Q. Were they written during the investigation in

Q. If they were piestions, do you think they
would be applied to the witnesses ? —A. They are
suggestions before the inquiry began. I presume.

Mr. asaitow—" My Lord, I was of the same

Major Dodd, re-examined by Mr. BoLLAN b.
Stated, that when the chairs were brought to
Westbourne-place, one day when he was there, the
servant entered the room, and informed Mrs.
Clarke, that Mr. Wright was below with some mote
red-morocco chairs ; upon which Mrs. C. bid the
servant tell him to take son of them back
observing, that he (Wright) did not care to what
expense ha put her. This was after the Ist of De-
cember.

ATTORNZT.GEK RRAIQ. Did Illingworth give
you Wright's receipt for the 5001 ?—A. Ycs, and
I afterwards gore it to Mr. Wardle.
The receipt was pro.luced, and read, as follows
" January 0, 1509. Received of Mr. J. T. flbovroett, a
bill of acceptance, at three months' date, fur five bnedred
pounds, which, when mud, will be on account of funnture
sent tato No. s, Westbourne•pleee.
(taped) 11 F. WRIGHT."
Mr. Illiorreith delivered this to Major Dodd
after he had paid his 2501. acceptance, and Major
Dodd, a short time after, a few days previous to
the former trial, gave it to Mr. Wardle.
The next witness called for the prosecution was
Major Glennie, who, on his examination by 51r.
Aeolus, stated in effect as follows:
" I aim not in the army, bat was once in the ar-
tillery and engineers; I know Mrs. Clarke; she
applied to me, shoat the 16th of December, to
get Mr. Wardle to become answerable himself, or
procure a friend to be answerable for her, for 5001.
which she had owed Wright, for upwards of two
years. I told her I could not think of making such
an application to 'Wardle, knowing his fixed deter-
mination not to come under any engagement for her
debts to Wright, or to any other person. I also told
her, if she could point out any means by which she
could repay the money in three months, I would
speak to Mr. Wardle ow the subject. She told me
there would be a rule of the Nose of a house, and'
of some furniture belonging to her, in Bedford-
place, which would more than pay that slim. She 1
also mentioned that she would, in le.s then three
months, receive a greater sum from the publics.

