[" 15s YEAR-R0, seh THB CONSOLIDATED BYNK, PROSECUTION OF TRE Draliorors \u201cVOR FALSIPÉING RETURN tp Charge of the Judge to the Jury.- Bir Francis Hincks Pojui Gutliy.THE JUDOR's CHARGE, Mr.Justice Monk, at Montreal, in summing up, said ; This couse is to me 8 more painful and rogreiable one than ty of the painful eases which hive beén brough bétore' ie.It is to be regrotted fur 8 variety of reasons.ot, gentlemen of the jury, must exclude trom your minds uh thought of the misery caused by the collupse of the Bauk, and give y our verdiet strict I upon the evidence snd the law in o cave.You must slew sxciude any considerations arising from the various high itions which the defendant has filled, though you must fire due weight to the churuotor he as enjoyed as & man, against whom at least, to the best of ny knowledge, nothing derogatory hms ever bun char, ed revious to this action.Whilo-exeluding any influence whioh bis high station might exerciwe on your tminda, you must at the'same time give due cenvideration to his genoral character.You are uware as well as I, that bank directors are selested not from their spegial knaw- ledge of banking, but on sccount of their position, their high.character, their wealth, or the confidence which the public bas in their integrity.Thess gentleman have other avocations to fullow, and it is not to be expected that they should look into all the details of a bank.What is required of them iw to attend the regaise meetings, and have a gonural view of the business of the ok.There is a staff of uffiocre aou- nectyd with the.bunk-~the paid Preuident, the Genera) Manager, snd various subordinate officers.The ordinar director must have confidence in ble co-dirvetor, and, if he has 4 paid Prosident, or a Vice-President, he must rely oo the General Manager until be susprcls thet something wrung or dis- houest is going on in the bank.While in sotue cases the Prenident is elected upon precisely the sume grounds, and for procivety the same motives, ns the other Directors, in others he is seleeLed for his special aptitude for thu Lusiouse of the bask, and is expeoted to devote his whole time, or the principal portion of it, to the bank's suite, .1 have no'doubt Sir Francis Hincks was selected in the first instance for his high chardetor and eminent ability, and certainly the seleotivn of such x man was esdoulated Lo inspire conf- depce in the publie.The.obligations resting upon Sir Francis Hinoke were diitewet from those of an diginary Director.You will confer that pont in cunnestion with the éned; sind ac tach what importande you in: J Hx At to bis being a pitd uBgial.T would caft your ant in the fret instance, te (hose loans from other banks.Naw this statement is olthot trad or false in facv.If trod in feet, cdl th charge that thé dalotiedt \u20ac, fi ind deceptive ia e and \u20ac toile.Wi parlicalst to the ground.In regard te Laos loupe).ww the statement 6dlcui Ww de ceive the public?I think you\u2019 bave heard evidences étôügh to lorm your own opinion of that point.Yuan bave heard\u201d when thus lonne mere made and their extent, also that for one of those loans a large amowit of dispoyat- od notes\u2018 ns collateral seouriiy wus given, the effect of which was thes thesy wery in reality lonns to the Conptite Bank.T ho fact of the bank aving thought propet to givy deposit \u2018Ueecoiyis for \u201cthen dood FA al tor\u201d the fact of their being loans, us thas was a matlor of form options! with eittrer bank.A good desl of stress was laid by the: defence on the pojut thi} amounts not boing oti imeedim.tely tbuy should nas have been entered te amyunis Jue Lo othar benks.Ir Jou ure uatisficd that these were tuaits, the tact of deposit reveipid having tr givon dose not aller the ngtury of the trunsmotion.If you think they ought Lo be entered as a loan, you will 80¢ Lhat in that particular this retain is false, do nut desire to edgy Upon hv ponsogéogocé of sch dugupe y ea dass crise it.in tbe way which, the, evidenes.mould probape tity, bessuse making 1 1 br yor decision of th .P08 | will Bay little difficulty in somisg tp iol ogy MUC!

current.\u201d It is gon.tendod that this itew is false, that there was included in it a Jarge amoant of demand notes, and not only that but that at the same time this return was made, even these demand notes were not discounted.If you think from tbe ovidence that thess were regulstly discounted nutes, you wiil consider tho return eorrect, but if it, brs been shown that they were onl tiscounted bétween the 2iih und 241 February, can you say they were properly entered § You have a perfost right to do so, bat ull I can tell you is, that it soemas to me this iv not a correct true and faithful represéutstion.It is an extraordinary position for overdue drufis to be found under heading No.11.You will \u2018have no diffieulty in forming your opinion as to the correct- nues of the f#éturh in this respect.Is tae rvturn wilfully decepuive ?But when you have got this far, there wm another point: Assuming for a moment that this return is false und ducoptive, as\u2018 alleged is the charge, wo have to éséertain whether it was wilfully made, and if you sre of the opinion that the accused wus misled that he signed 1t in good faith, and thut he exorcised the diligence a bank President ought 10 exercise in examining into Lhe carrectnuss of the retarn, all I oan tell you is that, slthough the return may be false, you will have to sequit the accused.If, on the\u2019 other band, taking inte considers.tion the position in which the President stood and his responsibitity, you think that ho knew thie was 8 false stuteméut, and in what \u2018praticalars it wad fulse, you must bring in u verdiot uiust bim.Did the acoused know that the Bank had been borrowing money from October to December, for the purpose of keeping itself up?If he did, he ought not to have signed the returns, and has beon guilty of making & deveptive statement.In regard to the other point, about the discounted Dotus, they bear dates in November.Do you think he as Pre: sident of the bank was cognizant of the fact that they wore discounted only the 21st February?Was this concealed from bim all that time ?I must lel] you there seoms to be a good deal of secrecy connected with this bank.Lt is dificult to suppose that a President of a bank ia such & perilous position should not know what waa going on.With re gard to knowledge, I am bound wu tell you that in luw such a case of this description, as wus held in the cuse of tbe Glasgow Bank, it may bu very diicult to eataiplish dinobiiy that a gentleman in the position ot the accused knew of the irregularity.It is difficult 10 pet

