and last class, in which we place Willi-an
Mariner, Francis Tewneley De Berekem, William, and
James Morgan, and Edward Lloyd Morgan : for or Re-
pall°, it is, of course, unnecessary to say anytbiurg further.
With respect to William Mariner, Francis Towneley
Do Bercketn, and William and James Morgan, it is our
duty to state that the evidenee in relation to them, and
even that part of it (singly considered) which consists of
their own statements, some of the most prominent re-
sults of which are noticed in the early part of this Re-
port, impressed our minds with a doubt whether, at
the time when the bills with which they are respectively
connected, and whit h now form part of the subject or
our inquiry, eame to their hands, they did not all sus-
pect that, such bills had been obtained by Rapallo through
the medium of some fraud. And, on the other hand, we
entertain no doubt that, suppOsing any of them to have
been without snob suspicion, he is at least chargeable
with wont of proper caution in having become the holder
of
de u the bills under the circumstances detailed in the evi- I
ce.
With respect to Edward Lloyd Morgan, we collect
that he had no personal interest in any of the t sa
Lions in question, and negotiated the several b'llsranh* ch.
he received from the firm of William and Jaya Morganwic
in the capacity ot their clerk or agent only; e6th li;
between him and the several parties towhomouh as
de-
livered the bills, he Was the ostensible negotiator.dellissubordinate position with respect to the firni, an
tnthe
filial relation in which ho stood to the senior
entitle hikA 41, some measure to more favourabler coenr:
structiGn than the members of the firm themselves. But
he was, by his own admission, so well acquainted with
the nature and extent of their dealings with Solari and
Rapallo, and negotiated so many bills which he knew at
the time to have been received from those parties re-
spectively, that we fed ourselves obliged to express the
same doubt with regard to him that we have above ex-
pressed with regard to his employers. There is, how-

But the Question, whether' they corresponded
Or not with the charge made by otlwr persons,
appeared to us to be of the less importance,
because Messrs. R. and W. Itichens and Harrison
were able to prove that they made parallel loan at
the same rates, and at the same periods to other
parties not connected with any of the Exchequer
bills which are the subject of our inquiry, a fact that
strongly rebuts any untlavourable inference that would
at'iSti from the rates of interest paid to, thin by Mr.
L. Morgan, even supposin those rates to be in
themselves excessive; Messrs IZ. and W. ilichens and
Harrison also moved, that though the rates a inte-
mt were occasionally such as have been mentioned,
yet on an average, and taking the account from first
to last, they were considerably below 5 per cent.

ever, one . 411erently circumstanced from the test,
we mean Case 1., in which . the firm of William and
James Morgan appear to have had no concern wht;tever,
and in which he acted entirely on the private account
of Mr. Cook. In this particular case we feel no difficulty_
in pronouncing E bard Lloyd Morgan clear from all
imputation either of fraud or negligence.
It only remains to advert to the bills which are not
the subject of claim.
There are two different sets thus circumstanced,
and their numbers are as follow
Nos.-6,404--6,413, 6,415, 6,433,6,460-6,464

The first set were delivered up to the Chancellor
of tke Exchequer by Mr. F. De Berckem, under cir-
cumstances that are detailed in the evidence. They
had all been received by him from Rapallo in 1—•
course of the transactions between those parties that .
have been before described, the only distinction
among them being that some had been negotiated on
behalf of Rapallo and afterwards redeemed, and the
rest had never passed out of Mr. De Berckem's hands.
The second set were received by Mr. Tomliins
(mentioned in Case I.) from Mr. De Berckhem, iti
the course of the transactions between those parties
that are described in the same case, and were after-
wards deposited by Mr. Tomkins with the Bank
England as security for money advanced to him by
the Bank. That loan was redeemed on the.22d of I
October, 1841, and Mr. Tontkins received back 4116
bills in question from the Bank, but was requested by
Mr. De Berckem to retain them for the present in
his own hands, as more particularly stated in Mr. •
Tomkins's evidence, p. 273, and see \fr. De Berckem'S
evidence, p. 329.
It may be proper here to subjoin the remark that •
there are fifteen bills (being the second set in Case •
XXXI.) on which claim made is to a partial extent
only. It is also to be recollected that we have re-.
ported ae-ainst the claim even to that extent. Sup-
posing this to be disallowed, it will follow of course,.
that in addition to the fifty-seven bills above referred
to, there are fifteen more in respect of which no. loss
can mccrue to the public, even supposing no question
to arise upon any of the other cases comprised in our
Report.
We subjoin a full statement of the evidence Which "

