Sir Frederick Martin Williams, 2nd Baronet DL (25 January 1830 – 3 September 1878) was a politician in the United Kingdom.
[4] An Order of the High Court of Justice required the lease of the Prince of Wales Quarry at Trewarner Down in the Manor of Tintagel, which was owned by the deceased, to be sold at auction on 30 August 1880.
[6] Sir Frederick Williams was a major shareholder of the Cornish Bank with a one-third share.
The bank issued a circular on 27 December 1878 in an attempt to dispel the rumours claiming they were making arrangements to replace Sir Frederick's share of the capital.
One rumour was that Sir Frederick was overdrawn on his account by £80,000 and consequently, the creditors became alarmed and there was a run on the Bank on Wednesday, 1 January.
