THE EXCHEQUER-BILL AFFAIR

EXAMINATION AT THE MANSION-HOUSE OF ONE or THE
PARTIES CHARGED WITH HAVING BEEN CONCERNED
IN ISSUING THE FORGED EXCHEQUER-BILLS.
On Wednesday, an Italian of the name of Ernest Ra-
pallo, who is described as a stock-broker, was brought up
before Alderman Wilson, at the mansion-house, charged with
having been a confederate with Mr. Beaumont Smith in is-
suing false and fabricated bills, purporting to be exchequer-
bills, to a heavy amount.
The chief clerk in the office of Mr. Maule, the secretary of
the treasury, appeared for the prosecution ; and the following
deposition, taken before Mr. Hall, the magistrate, at the
treasury, was produced in evidence against the accused.
Ernest Rapallo being cautioned as to what he might say,
stated as follows :—I became acquainted with Mr Beaumont
Smith a great many years ago. I introduced a gentleman to
him, with whom he became very intimate. His name was
Salari. He was a kind of broker. Mr. Salari died about a
year ago, and about that time I came direct in contact with
Mr. Smith about the exchequer-bills, at which time I took
the management of a certain speculation which I had been
on, but was left with all the heavy part of the business after
Mr. Salari's death.

I received from Mr. Smith (these exchequer-bills to
carry on the speculation. The last time I received any is
about a fortnight ago. He called at my office in the city.
To the best of my recollection there were 81 bills at £l,OOO
each. I cannot speak positively to the number, but I think
about that number. They were placed in my hands for the
purpose of raising money on them. I asked him if he could
do anything for me in the regular way, and he came to me
and brought them.

The only particularity with him was his request to have
the same number returned to him.
1 knew what situation Smith held.

I knew the bills were not his his property.
I did not consider it was my business to ask him whether
it was a regular thing. It never occurred to me that it was
an irregular thing. Smith was so far concerned in the spe-
culation that he furnished me with the means of carrying it
on. He was to have a portion of the profits in the event of
success.

Smith has lodged exchequer bills from time to time with
Mr. Salari, which I knew, and after his death I considered
it an established thing.
I applied to Smith and asked him if he could assist me to
pay for Spanish bonds. He came to my office with a parcel,
and asked me how I was going on. I told him I was going
on well, and then it was he gave me the exchequer bills which
I last received ; after which I raised money upon them, with
which I paid for the Spanish stock.

Several of the bills are now in the hands of Mr. Mariner.
I never paid him money upon the bills.
I knew Smith had nothing but exchequer bills to give
me. Any transactions that took place previous to the one I
have mentioned were of a similar nature.

Several such transactions have taken place, and all within

a year,

I should at all hazards have sold stock to redeem the
exchequer bills.
Smith demurred sometimes on lending me as many bills as
I have asked him for.

Smith was particular in having the bills returned at a
given time.

- I can't say how many bills are now in Mariner's hands.
I know he must have a good many.
Mr. Morgan, another broker, knew what was going on.
1 knew when the bills must be paid, which was when the
advertisement appeared.

The most transactions of this sort I have had with Smith
can only be three, and the last was the greatest in amount.
I have returned all the bills I have received from Smith. I
should say he never transacted such business with any one
but myself.
I had deposits made in my hands before Salari's death.
The last return was between £lOO,OOO and £200,000, which
was in June last ; and the one in March was about the same
amount.

I should think the two exchanges amounted to upwards of
£200,000. Since the June exchange there would be about
£131,000.
I always wrote to Smith, when I wanted the bills, to the
Exchequer-office.
I was always of opinion that the bills furnished to me by
Smith were bond fide good ones.

(Signed)
Taken before me, T. J. Hall,
Justice of the Peace for the County of
Middlesex, Oct., 1841.