any acconiniortnion. I afterwards went to ‘f'right's,
iu consequence of a note from Mr. Wardle-1
shelved hi.o the note, and expressly told hien, that
Mr. ‘Verille was determined not to be security ; ever,
if he was inclined to be so, I informed him, that he
could not do it, without, in some mestere, defeating
the beneficial object she had in view. Wright
said, the debt was of two years standing, and he
had been promised payment of it in another quar-
ter—after looking to that quarter in yam, lie
was now compelled to look to Mrs. Clarke. I
mentioned to him my surprise at his trusting
Mrs. Clarke with a large fresh bill; and he said,
ie reply, that it was the only chance he had to re-
ceive what she already owed hint. I alto remarked,
that the furniture was too dear and expensive ; to
which he observed, that Mrs. Clarke was • rhishing,
gay lady, and liked it in style. On me making a
similar remark afterward, to Mrs. C. viz i—that it
would be mute for her comfort to pay lea debts,
and have a smaller house, and less expensive furni-
time, she seemed angry with tne for my interfe-
penes.. .1 told her it Wild the opinion of others, mid
of Cal. Wardle, es well as myself. She said, she
thought the house very small and asked ‘, what is
it to Col. Wardle, what house or furniture I have,
bets not to pay for either 1"
On cross-eximination by the ATTORNEY-GENE..
ILL, Mr. Olennie gave a detailed arraign of the
trip to the Mertello Towers,aed its causes, as stated
by Mr. Alley in his opening. Colonel Wardle told
Lim that Mrs. Clarke would furnish hint with oh-
servatious, which he would rather have (as he Glen-
nie supposed) in the presence of his two frieuda,
than all alone. He had no particular wish himself
to step forward to stop corruption. He wished to
see it stopped in every deportment of the State,
and knew that this was Colonel Wardle's object.
He did not go with a preconceived hostile opinion
against the utility of the Martello Toward to criticise
and tied fault with them, but merely to satisfy his
mind as to the use of their erection. Ile had
not seen Mrs. Clarke recently. but had seen her
frequently after this excursion. He took notes of
what she mid, not about the Martello Towers—they
were merely memoranda of things she told them
the Duke of York bed communicated to her about
his own family. He did not record them ; he re-
gistered them, that he might not forget them.—
They did not Mg uire into these things ; they were
. what she told them spontaneously.
Q. You did not omit a single anecdote, which
could be offensive to the feelings of the Royal Fa-,
tidy ?—A. I took notes of all she told us—of the
creation of Barons, Lod of Peers—of the appoint-
ments of Generals to districts, and of matters in his
own family. I had certainly a right to exercise my
.own curiosity.
The Arroattlf-Ge k Go• away. We
have the. paper, here. They are a disgrace to man."
Mr. Illiagtvorth called, sued exa:nined by Mr.
ALI.ET.
He is a wine.merchant.and resides hi Pall-Mall ;
has known Dodd ten or ele.ven years; never saw
Col. Wardle but once, before he came to him with
Dodd, about the latter end of December. They
• conic together to get hint to lend his bill to Mrs.
Clarke for 3001. No owatrity was named, but they
said they would guarantee the money being paid.
No secrecy. was if-messed on him. In consequence
or this ma, he called on Mrs. Clarke the same
day, told her he came by desire of his friend
Major Dodd, to take her note for 5001. pre-
vious to his granting his bill for that sum, at
three months, to Wright. She said she did
sot know the forut of a note, but, if he would
write it on• • slip of paper, she would copy it.
lie did so, mid she gave him the note on a stamp
he had carried with him for the purpose. Ile re-
collected no further conversation at this time. He
gave his bill to Wright, and took the security of..
Wardle and Dodd, payable a short time before it
was due ; he drew upon each of them for 2501. iffe
had no other converwition with Mrs. Clarke, sad
did not believe Colonel Wardle's name was mew.
timed on the occasion.
Crass-examined by the ATTORNIY-GENUAL.
Q. pid hlr. Wright give you a receipt when yew
paid the bill for sonl. ?—A. He did ; and I after-
wards handed it to Major Dodd.
Q. When the affidavit on the late trial was
brought to you to swear, did you strike out any pat"
of it ?—A. I did.
Q. A great part ?—A. No, not a great part .;
several leassagee.
Q. 11-ere you not surprised, efterwerds, to fluid
your affidavit in the newspapers, with all those pate
sages retained which you had expunged ?—Af I
did not see the paper, but was surprised on being
told of the circumstance.

By a JVIUIR.
Q.. What became of Mrs. Clarke's note?—A. I
gore it to Major Dodd.
Simon Ball coiled and examined by Mr. Game.
Stated, that he was a House-Agent, cud that
Wright applied to him for a house for • Mrs. Fare
guitar, which she wanted for a month or longer.--o,
Wiight stated that he was going to furnish • house
for her, hut did net say who she was, nor did be
ask questions. Mrs. Clarke, as he afterwards no-
derstood, visited him under the name of Farquhar.
Wright and Captain Thompson caine together, and
paid his month's rent. Wright said he was come t•
pay the rent, and that the stranger was Captain
Thompson, • relation of Mrs. Clarke. Ile dale
net know which of the two gave him the money.
He believe" the Sneriff's Officers took Mrs. Clarke_
from his hodse.
Cross examined.
He recollected that there was a dispute above
the stamp on which the receipt for the rent was
given, but not that he mid As there is a witness
present it is of no consequence;" and that the
witness signed it.
The ArrourdEr-Ggferamr., handing in the re-
ceipt—" See how h you are mistaken ; it was
not Captain 'Thompson, but mother person, that
was introduced, and here is his signitare to the re-
ceipt. Go away, Mr. Bull, you have forgotten
every thing about afe matter."
. Mr, Bull said, he had not forgotten, but recol-
lected all about it. He was positive the person was
introduced as Capt. Thompson. •
Sarah Muinford examined.—She byes with Mr.
and Mrs. Ball, and recollects the house being taken '