irregularities.It would be difficult to show that the socused had this siatement prepared with the settled intention of deceiving the publie.He did it wittr the ihtew tion of inspiring confidenté in

\u201cguilty.\u201d CANADIAN INSTITUTR, Lecture by Dr.Daniel Wilson.At the oponing mesting for this sen- son of the Canadian Inetitate at Toronto on Saturday evening, the President, Lr.Duniel Wilson, delivered an address on \u201cA Comparison of the Succession of Archwologioal Periods in America with those of Europe.\u201d It was within the present century, he said, that srchmology had passed from mere antiquarianism into the rank of the science that it is.The history of the introduction of systematic method: into the science was olonrly traceable to the early years of this century, and to Co nhagen, where in the\u2019 year 1815 iy J Thomsen was appointed Beeretary of the Loyal Commision .or nreserving national antiquities.Thomsen, who bad carried on extensive oz- lorations in many parts of che Old orld, at once orgunized a system which resulted in the collestion within the museum set apart for the purin Copenhagen a very large num- for of weapons and instruments of different periods\u2014flint, stone, and bronze\u2014found in Scandinavian countries.We owed to Thomsen the ides of the Danish periods, which determined the classifieation of the archmological periods into a stone, a bronze, and an iron sge.This classification was speedily accepted as to Europe, and soon afier applicable to the world at large.Yet the geological life of Denmark was not more ancient tham that of Seotland aud Irvland and not so ancient as that of England.Not only was there no trace of a palmolithie period in Denmark, but it was not likely that such would ever be found and such speci- meos of flint instruments ard animaie found there all belonged to the neoli- thie period, Moreover the idea of a copper age developing iteslf into « bronze age, tnd thas followed by an iron age was clearly inapplicable to the condition of all countrios.This he proved by references to Afries, where iron mul bave preceded copper und bronze, and where the monu- mente of Euypt left no room for Question that iron was used there many ocenturivs before civilization dawned in Barope; to the Pacific and West Indian islands, where'the implements were made of shetls; and to Dr.Schliemunn's disooveries at the site of sncient Truy.Dr.Schliemann's discoveries originally passed through three saccessive riodw\u2014firt the historical period of Alexander of Mace dou, as evidenced by the discovery of the Temple of Atbens, builé in bis time ; next à period of bronme implements, the time of whioh we have no: neolithie period.~ Not svutent, however, with fanoying that he bad arrived ata finality, the arci st pareus ed his excavations until at a'deptb of 383 feut he eame upon.rumaids of s mtok higher type than any of the above \u2014 fine potiery, exquisité gold orna ments, beautiful necklaces, earrings, &c., and these ho regurded as t relies of the astual biswric Trof of Homer.Although we might well bd startled at the discovery of such remains as these, belanging to » period at least 1,200 years before Christ, yes there was 110 reason to set aside the general classification of Thomsen.Turnin, of Americs, it remained to be deter mined whether we had bore a pulmo.hithie period.We hud a neolithic riod, because we were living in ic, keh red Indian bad still bis rude implements of polished stone, and those of copper, which he regarded as stone rather than as metal.Americans bad been stimulated in an undue degree to a sense that it was something discreditable to the continent not to have s Imolithic period as wall as Burupe, und that therefore it was thelr duty to find une.After alloding to the discoveries of bumah ékalls and ithple- ments by Prof.Whitney, Thomas Bali Dr.Abbott, and otliers, which were supposed to be referrable té n pales: {thio age, he concluded that We bad a yoine aitisfhotiry ovidenot i the genursl vusge must bu depaey: \u2018a few words of onution to the jary and | an age, according wité thi kdoWn i historical data.The actual

this.The farther south on this continent wo went tbe more ancient were the remains of art and eivilization whieh we found, and as wo went northward the less perfétt arid less trequent (héré remains

the primitive|: savage survived.It appeared to bim thut the study of archmology ou this continent hud to be carried on with groat minuteness, care, and prudence, and in a fashion very different frown