E. RAPALLO.

A long discussion subsequently took place as to the power
of the magistrate to commit upon this evidence, or even to
detain the prisoner in custody ; but it was ultimately decided
that the evidence was sufficient to warrant his detention,
and he was therefore remanded until twelve o'clock yester-
day, when the government solicitor undertook to be prepared
to prove the fact of the forgeries.
The London Times of yesterday has the following remarks
on the influence which this disgraceful affair has upon the
money market

" It is rather singular that amidst all the discussion to
which this affair of the spurious Exchequer-bills has given
rise, no notice has been taken of the influence which, beyond
all doubt, they must have had upon the current transactions
of the money-market, and upon the value of money itself.
Yet this is a very important and curious feature of the ques-
tion. It is a known fact amongst the higher monetary cir-
cles, that the excessive rates of interest not only paid, but
voluntarily offered, by the persons who wished to borrow
money on Exchequer-bills, gave a fictitious value to
money, which caused a very great deal of misunder-
standing and ill-feeling amongst capitalists, especially
those residing in the country, and who therefore were less
able to ascertain the real state of the case. These, hearing
that money had been advanced on such an unexceptionable
security as Exchequer-bills—a security which has generally
obtained the lowest rate of interest—and that as much as 6
or 7 per cent. had been paid for it, were naturally dissatisfied
when they were offered only 3 or 4 per cent., and were less
disposed to give accommodation on mercantile paper. A
city discount-house, of the highest eminence, received no
less than 50 letters within the last six weeks, containing
complaints that the money of the writers was not put out at
a higher rate, though there is no doubt that it was employed
to its full legitimate value. Thus has this unfortunate
affair not only caused the greatest embarrassment to govern-
ment, and the greatest confusion among all parties con-
nected with the Exchequer-bill market, but the general
money-market, and the value of commercial paper, has had
its share of the influence, and is mixed up in the embarrass-
ment."

LOSS OF THE BARQUE AMANDA OF LIMERICK

(From the Limerick Standard.)
It is with deep regret that we record to-day the wreck of
this fine vessel, the property of our fellow-citizen, George
Williams, Esq., attended with the loss of forty-one lives.
She left this port on the 22d of August last with emigrants,
and was driven ashore off Metis, on the 26th September, and
totally lost. The greater portion of the crew and passengers
took to the boats, which soon swamped, and all were lost ;
the captain, some of the crew and passengers, who were left
on the wreck, were saved. The following we take from the
Quebec Mercury of October 5
'a SHIPWRECK OF THE BARQUE AMANDA.—FORTY-
ONE LIVES LOST.—In the Gazette of Friday last we in-
formed our readers that Captain Buchanan of the ship Scot-
land, had seen off Metis a ship on shore, which, to all ap-
pearance was a total wreck. Yesterday morning the sub-
joined melancholy confirmation of that report was received
Messrs. W. Price and of this city, from
haveby Co.,
been favoured with the following extract :
, 29TH SEPTEMRER, 1841.-1 have to inform
which
a ImetieTe letter, by
you of the loss of the barque Amanda, Captain Davis, from
Limerick, which came on shore at Little Metis Point, at five
o'clock, on the 26th instant. She had forty passengers, and
a crew of eighteen. The captain, two seamen, and two ap-
prentices were amongst those saved. Male adults lost eleven
—female adults lost twelve,—total adults twenty-three.
Children lost six.—Total passengers lost twenty-nine. Total
crew lost 12."

The demise of the Bishop of Kilmore creates no vacancy
on the episcopal bench at the see, but merges into that of
Elphin.
On Tuesday week last, two horses, which had escaped from
a field through a gate which had been most improperly left
open, strayed on to the North Union Railway, and while
there, the mail train came up, and they were killed upon the
spot. One of them was absolutely cut in two.