In the name of Farquhar. She went over it itoiih
Mrs. Clarke arid Mr. Wright. Wright sail he was
hooking out for ti house to furnish, but that Mrs.
C. wanted one at present for a rounth or more. Dr.l
riot say who wes to furnish it.
Joseph Curt sworn, and examined, stated, that he
keeps a collee-house, in Coventry-street, and recol-
lects an application being made to him, in October
18U3, to take a hou.ie belonging to him, at Weet-
bourne-pince, for a person of the name's( Forsythia.
has since heard that this person is Mrs. Clarke.
lie agreed to let the house to her, provided she gave
a proper reference, which she did, to Mr. Wright,
in Rathhone-1 lace. On calling on Wright, lie re-
quested him to be candid, as one tradesman would
be to another. and tell him fairly how the lady was
situated. Wright assured him, that Mrs. Fargs•.
her was very respectable; that he had received
several thousands of her money, and if he
had fifty houses, to let she should have her
choice of them all ; he believed she had been mar.
vied, but did not know if her husband was alive or
not; he had afterwards a conversation with Mrs.
Clarke, in Bedford-place, and made some remarks
as to the furniture there answering the house in
Westbuttroc-place, as they were nearly of the same
size. Tu these Mrs. C. answered, that this furni-
ture was too old-fashioned, and she would only
take the beds, and some ether articles, to her new
abode. He met Wright in November, as he was
coining from Westbourne-place, when Wright told
him he was going to measure far carpets and fen-
ders. After some dispute about her fixtures,
Wright paid him 1061. for them on Mrs. Clarke'a
account, by a check on his Yonkers.

William Hardy called.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, he was ready to
admit. that Wright had paid for work done on the
house at Westbourne-place ; but the Counsel nn the
opposite side choose to give it in evidence. Wm.
Hardy was therefore examined, hut failed to sub-
stantiate the proposition. He was a carpenter, and
had been employed at the house in Westhourne,
place, from 19th November. 1800. Except (in the
Snit iindance) when he was ordered to the job, by a
person he did not know, lie had always received his
orders from Mrs. Clarke's housekeeper, and had
invariably been paid by her.
Mr. Gillebrand, clerk to Mr. Ellis, was next
sworn ; but the ArroaNtir-Gssteriat, prevented
his examination, by admitting that, in the case
Allan e. Clarke, Mrs. Clarke had pleaded her
covertiire, and that, in this action, Wright had'
been her hail. He else admitted the policy of in-
surance to he made in the name of Farquhar, and
about 10001. in the name of Clarke. It was dated
31st March. and contains a notice, that, if the
goods are not insured in the name of the owner, the •
policy is vend.
Lord Et.tEsariaouGit" Nothing can he drawn
from this, but that they have foolishly made a fool-
ish insurance."
The lasi witness called on the part of the pi ovc-
cution was Sir Richard Phillips. who, being sworn
and examined by Mr. GLeiDE, stated, that he was a
bookseller in Bridge-street, Blackfriars ; he had
hid conversations with Mrs. Clarke respecting the
book she was about to publish. Ha had also con-
vened with her about her debts, particularly once
at Westbourne-place. At that time. she stated
her obligation to pay Wright 60001. mentioning this
stun generally as what she had to pay him for fur-
niture scut iuto Wwnl.ourile-place. This. conver-
sation took place about the 11th or 12th of March.

Cross-esemined by the ATTORII IT-GS It las L.
Q. I take it tor granted there was no one present
at this conversation .—A. Mr. Sullivan was present
et the first.
Q. You► memory, Sir Richard, is not of the best :
did you make a niemoianduin on the occasion ?
A. I consider this as a very improper question.
Lord Etriasinoaoutiti—'‘ It is simply as to the
nature of memory."
Q. Sir Richard, I asked the question, because I
have examined you as a witness before, you know?
--A. You never could impeach my testimony.
Q. What was your next conversation with. Mrs.
Clarke, and when I—A. I informed her of the de-
cision of the House on 31it March. at Westbourne-
' place, when she repeated the same circumstances
in a more enlarged manlier.
Q. Was there any one present on this occasion ?
—A. None but myself.
Q. What did she say ?—A. She said she must
make the most of her book to pay for the furniture.
It was then proposed to call Lord Folkstoue,
but the Counsel for the prosecution, on consulting,
thought it unnecessary to proceed any further in
the examination of witnesses, and here closed their
case.

