opus him with referral' to Mr. Canningham'e commission.
He said be would tend down to Armaron r sad Co. for or of
the gentlemen to come and moo me. I said I could not May
Ire then, bet that I was stopping at the gloried, Rotel,
Corkooreer, and he could tell Mr. Armstrong to call upon
me there, When 1 gut to the hotel 1 found a card had been
left for me. Subsequently a person call sag himself Arm-
strong was Introduced to me. I believe that person was
Eicke. He in sittiog in mkt. Re produced the Fetter which
I bad Rent to Marshall, the form of 'bolo:stir to the
Duke of Combriiige. Hicks told me it wee informal. He
surgeeted I should re-write it. I wrote a rough copy of
sieoher. Ekke made some emigrations to me with
retort to it. He suggested to me to obtain certifi-
cates with raper to Mr. Cunningham'. birth. On
Hicks's leaving I said, "The meaty is all right in
White's bank.-- He Reid, "Then will von call at the
beak and give orders about its payment ?" He desired me
to get the money transferred to Meter.. Armstrong and Co.
r aeon se Mr. Cunningham was tainted to a commission.
I sfterwords did go down to White's. The money had her
paid into White's at the time, a sum of 40W. I dimmed what
weer be der with refonimis to the money (a paper contain-
be thadkeetions in the handwritieg of the witness was here
pat in). I left town on the 10th of July. On the 15tn
nerved a letter from Armstrong and Co. (This letter was
from the defendant Bier. repeameging Armstrong and Co.,
and announced that Mr. Cunningham' mu to go up for aunt-
nation, hut that the commission was to be by percher.) In
oonesquenos of that I wrote to Marshall and received from
him • letter dated the 16°h of July, rating that there muss
be sons mistake in the letter of the 14th, foe that the Duke
of Cambridge had said the commission was to be given
without purchase. I took no notice of the letter,
for I koi already paid In the money. On the 20th
of July I received another letter from Armstong
and Company, in Captain Mortimer's hand-writing.
My bother-in-law having been gemettad, I remelted • letter
from Pugh, dated the 29th of September. I afterwards re-
caved • letter from Mr. Dolmen, Marshall's attorney. I
gave in all the letters I receive to the Horsebnard., I
heard no more of the matter until Prettily hat, when Ude

Crow-examined by Mr. Chamber—My nephew had not
mode any communications to ea, wows with regard to
obtaining a commission. I understood Pugh was acting for
Armstrong and Co. Mr. Edwards, of Hanover-
street, is my tailor, and it was he who told me there
were certain army agents who professed to rates
troops, and that Introduced them to the Horse-guards. Our
waves/anon resulted In his itenling Pugh to me. Pugh
law me ours or twice, and then he wrote to mu as be was
obliged to go out of town, and meld that hie
brother•in-law (Kr. Marshall) would then take up
the hosiers. It was that which led me to
write to ,M•rshall. The first time I saw him Marshall
said be should like to supply Mr, Cunningham's outfit,
I don't think I saw Pugh afterwards. It is possible I may
have seen him afterwards at Mershalre. I have some slight
remileotion Pugh solicitt7 ma to give the outfit to Marshall.
Armstrong and Co., carried on booms in Atwell court.
Mr. Rieke then called upon me. I masonic at any of te of
Aloneness and Co. I have only even C•p'ain Mortimer

toll him everything. Mr. Cunningham la still la
the army. I cannot say it was suggested to me at the
Harm Guards to institute an indictment against Armstrong
and Co. for obtaining matey under false pretenoes, and that
thereby I could get my money back. I believe I toll Sir C.
York that Mr. Marehall had nothing to do with the office ex-
cept laming readied a prom's/ of the outfit.

aware that a dinner puny at the palace of Dolma ffsgtclie is
not honoured by the pretence of the hut. For the Mullahs
