time of giving his evidence. He. did vary
.from.
What he had stated now; namely, that he had not

name was never mentioned on any occasion. ,fle
(the witne,,,,) thought two months
,ago that Lodo-
wick would out sueeeed, and his reason for think-
ing this was bl-.:ause Tindall told him so. 'The
lure was assign ,d to the CoUrt of 'lnquiry at Chelsea.
Atter that, however, he thought " the ,ippointment
wooliVtak- place. He had been engaged with Mr.
Dono.,:ln in procuring a Writership to India, ,and
went to Tindall on the occasion, who assured him
it could be done. It was not proceeded 'in on ac-
cOunt of the parties being out of town, but wasre-
ncwed and in a triin •,1 being arranged a week ago,

Never was introduced .by Donoian to Mrs.' Clarke.
He had had interconise by letter with Mrs. Clarke,
preVicih4 to the Court Martial, on the subjeof
some Bill; of Exchange. During that time, he had
six oreight letters, from' Mrs. C. on the subjea at
the Court Martial, or on subjecis of little importance,
and he would not have been anxious to oblige her,
unless she had represented herself to bins as pos-
sessing influence over the Duke of York.

Sir G. Hut. rose in his place, and enlained to
the House, that meeting Mr. Maltby on Saturday,
On Ludgate-Hill, he had informed him of what had
passed the preceding evening in the' Huase, in 'con-
sequence of ,whiat Mr. M. had afterwards called
on him' 'and asked his advice how to aal. lie had

and when at'the Bar, to stale every thing he 'knew
of the subjeff inquired into; without going into

to have any communication with Mr. Wardle, as
his conduet might be misinterpreted.
