Did you at that time know or believe that Captain San 161 was agent to Mrs. Clarke? 1 A. Na. I never did Until I heard it from Mrs. Clarke. Q. At the time that Mrs. Clarke threatened to expose the Duke, did she apply to )01r to be instrumental in any manner in her projects ? A She Ms and, I • i am afraid, 'I should implicate many persons if I were to state all those who were-associated with her in this • business.—Q. What did she say to. you to Induce yoa to participate in 'her projects of revenge ? A. She told me .that unlesi his Royal Highness came to the I terms that she had stated, he would be ousted from his command, and then he would repair to Oatlands 1 where soon after he would tut his throat.—Q. Do you recollect any thing further ? A. I then endeavoured to persuade her to tell me who were her associates in the plot. She answered if I ivould go with the tide, she would provide for me and my friends . handsome.; ly ; for, in that case, she would have an absolute carte blare/se, and be enabled to do morebusiness than ever she had before done. • • . , Q. (By General Lorrys.) Did she state who were ' her associates in the plot ? A. She said, that in this respect she was bound to • secrecy.—Q. Hew. then, Sir, could you implicate so many people as you a.. pressed yourself afraid of doing. when • Mrs. Clarke would not tell you who those associate* 'were ? A. I certainly coeld name one or two persons who offer ed her money for the papers in her possession.—(Loud cries, Name! name )—One of them . was Sir France Burdett.—( General laughing.)—She said that he had offered her £lOOO, for the papers -in her possession, but that she would not give them Carless than £lO,OOO. Q. Who were the others? A. I donot wislito mention . The CHAIRMAN informed the witness that he must answer the question. . The witness, after a considerable appearance of he. sitation, said, Captain Dodd. Q. You have stated that if yen were to mention all the associates in that plot, you would implicate a great number of persons ; how much farther do yon mean to go; can you name nobody else t A. I can go no further.; I recollect only those whom I have mentioned.—Q. Are the many you spoke of reduced to two ? A. I know - only of those two.—Q. What terms did Captain Dodd offer ? A. Ido not know that he offered any particular terms, but I understood that tie wished to get possession of them.—Q. Pray what particular situation does Captain Dodd hold ? 1 A. / really cannot tell.Q. Do you know of leis holding any official situation ? A. I believe be holds an official situation under the Duke of Kent; but I do not know what situation.—Q. Do you know any other's connected in this plot ? A. No, only by the report of Mrs. Clarke, which I do not believe. , The witness then looked at some enetnorandume - which he held in his hand. This was objected to as improper, and the witness was ordered to withdraw. Mr. S. BOURNE thought, that irregularity had gone as far in the course of their preeeedinga as could be permitted. Much the greater part of the quits ticins and answers which were on the minute* of she proceedings, were merely about general hearsay-and .- • surmise, and would not be listened to as evidence in any court of justice in the kingdom. He had wit nessed a great deal of this irregularity, without wish ing to stop the course of the examination; -but he thought it had gone quite too far. What Mrs. Clarke i said to Mr. Donovan, or what Mr. Donovan said to I Mrs. Clarke, could be no sort of evidence against the Duke of York, and could not be admitted as evidence . at all, unless to impeach the credit of one of these witnesses. He, therefore, thought the committee would do well to confine themselves to such kind of evidence as would bz admitted in a cow t of law. - Lord TEMPLE thought the irregularity had gone much too far, especially when it was recollected th a at the bq;inning the witnesses were told they were to answer nothing from opinion or surmise, but merely speak of facts within their own. knowledge. Mt. WINDHAM - thought, that although 'they had gpt too much into irregularity, -yet it was oo . proper that they should confine themselves within th: strict rules of the courts of law. . After a short discussion, it appeared to be the sense of the Committee that the witnesses in future .ihossid not speak as to hearsay or surmise,. but only speak, of facts that came within their own knowledge. Captain Hur.taix SANDIE/ was then called set a Witness ; but the CHANCELLOR Of the Exclaima ree commended to *Colonel Wardle, -that Mrs Clarke should be • first examined, that she might not corn. plain, as she did the other night, of being too much exhausted to bear an examination. Colcinel•Warife, however, said he should prefer beginning4ith tip tain Sanden, to whom he should put a very few ques tions, which would not octasion much dekty. - Examination af Calitain SANDaN 4 Mr. WARDLE. Q. Do yoU know Major Tonyn t A. Yes, I do-- Q. What do you know of his transaction t . A. Mrs. Clarke asked me whether I. had any military friends who wanted promotion. I had none at that time, but I met Mr. Donovan the next day, and be told use that he had a friend, a Captain Tonyn, who wa4ted a Majority, and•would give $O9 guineas toget it. : I tad this to Mrs. Clarke, and she, - bid me. by oilloons close with him. I told this to Mr. DOMOVItD; and a memorandiim was obtained frcim Mr. Giltutt, in the Strand, to pay 500 ' guineas. as Mon as . Captain Tonyn wasgizetted a Major. Capin Tonyn waited oboist two Months, or ten weeks, and not finding himself gasetted,. grew impadent, and: told Mr. Do novan that..he must get his security back again, ashe did not see any likelihood of immediate promotio4 in that-channel; but his f.;ther, General Tonyn, had ap. plied for him, and he had been promised a Majenity on the first oppottunity., When thiswas mentioned whirs. , Clarke,she said he Was a shabby fellow, and very mock i inhaste, but if be Would trait a short time, it wot 4 be done.
