drafts to the bank, and who, when he brought back
the money to his Royal Highness, uniformly waited
till his - Royal Highness made it up in packages, or
under covers, to be sent by the same servant to Mrs.
Clarke's house. With respect to the other sums paid
by his Royal Highness on account of that establish-
ment, they could easilybe ascertained from the books
of the various tradesmen, and other persons who sup.-
plied the furniture,..jewels, plate; that had already
beenso often mentioned in. that House, and wine.
The whole sum paid front January IC* to June
1806 wits £16,761. .If the Committee had a wish
to go into the question. he was prepared to bring evi-
dence to the bar to prove the statement-7(4 cry of ,
No, mg !) So far he was authorized to state, and he
trusted that it would be a satisfactory answer to the
question put to him by an Honourable Member on a
former night, and remove any unfavourable impres-
sion that might have arisen from the supposition that
only £lOOO a year was allowed, as stated by the wit-
ness tit the bar, for the support of the establishment at
Gloucester-place.
Mr. CRIPPS returned thanks to the Right Hon.
Gentleman for the attention which he had paid to
the question put by him on a former night. Every
Gentleman must be convinced, that whatever might
be the result of this investigation, it was desirable to
obviate, if possible, at the outset, the effect of the im-
pression, which might be made 6y an erroneous re-
presentation of the state of the case. First impres-
sions were generally strongest, and it was with a
view to prevent the effect of an erroneous impres-
sion, that he had put the question he did on a for-
mer night. The answer of the Right Honourable
Gentleman was as specific as it well could be. As he
was upon his legs, he should observe, that however
this inquiry might terminute, the Duke of York would
have one consola ion arising on it-; because, without
the opportunity afforded by it, the unparalleled re-
gularity with which the business of the army was
conducted at the Horse Guards, as detailed in the
evidence of Colonel Gordon, would not, have been
given to the public.
Mr. CREEVEY wished to know whether the sum
of £3570 was over and above her allowance of £lOOO
a-year, which the puke of York agreed to pay Mrs.
Clarke.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
replied, that that sum included all the sums paid by
I drafts upon his Royal Highness's banker for Mrs.
"Clarke's establishment. As to the other sums which
had been pied on the same account, as no memoranda
respecting them were to be found, they, of course,
were not comprehended in the sum stated ; but he
apprehended, that the £lOO6 a year must be included:
Mr. BERESFORD observed, that this was one
of the most serious inquiries-that had ever been car-
I
ried on before Parliament, or the public. I
t was not
lonly the impression it made on that-House, but on
' the City. and• the country in general, that was to be

I they would shut the eyes of. the nation. It was com-
petent to any Member of the Committee to state
what he heard in every part of the town upon the
subject, from personsuf strong sense.and sound judg-,

stated, that it appeared to him
to admit the letter upon their minutes. If
do that, Miss Taylor would have a simi-
) have the letter she addressed to an Hon.
'aced equally on the minutes.
NI I'LL thought the two cases, as bearing
o each other, ought to be separated and
at their own grounds. The fact was, that
idcuce that Major Tucker's name was on
by Mrs. Clarke to the Duke of York, and
iy as Major Tucker was no more, his bro-
re,:cuc his memory from the aspersion.
therefore, ought to be placed on the mi-