ROYAL VISIT TO SCOTLAND..
PROGRESS OF THE ROYAL SQUADRON..
TO SCOTLAND.
From the accounts received yesterday it appears
that the Royal squadron, after passing Orfordness on
Monday evening, reached Southwold at about half-
past nine o'clock, where her Majesty was received by
a Royal salute, fired by a party of the Coast-gutrd•
service from a small gun battery on the beach. The
squadron at the time was bearing towards the roads
outside of the Gunfleet sands in a north-easterly ,aft.
section. The fleet was at least nine miles out at sea.
It however acknowledged the reception by the dis-
charge of blue lights from the mast-heads cif the
steamers.
1 •
From that hour the Royal squadron is supp)sed to
have been greatly delayed by the weather bs_eanfing'
foggy and the progress of the steamers rs,duced tg
half speed. When within a few miles of Ysirraouth it,
was met by a Norwegian barque, called ttse Minerva;'
on her passage to London, wind according to, the state-
ment made by the master on the vessci's arrival the
following morning (Tuesday) in the roads off Aldbo-
rough, it was a miracle that a collision did not take
place between them. He says. he was, running up
with a slight breeze from the north-s-sist, when sud-
denly the Royal George yacht hove in sight towed by
two steamers; the paddles of which he had previously •
heard, but did not suppose them to be so close, on ac-
count of the- thick state of the atmosphere. At the
rate the steamers were proceeding, it is considered
that her Majesty Would pass the Dudgeon at about;
eight o'clock, and Flamborough Head at half-prsst
four o'clock in the afternoon."
Several traders from Shields and Newcastle, on
their voyage to London, passed the Royal squailron,
the same day in crossing the " Deeps," and resorted
on their arrival in the Yarmouth Roads that the
Royal
George yacht had signals hoisted at the mast-head to
the effect that " all's well." •
The General Steam Naviration Company's steamer
the Vivid, arrived last night off London-bridge-wharf,
from Hull, having left that place' between two and three o'clock on Tuesday morning, It was to have
met the Royal squadron off the 'lumber, but it had,
passed some time before. Towards the evening it .
came on blowing a' stiff gale of wind from the north-
west. This lasted the whole night, with a heavy sea.
PRE IAR A.TION AT GItA.NTO.N PIEYt,
EDINBURGH, A. foNnav EVENlNG.—llranton Pier,
the greatest public work that has ever been under-
taken in this kingdom by the munificence of a private
individual, has been oxecuted at the, sole exper.se of his Grace the 'Duke of Buccleuch. Although 'it is
not yet finished, Scotland does ,not possess a more commodious, more spacious, and safer land;ng-plaCe,
than Granton Pier. It is situated on his Grace's. estate of Caroline Park, and within two and a half
mike of Edinburgh. The length. of the pier is ',irk
feet. In all, there are 12 berths or jetties, for the ae- •
commodation of vessels and. ships of all sizes. A
slip or inclined plane on each side extends the /ength
of 325 feet, for the convenience of shipping aral land-
ing cattle at all states of the tide. The extreme end
of the pier will be nearly 200 feet in width, with a
jetty across the end, so that vessels of the largest
draught of water can have access to it at all times.
Here a spacious lighthouse is to be placed for the
guidance of vessels taking the pier at night, to b 4
lighted from sunset to sunrise, in room of which is
temporary red light is at present exhibited. So far
are the whole works advanced, that it is expeetei this
national undertaking, Air which Scotland owes a deep
debt of gratitude to the Noble Duke, will 'oe com-
pleted by the ktter end of 1843.
The stone of which this splendid pile of masonry ,
has been constructed has been quarried fan the pro-
perty of his Grace, about a mile from tb.e pier. The
quarry was discovered by accident, and, opened shortly-
after the commencement of the pier, in which have
been found two splendid fossil trees, of extraorditsary
dimensions, one of them GO feet in length, and, ave- •
raging four feet in diameter. rsrom this quarry was
lately obtained the immense block lately sent to Lon-
don for the Nelson monume.,,t, weighing 32 tons, and
of which so much has been recently written in the
journals,
The road which the Royal cortege passes along,
extending from the pirsr to the East Edinburgh-road,
is 55 feet broad, con structed also at the sole expense
of the Noble Duke. At the opening of this road, com-
manding a splentN view of the pier, his Grace has
erected a lure scaSald, to be covered with scarlet
cloth, to accommodate such of his friends as cannot
find windows in the hotel. The largest room in the
hotel his Grace reserves for himself and his more im-
mediate friends; the rest of the windows commanding
a view of the landing have been let by the landlord at,
high prices.

'The arrangements for the landing are as follow •......
If the wind he westerly, the Royal yacht wil', be
brought to the fourth east jetty; if easterly, t A the
fifth west jetty. These two jetties correspor d with '