The ATTORNEY•GENZBAL then rose for the de-
fence, and said :—" My Lords and Gentlemen, the
complexion, the colour of this prosecution, is to
be collected, not only from the tumult which has
raged outside, and which we have all heard, but
also from the mode in which the Learned Gentle-
man has been instructed to open this case. It is
now the prevailing fashion, when a man is in dis-
tress, to take up the independent line, and turn
patriot ; to commence his career by a tilt against
corruption, and bawl for reform, while he abuses
every thing and person that is exalted above himself.
Mr. Wardle, at his last shift, after trying every ex-
pedient undertake which he thoeghtcould avail him
any thing, has now instructed his Counsel to say that
his witnesses have been dismissed from their situa-
tions (by Government as was to be supposed) be-
cause they had fairly and honestly supported hitn and
the cause of rectitude. This insinuation, particu-
larly in the case of Dodd, did at first rouse my in-
dignation ; now it only excites my disgust and
contempt. For, Gentlemen. I know the cause
of that parson'. dismissal, on which I myself have
been consulted months, nay years, before ever this
business, this political project of Colonel Wardle
was thought upon. A clue to the nature of this
case may, however, be discovered in the evidence of
Mrs. Clarke, who states to the world, in open
Court, that after Colonel Wardle had tried every
means to get her to compromise matters, and con-
sent to a reference to arbitrators, at last eudeavoure
to frighten her into his views by threats. He tells
her, through the mediums of Corfield, his attorney,
that if the matter is carried into Court, Mr. Ser-
jeant Beat will cut her up; that it would he• her
min, and that he (\lr. Wardle) would give it
out that the whole was a trick of Ministers.—
If this assertton, or rasher evidence, you fillies Mr.