Via })rat azanably of the new corporation took plase on
Monday last, in the city Assembly-house, William;atrret.
From an early 11:,ur the streets adjoining the Assembly-house
were filled with crowds of persons, who evinced their gratifi-
cation throughout the day in the most uproarious manner.
Alderman Arabin rose and said, that he proposed, with
feelings of the greatest pride and pleasure, that that man to
whom Ireland was so much indebted, Alderman Daniel
O'Connell, should be the first Lord Mayor under the new
municipal corporation act. (Great cheering.)
Alderman George Roe seconded the nomination. He felt
much flattered in being called on to perform the duty, because
he believed there was no gentleman in that city so well
qualified to fill the situation, or so well entitled to the dis-
tinction which his fellow-citizens sought to confer on him as
Alderman Daniel O'Connell. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Alderman Joseph Boyce said, that before voting on
this occasion, he wished to ask the honourable gentleman
what course he meant to pursue with regard to the agitation
of the repeal of the union, if elected Lord Mayor.
Alderman O'Connell said, that if he had the honour of
being elected Lord Mayor, no man should know what his
politics were. (Hear, hear.) As a private individual, he
was a repealer, being thoroughly convinced it would benefit
all classes of his fellow countrymen. (Cheers.) These opini-
ons he held as a man, and he pledged himself, if elected to
the office of Lord Mayor, that his conduct should be charac-
terised by the strictest adherence to the most delicate impar-
tiality. (Hear, hear.)
Sir Edward Borough, Bart., then rose and said, I regret
that, on the first meeting of the corporate body returned
under the municipal act which has come into operation, want
of unanimity and diversity of opinion should have arisen ;
but, as considerable apprehension exists that the town coun-
cils will be converted into normal schools of agitation, 1 feel
it to be my duty not to shrink from giving to those who are
anxious that this country should enjoy that peace and that
repose which it so much requires, an opportunity of recording
their votes against the appointment to the office of Chief Ma-
gistrate of this city, of one whose language hitherto, as a
public man, has not been such as to justify the expectation
that his course of conduct, while in office, will be likely to
bring about results so desirable, so earnestly wished for by
the moderate of all parties. I cannot, however, but be con-
scious of the majority by which the learned alderman's elec-
tion will be carried ; yet I would venture to tell that majority
that it will not be the fault of the conservatives with whom I
act, if want of harmony, if want of concord characterise the
proceedings of our meetings. We are most anxious, most
desirous to co-operate, to go hand in hand with them in every
measure which may have for its object the reformation of
real abuses, the reduction of local taxation, or the general
welfare of the citizens by whom we have been elected. On
the other hand, I will frankly avow, that we are equally de-
termined to resist, inch by inch, to the utmost of our ability,

every attempt to overthrow the institutions, or to sever the
ties which we most value, or to convert this place of assembly
into an arena for political agitation.
Mr. Boyce said, that the answer of Mr. O'Connell did not
satisfy him. He thought that his acts as a private individual
and as Lord Mayor could not be severed, and until he pledged
himself not to agitate the repeal question, he would vote
against him, for he believed the question to be the most mis-
chievous one which could be brought forward in a commercial
country, destructive as it must prove of the confidence which
should exist between one nation and another, and injurious
to the free circulation of capital.
Alderman Butt stated that he did not intend to ask for a
division, and the chairman announced Mr. O'Connell duly
elected as Lord Mayor.

Mr. O'Connell hn'ying subscribed the requisite declaration,
took his seat in the chair, and was received with loud and
prolonged cheering. He rose and said that he feared he was
violating his pledge of impartiality by permitting that ebulli-
tion. It was his first fault, and he hoped it would be the last,
for he should endeavour by his conduct as Lord Mayor to
palliate, if he could not justify, the elogium of his friends,
and would endeavour to show that voting against him was a
mistake. (Loud cries of hear, hear.) He thanked Alderman
Butt for the inoffensive mailer in which he bad conducted
his opposition, and he assured him it would be his pride to
imitate his conduct while in that chair. He then proceeded
to call the attention of the Corporation to the duties they have
to perform, and to state the principles by which he meant to
guide his conduct as Lord Mayor. He said he intended to
abolish the practice of " private hearings" of cases at the
Mansion-house, and in future to conduct every judicial pro-
ceeding openly and publicly. (Hear, hear.) He meant to
admit to freedom of the city as heretofore by the right of
birth and servitude, and he would also sanction the claim in
consequence of marriage. He pledged himself to preserve
the strictest impartiallity in the discharge of the functions of
the office entrusted to him, and impressed on the various mem-
bers of the corporation the necessity of ascertaining the nature
of the duties they had undertaken, and of paying strict at-
tention to their discharge.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-MONDAY

(Before Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.)
IN UE T. S. CAVE.

