A Mi. T.an annuity broker, received a letter signed " Pere's'," desir in, him to call at Northumberland Howe, as he wished to con tract fora loan of money, by way of annuity, and to be thereat a g i v en hour. The pretended Earl Percy had his plan so well as to be actually coming out of Northumberland House was going to knock at the gate. The sham Earl pre be much displetsk.Al it being kept at home beyond the a a th i on r lud a ire t : h. eT a dto l . t ' ad mentioned in his note to Mr. F. anti ob , erved, that as the business he wished to transact ‘.l ith Mr. 'l'. was of a deli cate nature, he did not like to return so abruptly to Northum berland House, lest any suspicion should arise in the minds of the family, and proposed to retire to a coffee-house. This conver sation was under the very gates of Northumberland-house. Mr. T. and My Lord retired,. as was proposed, when his L or d s hip informed Mr. T. that his most intimate friend Colonel Beau, mont, Member with him for Northumberland . , - had lost a cause with the Bishop Of Durham, and was much in want of cash ; that wishing exceedingly to oblige him, he wanted the loan of 15,0001. but did not like to apply to his father the Duke, who had ten times the sum at his command. Mr. T. having no doubt'vvhatever but that he was in the presence of Earl Percy, 'instantl3 mentioned the terms on which he wished to lend such a sum; and after a few trifling alterations, the affair wa s adjus te d, and orders given to prepare the deeds, with a strict hunocti l ve 'from the Noble rirl, that the transaction was to be kept secret. Whether there were more interviews titan the one above stated, we are not inf9rined ; but matters were so settled, that the'Earl was to receive the money at Alnwick Castle, in Northumber. land, whither Mr. T. and some of his clients set off with the money and deeds. On their arrival at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, they were met by an accomplice or the Parrs, who informed them that his Lordship had left Aluwick-castle for llexham- Abbey, the seat of Colonel Beaumont, and that they were tq proceed immediately to the Black Bull-inn, at Hex ham, where 'the Earl would meet them. They did so, and soon after came his Lordship, and having executed the deeds, he received, nat the 15,000/... his Lordship wanted, but 18,0001. which they pre vailed on him to take. He then, as a matter of course in such money transactions, instantly discharged the Attorney's It is said that 1.1,0001. of the money, another accounts says 10,0001. has been returned, and an offer made to return 4,0001.