•
Wardle had his ream*: he might hive caned hid
Attorney, Corfield, t 6 contradict it.—What is
there then at the bottom of this action ? There is
nothing of troth—nothing of honour—nothing of
integrity—uothiog but wickedness. It is unnecessary
fur the advocates for Defendants "on a criminal case
to call on the Jury to give it their most rerions con- I
sideratiou mud attention. They would do ao. unasked,
at all times • but, lts a case like this, where I
an twinned and unheard of mode of proceed- 1
ing has been adopted, for the purpose of 'national-re-
ing my chents out of their witnesses, I am sure you
will favour rue with a double portion of your regard.
Here we have an indictment preferred against three
persona, for conspiracy, instead of an action against
two of them IMrs. Clarke, add Daniel Wright) for
perjury, and against thethird (Francis Wright) for
subornation.—l defy, Gentleman, the oldest and
moot learned at the Bar, to state an instance of such
a mode of proceeding, which I may therefore fairty
call unusual, unheard of, and iofacuotes. It has been
selected by one Wl* is not anxious for justice. But
is there any evidence of conspiracy or confedera-
tion ? No ! It is attempted to be proved that
Francis Wright had suborned the witnesses on the.
former trial to perjure themselves. The f'rosecutor,
if he believed this, ought to hare prosecuted the
two for perjury, and the other for subornation,
for his only act of conspiracy roust have been that
crime. If this had been done, the course of justice
would not have been perverted, and the mouth of
every witness(even the wife of enrol the present Dee
fetid:Ants, F. Wright) shut up, who could have been
called to defend my clients in a pmper prose-
cution, while it was attempted to establish a cause
by the testimouy of worthy friends, all on one
side, and the evidence of the Prosecutor himself.
Still, however, I do not decline the unequal con.
teat ; I will undertake to sinew, muter all those dis-
couraging cuciunstances, that the verdict was
right. In order to this end let us consider aho the
parties are. In the first place there is Mrs. Clarke;
she tells us, that, as late as 1808, she was in owl-
knee, capable of supporting the expenses which she
was eo well inclined to embark in. In that state,
Mr. Wright did give her credit for 2,6001. ; 20001.
was paid, arid 6001. of course still remained. After
this period, a reverse took 'dace in the affairs of
Mrs. Clarke, she was no longer in that state of af-
fluence, nor had she any means of paying the debt;
this was the period in which Colonel Wardle be-
came acquainted with her. He would hive you
believe, that Wright. the upholsters r, entrusted her
with the sum of 20001. for the purpose of inducing
her to pay the 5001. which she already owed him ;
this is to imagine Wright a greater fool than society
will possibly furnish. Mrs. Clarke was a beggar,
and lie • creditor not paid; and such is the expe-
dient upon which he is supposed to light fur the
purpone of insuring payment. Bust who are the
other parties?—There is, first, Mr. Wardle, who
was at this time occupied with the most ambitious
designs. Ile hoped to acquire a great reputation,
by the inquiry into the conduct of the Duke of
York. This war the object upon which his whole
soul was occupied, and, as the means of carrying
this object into execution, lie resorted to Mrs. Clam ke.
I should mentius it as a curious and necessary fact,
that Colonel Wardle did not think it expedient to
disclosethe circumstance of his giving Mrs. Clarke
1001. in flint first three days of his acquaintance with
her, during the whole course of the investigation in
the House of Commons; if he had, I will venture to
say, in the presence of minty honourable men who
were:Ages on that eccasiow, that both he sad she
would have departed with very different treatment
from that which they experienced. Mr. Wardle
bad every thing at stake, honour, popularity, all
that he considered dear to him, and all those must
have been sacrificed and lost,without the assistanee
of Mrs. Clarke, and her assistance must have been
a hopelees and vain speculation,. without the as-
surances which she swore, and swore truly, that
Mr. Wardle had made-her. None of you, I believe,
will think that Mrs. Clarke is a foolish woman :
why then should you suppose that she wou'r. dive
Mr. Wardle the assistance he required, without ex-
acting from him those means which her situation
rendered so necessary ? Besides, you will remember
her threat, at a tune when she was endeavouring to
bring those with whom she was formerly connected
to terms ; she threatened, that if they did not
come into what she proposed, her new friends
would do more for her. Thus, Mr. Wardle was up
to his very chin in this business—he was so far com-
mitted, that nothing could be neglected which
might bring him through ; and Mrs. Clarke being
the person upon whom, in fact, his fate depended.
he must have cot into her terms, whatever they
might be. Next, how does Major Dodd come for-
ward ? He stands in the situation of a private confi-
dential Secretary to one of His Majesty's sons ;
knowing that an inquiry was on font, implicating,
in a criminal manner, the conduct of the Duke of
York, and yet leaguing himself with those who
were conducting it, he was embarked with Mr.
Wardle and Mr. Gleunit ; and they were all of them
certain of being ruined, if they did not succeed.
What other thao an interested feeling could in-
duce him. to,contLine with those who were endea-
vouring to pull one Royal Brother from his seat,
and then go fawning upon another, who, he knew,
so far from authorising, regretted the circumstance?
I sin not willing to make charges against any man,
but when such occasions call for them, it is my duty
not **shrink. The next witness is Mr. Glennie,whu
is no less interested than the former. Major Dodd
told you already that he did not care for public feel-
ing; yet he went off with an eulogium upon morality,
public spirit, and virtue. Mr. (Aerinie ton represents
to you thut his journey to the Mertelto Towers was
mere accident ; but look to him on this accidental
journey, and you will find him committing to writhing,
with the most anxious care, whatever. in week
and foolish moments, was divulged to a person
undeserving of confidence. I could scarcely thiek It
possible for a man to descend so low ; nor do I believe
it would have bees acknowledged if I had not the affidavits Isere
to render prevaricating dangerous. The sitcoms really is,
whether Mr. Wardle %as made an sodertuking to pay Mr.
Wright for the furniture, or whether it was gives apse the
credit of aka Mire herself! You see that he could not
go es 'Olivet her ; and yea are to decide sport the probs.

evening he returned to his house, got a light at a

wa. heard to go to bed, .and all was iniaginetl well.
Friday morning, not attending his work, it was
imagined lie had gone to Wells for his wife. Si..
turiley arrived—the Jame inquiries and the same
ideas entertained. However, in the evening, a fel-
low-workman got into the house, and there found
him lunignig by the neck—of course dead. It ap-
peared lie had stripped lainsellqiiite naked ; tied
his legi ind thighs close with.* cord, to prevent
his struggling. Ile then placed the rope iiniiii-
diately oppostte his chin, as he stood at his bed's