10001. a-year, but fro the witness at the Bar. He
never knew any thing of it from his Royal ifghness.
....What he had stated, he had taken from a paper
which he had in his hand, and which was an account
of drafts paid to Messrs. Armer, Lucas, and Co. for
the establishment in Gloucester-place, from January,
1804, to June 1806.
Lord HENRY PETTY rose to order. He had
understood it to be the rule of the Committee, that
each witness should answer only to facts within his
own knowledge, from which rule the statement of
the Right Honourable Gentleman was a departure.
The CHANCELLOR ref the EXCHEQUER
replied, that he had only answered to a question put ;
and however irregular that question might be, an
objection to-- it would come with propriety from any
other quarter.
Mr. WHITBREAD admitted, that the Right
Honourable Gentleman was not to blame, but insis-
ted, that it was impossible to place his statement
upon the minutes.
Mr. FULLER insisted that the statement must
be placed somewhere or other. An Honourable
Member had put a question, whether no more titan
10001. had been allowed f(a- the establi%rnent in Glou-
cester-place, leaving it to be inferred, that the rest was
to be supplied by sinister means. When the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, or any common Member like
himself, came forward with a statement to do away
such an impression, it ought to be placed upon the
minutes, and no honest matt could object to it. (Loud
cries of Order, Order.)
Mr. CRIPPS declared that he had been misunder-
stood by the Honourable Gentleman, as he had put
the question in order to obviate any such impression
as that alluded to by the Honourable Gentleman.
Mr. FULLEit..—" Then, Sir, any answer to your
question is sufficient (Order! Order! Order!) Any an-
swer to your question—(Order! Order! Order!) Any
answer to your question is sufficient. (Louder tries of
Order! Order! Order!) Why am I out of order ? Why
am I out of order? Why not give an opportunity of
making known the answers through the same medium
as the question ?
Mr. BERESFORD stated, that his wish had been
when he rose before, to move that the statement of the
Chancellor of. the Exchequer should be placed oh the
minutes, as they were the only true representation of
their proceedings.
Lord FOLKESTONE rose to ask a question of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but was called to
order by
Mr. Secretary CANNING, who objected to any
examination of his Right Honourable Friend, becausu
he had not stood forward as a witness, but merely pro-
duced a statement in answer to a question which had
been put to Lim.
Lord FOLKESTONE had not meant to examine
the Right Hon. Gentleman, though he saw no reason
why he should not, if necessary, be examined as well
as any other Member of the Coipmittee. The Noble
Lord then put a question respecting the amount bf
some drafts, and the times at which they Were drawn,
to which the Chancellor of the Exchequer replied, in
sums of £2uo and £l5O each ; and between January,
1804, awl May, 1806.
Sir G. WARRENDEP. thought that the course
suggested by the Right Hon,Gentleman, of referring
the matter to a Select Committee, would have been
the wisest.
. Lord TEMPLE, in this protracted investigation,
deprecated any proceeding, such as the appointment
of a Select Committee, which would protract it still

more.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
explained.
Mr. FULLER. then said, after the statement of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, he would ask of the
House and of the public, whether they would wish
that more than appears in his statement should be
expended upon the baggage who has appeared at the
Bas.—( Laughing, ana loud creel of Order, Order !)
" If, I, Sir, had been allowed to proceed as I wished,
I should long since have stopped this foolish, this silly
inquiry.—(Ordr, Order, Order.)—The first six ques-
tions that were put to her at the-liar, were enough to
shew her shuffling aad prevarication."—(Loud cries
of Order, Order, Order.)
A Meta= iiiat tile impression made-by
the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
was, that the 45000 were in addition to the £IG3 z,
mentioned by the Right Honourable Gentleman.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
stated that the £js7o were included in the total sum
of E 16,761.
Sir GEORGE WARRENDER wished to know
whether £16,000 was the utmost limit of the expence
gone to by his Royal Highness on that occasion.
' Mr. Secretary CANNING stated, that when his
Right Hon. Friend mentioned that sum, it was only
to negative the statement which had been made by
the witness (Mrs. Clarke), and which had gone very
far abroad, that the Duke did not allow her more than
£3900 in three years. The object, however, of the
statement was by no means to ascertain what had
really been paid, but merely to negative an erroneous
statement which had made some imp e:,sion.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, that the only reason why he doubted whether
those papers ought to be. referred to a Committee,'
was, that it would be very hard to bring the matter
to any thing like legal proof. All the proof that there
could be of the payment of the £5570, could only be
that such sums had been paid by the Duke's bankers,
and that packets had afterwards been sent by the Duke
of York to Mrs. Clarke. Whether those packets did
or did not contain the sums stated as having been re-
ceived from the bankers, could only appear by the
asseverations of the Duke of York. As that was not
legal proof, he doubted of the propriety of leaving
the papers to a Committee.
After some desultory conversation, it wavresolved,
that the letters taken at Captain Sanden's Mans
should, when proved, be read in evidence.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
observed, that it would be better not to permit the
witness, Mrs. Clarke, who was to prove the hand-
writing, to read the contents of the letters. It oft:hi ,
happened that witnesses chose to read the letters bit-:
fore they would, acknowledge their hand-writing, and
that at least presarcd them for On examination which
was to follow. •
It appeared- to be the muse of the Committee that
the Chairman should admonish Mrs. Clarke that she'
was pot to read the letters produced ro her, but sim-