EXTRAORDINARY SPECULATION IN MINES.—This was
the day fixed for the final examination of the bankrupt. He
was deeply engaged in mining speculations in Cornwall a few
years ago, and having been comparatively successful in his
first attempts, he soon obtained the reputation of being a
" fortunate" man, and having embarked in an increased
number of a similar nature, he obtained " subscriptions"
from clergymen in Kent to the amount of £lOO,OOO and up-
wards, and from one member of parliament alone (Colonel
Rushbrook, M.P.) no less than £75,000. The mines turned
out to be almost a total failure.

The learned Commissioner asked if any solicitor was in
attendance to put any questions to the bankrupt touching
his accounts, as, if not, he would not delay his last examina-
tion for more than a few days.
Mr. Nias, a solicitor, who attended for several creditors,
said that from a severe inquiry by himself, and also from in-
formation which he had derived from the official assignee, he
(Mr. N.) was perfectly satisfied with the accuracy of the
bankrupt's accounts, as presented to the court by Mr. Hut-
ton, the accountant, at the express desire of the creditors.
Sir C. F.' Williams.—! am obliged to the official assignee
for his very effective examination of these voluminous ac-
counts, for I confess that my early impressions of the case
were very different from those which I now entertain, having
given it in the meantime my most anxious consideration.
Mr. Nias.—My clients, your honour, fully share in your
feeling, although they are fully satisfied that they will never
get any thing by delaying the bankrupt's final examinarion,
they still believe the accounts to he accurate.

Sir C. F. NI illiams.—l thought it almost impossible, until
the present case, that an estate, in which so large a sum as
£260,000 had been embarked, should have ended in produc-
ing nothing : but in justice to the bankrupt, and as affording
some satisfaction to the creditors and the public (who could
not reasonably have been satisfied if the utmost vigilance had
not been exercised in the investigation of the bankrupt's ex-
traordinary afiairs,) I shall proceed to put some few questions
to him, in order that he may have an opportunity of explain-
ing how it happened that so large a sum should have been
expended, and end in producing nothing but " cobwebs."
It must really appear to be incredible to the world.
The bankrupt was then sworn; and in examination by the
Learned Commissioner, gave the following evidence :—I was
for many years in the War-office, at a good salary; and about
the year 1829 or 1830 I first commenced my view of entering
into mining speculations, and had property to begin with to
the amount of £12,000 or £13,000, partly in cash and partly
in an estate mortgaged to a Mr. M`Donnel for about £20,000.
I never put out any flaming prospectuses nor seductive ad-
vertisements to induce any party whatsoever to join me, nor
did I ever ask any one to join me who actually did so. On
the contrary, all those who did join me were actually
" volunteers." I collected £360,000 in subscriptions in the
course of five or six years, and many persons, from whom I
now hold letters in my hand, pressed me to allow them to
subscribe to the speculation.

Several letters were here handed up to the learned com-
missioner, and, after their perusal, he said that he did not
feel it right to mention the names of those persons who had
flung themselves into so profitless a speculation.
Examination continued—l did not know the names of the
writers of some of these letters ; and so many pressed to join
me, that I told them that I must reduce the interest from
10 to 7 per cent.
Sir C. F. Williams—Such delusion, such infatuation
would scarcely be credible, if we had it not upon oath before
us.

