tions ; and front the nninner of addrcfs, and the
lofty (life which the affirmed, the people in the
neighbourhood ofßla ckheat h and Greenwich really
believed every thing the thought proper to advance.
In May fait the tcru to a hlr. Crcaly, of Green-
ich, a MID of property, by trade a currier, whom
(he informed that her uncle, Alexander Stuart
Rain:wen, of Fateally, was dead, and begged
he would accompany her to a rcfpOtable attorney,
in Crane-count, llCCl•liteet, to arranize matters
preparatory to her takin4. pufletiion. Mr. Creafy
complied, and went with her to the Gentleman's
home in goeftion ; Mils R. in Rating the bufinefs

tory (the ufual procefs for'conveying Scotch pro-

ind a bond for scool. to be drawn on the agent
who had the fuperintendancc of thy Mate, and
who the Cid had been appointed to receive her

man of property, AO him to lend her spool.
until the lettlement of her affairs at Fafcally. Mr.
Crcafy, not having the flighteft fufpiciou of any
part of what had .been advanced being untrue, rea-
dily complied, and likewife recommended her to
all the tradefpeople in the town. Defirous of an
elegant houfe, the fixed upon a very handfome
one in the Paragon, which was in an unfinifhed
Rate : this honk the purchafed on credit ; and,
through the recommendat::.n of greafy, engaged
bricklayers, carpenters, and painters, to finiTh the
premifes in the molt expenfive Rik imaginable;
and ordered Mr. Driver, the nurferyman, to !pare
no espence of planting the fhrubberies, and
provingan-
the plealure-grOunds. While there im-
provements were going forward, Mifs Robertfon
let up three carriages, a coach, fociable, and pog-
chariot ; and While the houfe and grounds were
Attain, file, and her lifter, Mifs Sharp, (who lived
with her,) continued at Creome-hill, from whence
they made freknent escutlions to London; the
latter end of June they let off for Brighten, where
they figured away with four horfes and outriders.
The horfes they 'had on job from a gable-keeper at
Greenwich, and die carnages front different coach-
makers in London.

On their return in Auguft laR, Mifs Robertfon
went to Hatchetes, and Mired him to make her
an elegant chariot, with filver mouldings, and
railed coronets of the fame. Mr. Hatchett treated
his cullomer with much refpat, and haftened to
complete the order by the time promifed, the
Queen's Birth-day, her coufin, Mr. Secretary Dun.
das, intending on that day to introduce her at
Court. About this time the houfe was finithed,
but not furnifbed : having heard of Mr. Oakley's
warehoufe, in Bond-ftreet, the applied to him,
through the medium of a man of refpeaability, at
Blackheath, and, from the reprefentations made
to Mr. Oakley, he agreed to furnilh the houfe for
abool. Things then went on in a very flourifhing
way; the drawing-rooros were painted in water
colours by one of tthe firft aitifts in the kingdom ;
the walls in landfcape,and the cieling conipofed of
clniias, and approp ri ate de vices. l'helooking-glaffes
to the floor were in burnifled gold frames, richly
carved, with ftatuary marble nabs, and or molu
ornaments. Thefe fir mirrors came to ',tool. On
the marble cabs in the principal drawing-room
were pi: cad a pair of Egyptain candelabras, the
price of which a as 200 guineas ; the principal bed
foe I. and every other ankle equally magnideent.
During the three months that the fiirnilbing of
the houle was going forward, Mr. Oakley had fre-
quent conferences with his employer, Mils Robert-
fon, when the frequently mentioned that the had
great expectations from rich relations in India, and
was ct.ntinually receiving prefents of great value.

it he bad any doubts of his having his money

apply to her filler, Lady Paget, or to her count),
the tlaop of London. 11 you any fur-
doubtc (add.:d Robertfon), api I!. to Sir
Richard who has known me from my in-
fancy. Sir 1....hval d Law (th,e prcfent Attorney-
General fp-1k to my rcfpatibility." From
thefc bald aifertions Mi. Oakley proceeded with
the order, but l'elsen nearly con:pleated he judged
it proper to wait upon the liiihr,p of London and
Sir Richard Hili ; both dime Gentlemen laid they
had no farther knowledTe of a Mils Robinfon than
Sy a card, which a perion of that name had been
in the habit of leaving at the henries of perfons el

Upon this difcovery, in Fehroar? laft, M.

own men, and frver.d carts, went down to Iliad.-
heath, and laid in wait till nine o'clocl: (being in-
formed that Mils Robertfon diucJ Gut), whtu the
carriage came home, but no Mi.'s Rob:rtfon.
From this circumstance it appeared that 111.: lead
