Q. What appointment do you allude to ? A. His
appointment on the Commissariat as Assistant Com-
missary.
Q. To whom did you apply for thit appointment
for Mr. Dowler ? A. To his Royal Highness the
Duke of York.
Q. From whom was it notified to you that the ap-
pointment was made ? A. His Royal Highness told
ale that he had talked to Mr. Charles Long upon it,
and that it was settled at last. Some little difference •
Lad existed in the Prince's Regiment, in consequence
of which Mr. Manby was obliged to leave the regi-
ment. His Royal Highness promised the Prince to
get something as good for Mr. Manby, and conse-
ouently that Gentleman was *to be Gazetted before
Mr. Dewier. Before this, Mr. Dowler had under-
taken to procure some votes for the Defence Bill, then
in its progress through the House. General Clavering
brought up Lord John Campbell from Scotland to
;urrort the measure, and if his brother had been in
town, he would have voted on the same side. I had
a few friends more who also *supported the bill, and
gr:e a list of seventeen to Mr. Dowler, who might
';nought over. There were seventeen in all ; but
Dowler could not get the.number, the busi-
dropped. Of the seventeen upon the list I
!-irr, several were in the Opposition. [Here the
cosivthed with laughter.] His Royal High-
,s told me that he had given the list to Mr. Charles

0. you slid that his Royal Highness told you,
of-Major Tucker, that Greenwood had him •
1,,t do you mean by the expression Greenwood had
;al A. it was his Royal Highness's expression, and
IL Mile.
Q. (13y Lord FOLICSTONE.) Were you in the habit
sliming all the applications you received to his
:oyai 1-lihness ? A. Yes, I was ; but not all the
fticalar applications,lxhen many applications were
ade to me on the same subject. If a man sent me
le application, I shelved it to his Royal Highness ;
aif I got ten more from the same person, I did
trouble him with them.
Q. If offers of money had been made to you, must
It his Royal Highness have been aware of it A.
fe was aware of every tking I did ; but I took care
!ver to be indelicate towards him on such subjects.
Q. Did you shew the letters you received to him ?

Yes.
Sir J. HALL asked the witness how she knew
;at the note alluded to in her first examination, which
As given her by Captain Knight, had been changed
• a servant of the Duke of York ? A. I believe I
Al not state positively that it was a servant of the
Juke of York, but thkt the Duke of Yerk assisted
in getting it•changed. .1 now find, that it was
.y butler, Pearce, to whom I had given the bill,
Ind who had tried in vain all over the neighbour-
iced, to get it changed. His Royal Highness then
tid, " Take it to my wine-merchant's, at Steven's
!etel, in Bond-street, and they will get it changed."
bilieve it was there that the bill was changed ; that'
butler saw the partner of Mr. Stevens, and gave
le message, but I am told that he declines giving
7-Iv sort of information about the transaction.
Thewitness was ordered to withdraw.
W.ARDLE then rose to state, that he had
scr: Mr. Pearce, who said, that since he had
testimony at the bar, he recollected per-
he had changed a large note, by the direc-
tv: ci:lx Duke of Yorke and Mrs. Clarke. The
ha l been given him at night, and was not chan-
the next morning. Upon his (Colonel War-
i!,.*s) asking him how it happened that he did not
.ct that when he was examined at the Bar of
.. Ilse, he answered, that he was subject to dread-
...d.aches, and had one at the time he was exa-
He did not then remember the wine-mer-
- ;Its in Bond-street ; but he now recollected it, and
was very ready to be examined again at the bar,
if the Committee should think proper.
Mrs. CLARKE was again called in, and examined
6r Sir T/lONIAS TURTON.

Q. In what manner did you recommend Mr. Dow-
ler to the Duke of York ? A. As a gentleman. 7—
Q. Did you ever mention him as a relation ? A. No,
:ever as a relation, but only as a friend.—Q. Did
y.:u ever mention to his Royal Highness the sum that
you were to receive from Mr. Dowler ? A. I am
not sure whether I mentioned the exact sum ; but I
stated to him that Mr. Dowler had been more liberal
to me than any other person ever was for an appoint-
ment cf that value.—Q. Did she ever hear Mr. Dow-
ler Ely that he was acquainted with Sir Brook Wat-
tTn, who could assist hini in the appointment ? She

recollect ever to have heard him say so. Q.
lie sure that he never told her, that either he or
tlitht.r wculd use interest with Sir Brook Watson
kr that purpose ? A. No, he never told me any
I.J: thing.

Examined by Mr. LOCKITART.
Q. Dld she ever receive lists of names to be pro.

from ar.y person, and from whom ? A. She
ir..ver had received so long a list as_ that which had
Len before mentioned. Sbe never had more than.
tv. o or three names on a paper at any other time.—
c Could she recollect from whom she got those lists
ei cne or two names ? A. She could not recollect.
S!-.e was surrounded by a great many persons, and
sle believed she had go: into very bad hands, or this
business would not have been made so public as it
u,:s. She had already mentioned some names ; she
}nd mentioned Captain Sandcn and Mr. Donovan,
but she understood Mr. Donovan meant to denyevery
L ing respecting him. She had, however, seen in the
with Mr. Donovan, a Lady that brought a great
ra:iny things to her recollection, and she wished that that
.I,,ady might be examined.—Q. Who is that Lady ?A.
he is an Officer's widow: she is acquaintedwith many
c fthel-e transactions, and quite in the habits of military
intrigile.—Q. Did you circulate any list of prices, at
which commissions were to he sold ? A. No ; I never
did. The business of the sale of commissions did not
belong to me.—Q. Pray what was the name of that
Lady that you saw in the lobby with Mr. Donovan ?
A. Although I have seen her frequently, I do not im-
mediately recollect her name at present ; but I shall
soon recollect it ; she is an Irish wonian.
‘ CLARKE then addressed the liOuse to the fol-
ic w!ng effect I should be glad that the House
!id ask Col. M.Mahon some quAtions respecting
r")' conduct towards the Duke.of York, and whether

-
was any thing unhandsome in the propositions
made him. I would wish Colonel M'Mahon to say

*•‘. .at those propositions were, and what was the soti-
•-• •nce of the messages that he brologht bowl:mu,
