tempted to conceal himself behind the door, but his pursuer
seized him, and demanded his name, and what he entered his
room for; he made some vague answer, but did not tell his
name. The noise of the pursuit had drawn several persons to..
get her, and amongst them the waiter, ss ho immediately recol-
lected the voice of the night-walker to be that of Mr. Edwards,
who had been resident at the,tiotel for some days past.
This suggestion the Prisoner Imrhediately took advantage of;
adopted the name of Edwards, and said he had been taken ill.
which caused him to leave his room, and in attempting to 'find
his way hack in the dark, hid mistaker It, and disturbed the
gentleman who had detained him. This explanation was con-
sidered satisfactory, the Prisoner was released, and all the
parties retired to rest. In the morning, however, the watch
and snuff-box were missed, and it was recollected that Mr. Ed-
wards had left the house the day before. From several circum-
stances suspicion attached itself to Captain T---, who was
then absent, but on his return in the evening, he was taken into
custody; no person, however, could swear to the person of Cap-
tain T.--.
Captain T , in his defence, said he was- a Captain oft
half-pay, in the first regiment of Font Guards, ands in of the
late Lieutenant-General T—, He slept on the night men-
tioned, at the Surrey hotel, and did not awake from the time of
gging to bed till he was called by the waiter, bet wren eight and
nine o'clock in the morning,• He had a house in Bryanstone-
street, where he had resided upwards of seven years. The rea-
son of his being at the Surrey hotel
,was, that he had sonic taw-
business to attend at that part of the town; his servant had lea!
his name to a publication, which had been declared a libel,—
The libel inquestion was ahatid-bill'On his Royal Highness the
Duke of Sussex. •:$l. 4:1 ' •
The Captain's Agent then appea, and itatied.„;lhat he hat
known Captain T-- for upwards of SO. years; he was as
Officer in the Guards, and retired on 'half-pay, on account of his
sight being imperfect ; has 3s. lid. per day, besides which, he
has an income of 7001. a year, arising from money in the fluids.
He had always considered him to he a man of strict honour.
Sir John Pinhorn said, that when this business had first come
before him on Saturday last, he had taken a very great respoasi-
bility upon himself in permitting Captain T---- to he at
large upon his bare word; from the high character winch Cap-.
fain T-- had hitherto sustained, he was still willing to as-
sume that responsibility, upon his pledging'his word and hountsr
to appear again in a fortnight during, which time, the Magis-
trate said, he trusted such an explanationt' would take place M
would remove all suspicion of his person.
The Captain pledged his honour to appear at the time :lamed,
and was discharged.