The Bankrupt—Only two persons ever made any inquiry
as to the produce of the " mines," or the nature of the ac-
counts, as the mines had a very " high reputation," and I
think they are very valuable still.
Sir C. F. Williams—lndeed ! and they never realised one
shilling for the creditors. We shall have no such delusion
here. What was the amount of interest which you paid
upon those subscriptions, and from what funds did you de-
rive it?

Bankrupt—The amount was £60,000, derived from the
subscriptions, and so acknowledged by me.
Sir C. F. Williams—l am thus endeavouring to give you
an opportunity of setting yourself right with the public,
whose impression must have been against you from what
transpired at your former examination. I also wish to show
the public the gross imprudence which the subscribers to
this absurd speculation have committed, while many of them,
I fear, have been ruined. The ten per cent. interest was also
paid out of the subscribers' own funds ; and yet it was some-
thing in favour of the bankrupt that all this delusion was
created, not by his deception or alluring insinuations, but by
the whispers of one to another that the speculation was likely
to yield them their ten per cent. What, Mr. Graham, was
the produce of the mines ?

Mr. Graham (the official assignee)—The mines never
yielded any profit from the beginning; but two of those, in
which the bankrupt held some shares, produced £lB,OOO.
By the Learned Commissioner.—Did you, Mr. Cave, ever
give any one any particular character of those mines ?
The Bankrupt.—Never, except the printed account of the
sale of the different ores ; and to pay the 10 per cent. upon
the advances, which would have required an annual profit of
£36,000, which I was not allowed sufficient time to realise.

What is meant by the " Cook's Kitchen ?"—lt is the
name of a mine which realised £2,000 a year. No one ever
asked me for any certificate or voucher as to the quality of
the mines, nor did 1 ever ask any one to give me the slight-
est recommendation. _ . .

At your last examination you said that your best mine was
sold, and your second best settled on your wife. Which
was that second best ?—The Godolphin ; and such is the ge-
neral estimate of its value, that parties have since advanced
me from £30,000 to £40,000 upon it; besides which, the
money has all been kept in this country.
That is your philosophical reflection ; but I think the best
thing would have been if you had saved it for your creditors.
Your friend Captain Richards, the manager of the mines,
and who knew best about them, never subscribed a shilling.
—I would not allow him, and though he did not subscribe,
his uncle, a most respectable miner, did. I now owe Capt.
Richards about £22,000, and he was to have had £6OO a year
for his management, as the expenditure was equal to
£lOO,OOO a year. There are only three or four of the mines
now at work.

I observe that £121,000 was advanced by a very moderate
number of the clergy—is that so ?—lt is so ; and I ceased
paying the 10 per cent. after the end of the year 1838. There
was a registry of all the shareholders, which any one who
thought proper might have inspected at any time, and there
was no concealment of any sort. The only funds in the
banker's hands for the use of the creditors were two sums of
£5 2s. and £1 10s.
The abstaact of the balance sheet, as handed in by Mr.
Hutton shows the following particulars :—To cash £1703 3s.
5d., beside an estate in the Kent-road, valued at £BOOO ; also
several shares soldin mines in Cornwall ,value £326,844 ss. 4d.;
creditors, £37,230 10s. 4d. ; liability, £soo—making a total
of £366,277 19s. Id. The credits are stated to be—good
debts, £1165 16s. 10d. ; bad debts, £6202 17s. 6d. ; balance
at banker's, £5 10s. Bd. ; property nothing ; profit and loss
account for property expended in the mines by Mr. C.,
£339,792 Os. 10d. ; house and private expenses from 1833 to
1840, £ll,lll 13s. 3d. ; liability per contra, £soo—giving a
total of £366,271 19s. ld.
Sir C. F. Williams—l think it should be made known to
the bankrupt's creditors, and the public, that the court deems
his explanations to be satisfactory, but it is at the same time
awful to think how so many been
of education, rank, and
station in society could have been deluded, by their own in-
fatuation alone, of the enormous sum of £360,000. Unless
cause be shown to the contrary, I shall pass the bankrupt
this day week.
