his brother, Gen. Grey, and the Hon. Mr. Grey, the Earl's son,
Mr. Phillips, M.P., Mr. Ker, M.P., &c.
Mr. Cripps, wire-worker, residing at Piccadilly, stated that'
in 1821 Hawkins called upon him, and purchased fire-guards,
fenders, bird. cages, which were delivered at No. 6, Craven-
place, Bayswater. When Mr. Cripps called the next morning
for his money, he found that Hawkins had made his escape,
taking with him every article of furniture, &c.
The Rev. Mr. Edgill, residing at Wandsworth, and who
keeps an academy there for young Gentlemen, stated that Haw-
kins, about four years ago placed his son Henry at his school,
and represented himself as a gentleman of fortune ; but after tak-
ing great pains with the education of the lad; and incurring an
expense for him in clothes, &c. to the amount of 1001., the lad
went away, and Mr. Edgill, from that day to this, saw nothing
of Hawkins, or received a farthing-.
The Rev. Mr. Greenwood, who also keeps an academy at
Christ's Hospital, said that a person, who from the descriptiorft
the papers, was this Mr. Hawkins, but who called himself Mr.
Hawkins Browne came to him with a subscription book, col-
lecting a sum, as he said, to establish an unfortunate, but re-
spectable man, named Jephson, in business; he represented)
himself as a man of fortune, and said that persons should be on
their guard against paying subscriptions of this nature to any
persons going about collecting, who were not respectable. Mr-
Greenwood paid him a subscription of 2/.
Mr. James Clark, butcher, in Little Chelsea, stated that"
Jephson got into his debt 201. for meat, &c.- and in payment
gave him a bill of Hawkins, but soon after disappeared, and 04
never got a farthing.
Mr. Hill, jeweller, Chcapside, stated that iri 1t122, Hawkins,
and a very dashing locking Lady, called several times at his
in their curricle draws, by two ponies, and purchased some
titling articles, they gave their address Vine Cottage, Ful-
ham ; they at length got considerably into Mr. Hill's debt
m
for jewellery, and various other articles, when Mr. Hill be
gan to suspect his customers, from . having seen Mr. Haw-
kins come out of a pawnbroker's shop; he made inquiry after
the at Fulham, but found they had vanished from the Cottage-
Mr. Kerr, M.P. stated that Hawkins waited upon him, and
stated himself to be a gentleman of considerable
.ation of land-
property ; but