kl

ply to state, upon looking. at them, whether or lin
they were her hand-writing.
Mrs. CLAftrut was then called, and was accordingly
admonished by the Chair. Near forty letters were
then shewn to Mrs. Clarke, and she was asked whe-
ther they were her hand-writing? She barely looked
at the letters separately, and admitted without hosia
tation that they were her hand-writing. •
The letters which were taken at Mr. Sanden't
chambers, were then put in and read. The first tail
to Capt. Sanden, from Mrs. Clarke, dated Holy
street, Cavendish-square, and was to the foil:mina::
effect : Tr-
" DEA& Slit—You appear to have forgotten that there is sink;
a perion es me in the world. Pray, write to me, and let me knoll'.
Col. French's address. Forgive the trouble that is given you by
. u Yours, "M. A. CLA axe'
The second letter was dated front Bedford-row, Russel square,
and mentioned that she was there with her mother, where she
was afraid she would be obliged ta stay the whole summer. She
again asked the address of Colonel French, with whom she stated
she bad particular business.
Mr. CROAKER then stated, that the generality-
of the letters were without date, and that it was im-
possible for the Committee to settle what was the
chronological order of them.
The next letter read was, merely requesting that Captain San-'
den would call on Mrs. Clarke the next day, at Gloucester-place,
The fourth letter stated to Captain Sandell, " that she (Mrs.
Clarke) had conversed with a great many persons who were
thoroughly acquainted with that sort of business, and that she
had been tuld, and was thorough:y convinced, that the ratiney
which was pild was too little, and that the Captkins ought to
pay at least £5O more. She wished that this should be stated td
bacon and Spudding."
She next intreated Captain Sandcn to endeavour to persuade
some Members to come up and give, a vote for Mr. Pitt's motion
(on the Defence Bill). Site bid him be cautious of Mr. Corti,
whom he knew to be a story-teller.
The next appeared to relate to Colonel French's levy. She.,sta-
ted that she N% 0111 d do the business, but must have £lOOO at first.
It also stwed, that the Duke of Cambridge had then -iteaes, and
that in raisieg the men it would be better not to be very particu-
lar oboe their being Protestants. She added, " Pray when you
go upon business, put on a nice pair of boots."
elm next letter expressed a strong wish that Mr. Spedding
would call upon her. She added, " Can you get half a dozen
men that want interest, for I want money, which is the most im-
perious of all wants. I must infringe on Tommy Greenwood's
rights."
The next letter was aboul Colonel French's levy, and mention-
ed that the Duke said they must get on somewhat faster, and
send the privet number of men forward.
The neat was about Major Tonyn's business, and stated that
the Duke had neither seen the Ger eval nor his son for a long
time ; and that his Royal Highness was fearful that Captain
Tonyn would be GaztAted too soon, and wished to stop it for a
short time.
The next was from Mrs. Clarke, requesting Captain Sanden
not to come to her box at the Opera that night, as Greenwood
would be there, with both the Royal Dukes, and it might be hurt-
ful to both their intereststhat they should be seen together.
In the next, Mrs. Clarke mentioned that Tonyn could not be
Gazetted fur a mouth. She mentioned that she was to go to
Vauxhall on the next Monday, which was the only day she could.
go in the season, as the Duke of York was to be at the House of
Lords that say to vote for his (Mr. Pitt's) motion. She haJ told
his Royal Higuness that she should go to Vauxhall, and would
be glad to meet Captain Sanden there, to speak on different mat.

