After seven years as a clerk in the See also:London See also:bank of See also:Marsh, See also:Sibbald & Co., of which his See also:father was one of the founders, he was taken into See also:partnership, and the whole business of the See also:firm was See also:left in his hands. In 1824 the bank suspended See also:payment. Fauntleroy was arrested on the See also:charge of appropriating See also:trust funds by See also:forging the trustees' signatures, and was committed for trial, it being freely rumoured that he had appropriated 25o,000, which he had squandered in debauchery.

He was found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. Seventeen merchants and bankers gave See also:evidence as to his See also:general integrity at the trial, and after his conviction powerful See also:influence was brought to See also:bear on his behalf, and his case was twice argued before See also:judges on points of See also:law.
