Smith and Ferdinand Lemieux of sending to the Government an erroncous statement of the bank‘s affairs. In the evidence it was shown that two notes in faâ€" vor of the bank, purporting to have been â€" signed respectively by â€" the agents of the Beaudry estate and Charles Lionais, had never been signâ€" ed by the partics, and in consequence a forgery is alleged to have been committed.

In addition to the three directors already mentioned, a warâ€" rant was fssued for Mr. Edward Lichtenheim, Viceâ€"President, and a director of the bank. Mr. Lichtenâ€" heim has been some time in Engâ€" land, but it is thought he left Liverâ€" pool for New York last Funday. The information on which the warrants wcse issued says that Wm.
