The frauds above described have, of course, formed the principal cases,--cases which from their flagrancy and extent have either been made the subject of parliamentary investigation, or have so occupied the attention of the press as to have become grave subjects of public discussion. Besides those leading cases, there have been, as we have before hinted, a certain number that have been concealed from the public from motives which, though they may have been open to question, we cannot characterise as wholly bad or unwise. From two Returns issued at different times on motions made in the House of Commons, we are enabled to compile a complete list of those frauds that have been officially reported to the National Debt Office. The first Return embraces the period between 1844 and 1852, and the second, 1852 to 1857. The numerous frauds of which we have already spoken, or to which we have referred, occurring before 1844, and the important ones perpetrated since 1857, are not included in the following list. The gross amount of loss would have been considerably swelled had a perfect list been possible. As it is, the following table gives the name of the Bank, the amount of the Fraud, and the amount of the Loss to depositors, so far as it can be correctly ascertained:-- +----------------------+--------------+----------------+------------+ | Name of Bank. | Total | Defaulters. | Depositors | | | Defalcations.| | Loss. | +----------------------+--------------+----------------+------------+ | _England._ | £ | | £ | |Bradford, Wilts | 400 | Actuary | -- | |Bromley | 932 | Actuary | -- | |Dunmow | 16 | -- | -- | |Highgate | 700 | Secretary | -- | |Newport, Isle of Wight| 8,156 | Secretary | 7,850 | |Leicester | 689 |{Clerk employed}| -- | | | |{ by Secretary.}| | |Mitcham | 10,000 | Actuary | -- | |Newtown | 180 | -- | 180 | |Ongar | 497 | Actuary | -- | |Poole | 6,221 | Secretary | 5,663 | |Reeth | 230 | -- | 147 | |Rochdale | 71,715 | Actuary | 37,433 | |Rugby | 1,438 | Secretary | -- | |Runcorn | 98 | Actuary | -- | |St. Helen's | 12,932 | Secretary | 6,680 | |Southport | 200 | Actuary | -- | |Spilsby | 3,213 | Actuary | 2,436 |
