of the degrees of guilt which the evidence attached to each. With regard to Stapleton, his Lordship, though he thought the law officers of the Crown had done right in including him in the indictment, intimated his expectation that the case as against him would have been abandoned at the close of the evidence; adding that if the jury took the same view of the case that he did, Stapleton would leave the court without a stain on his character, and that if he should at any time return to his profession of a barrister, he should be glad to see him practising in any court over which he presided. With regard to Macleod, although there was more evidence against him there was no positive proof: he was not a speculator, and he had obtained no advances from the bank. He had purchased a large number of shares, and invested in them 5000l., and instead of speculating in them he had made them the subject of

his marriage-settlement. Against Owen, he thought a more serious case had been made out; but he had invested all his savings in the bank, and had not derived any benefit from it. His Lordship bore strongly against the other defendants, acquitting Esdaile of having derived any benefit from the bank, or obtained any money from it.

The jury found all the defendants Guilty, recommending Stapleton, Kennedy, Owen and Macleod strongly to mercy. On Brown, Esdaile and Cameron the Lord Chief Justice passed a sentence of one year's imprisonment, adding that they had been convicted "on the clearest evidence, of an infamous crime," On Kennedy, nine months' imprisonment; on Owen, six months; on Macleod, three months; on Stapleton, "I cannot conscientiously order you to do more than pay a fine of 1s. to Her Majesty, and be discharged."