It !

ters of business.
Several other letters were then read, asking for different stunk
of money, a:, it appeared, on account of Colonel French's levy.
The next, besides mentioning the specified sum of 500 guineas,
requested that as to the 60 guinea harp, which he had proentwei
her, lie might send her something elegant--a hundred guinea cur.
Next followed a note.requesting him to try to get her some votes
for Mr. Pitt's motion.
The next was to the following effect : " Before 1 leave taken,
I scratch a few lines to you to put you on your guard, and at to
my name in particular, never breathe it. lam confident thatyote
have a number of enemies, and I yesterday heard your name as-
sailed with invectives froze. different quarters. The Duke wet A
lisle sulky in the evening, and woula not tell me what was the
matter. Tell Xereites that when Terlyn is gazetted, his business
shall be done. •1 he price of a IVla;artty now ought to be 700
guineas." .
There were some letters respecting Mr. Spedding, whom she
appeared anxious to have preneeed. She stated that the Duke,
having reviewed the regiment to which he belonged, was very
angry, and swore at them a good deal. He even stopped the pro-
motions of the officers for two years. Nevertheless, she requested
that Spedding would send a list of his services, that Lie rnig:.t be
promoted. In a subsequent letter, when Captain Spedding wish-
ed to be put on half-pay, she said there was serviwiy who was very
:leery, and thought tha. he had not used, her well. ,
There were ,3everal J t ter letters pressing Cap . anden to send
diffete. t sum- of money: one of which appeared to b.. on 4ceount
of Colonel i le mil s itvy. It complained that Coionel Ft end.. had
drop,.ed three guineas a man, although he had obtained (contract
te his original proposal) as high a bounty as was given in regi.
meets of the line.
The next letter, marked 42, was from the Duke of York to
j Mrs. Chess, directed to George Farquhar; it was dated from
Dover.

Mr. Cg.f.1.,21F.E.1t rose, and said, that it cl;d not ay-.
rear to the Committee that any more of the letters
had any relevancy to the question at issue. If, how-
ever, the Honourable Gentleman (Colonel Wardle)
thought otherwise, he might call for the reading of
t the other letters.
Mr. WARDLE said that he did not think they
were relevant, and therefore should not press for their
being read.
Captain HUXLEY SANDE); was brought up in the
custody of the Serjeant to be examined.
Q (By Lord FuI.KESTONE) From what motive was
it that at your first examination, you mentioned no-
thing of the note which you produced yesterday ? A.
I really cannot say, but I hope this Honourable House
will forgive my conduct last night.--Q. I must re-
peat My question. I beg to know what motive in-
duced you not to menden this note when you were
before examined ? A. I really had no motive.—de
(Shame, shame, from diffirent quarter:. )
Q. Were you not aware that this note was of ant.
terial importance to the subject then before the House?
A. I certainly was.—Q. Did you not know that you
were bound to give to the House all the material in-
formation you were possessed of ass to the subj, ct
upon which you were examinei ? A. I was not aware
of that I knew that I was to answer the particular
questions that were put to me, but I did pot kno*
that it was necessary for me to say more.--Q. Why
did you not mention this note when you. were last
under examination ? A. I really do not know how
to answer that question.a—Q. Why did you dent
any knowledge of that note, when you sir r -last un-

Mislaid.—Q. Did you not know where it was ? A p
No, not till I went to my own house. .
[Tlqe Committee seemed indignant at an answer so
cosur24 to what he gave on th.. preceding night. and
that prisoner was ordered to withdraw.]
Captain FREMANTLE thought, that if Captain
Sanden was to be examined any further, the Chairman
ought to admonish him, that the House could inflis t
still farther punishment upon him if he -et n.inued to
prevaricate.
This appeared to be. *e sense of the Committee,
