appointed to that regime*, end was preparing to jois, with which
view be =me to purchase two homes for the service. Mr. Cooper
shelved him sevetai, and be pitched upon mete, for which he agreed
to pay 160 guineas; but saying that be watioing to stop in town
some days, and would not use the horses about the streets, he re-
gamed to have:a pair of backs for himself aod Jib servant. Mr.
Cooper happened to know the servant, who bad been only hired the
day before by the prisoner, and he let bins have the horses, which he
has been riding about for several-days; while in the meantime Mr.
Cooper was preparing hone-cloths, saddlery, Bte. for the prismer,
according tq his direction!. On the last occasion, howeverohat
be called, Mr. Cooper happened to get a peep at the prisoner's shirt,
which appeared to be of a very dark colour for an Officer of the 9th
Lancers; and although be knew the Conyers family in Essex to be
highly respectable, be began to suspect something wrong, and men.
timed his suspicions to a person who had been in the service of his
Royal Highness the Duke of York, and who now holds a situation
in the Revenue. • This person went with Mr. Cooper to the War
Office, where they were informed that there was no person of the
name of Conyers in the 9th, nor was there likely to be, and that up-
werds of fifty persons had already been at the Office inquiring about
the same person. Upon this Mr. Cooper said that he bad no doubt
the prisoner was a swindler, and determined to secure him when
next he called. The prisoner, however, did not call since, nor did
Mr. Cooper hear anything of him until that morning. ..
Dir. lion then ordered the prisoner to be searched, and on un-
buttoning his beautiful lace coat, a most extraordinary sight was
exhibited. his shirt was not dark, but black, and almost in rib-
boas, and there was no waistcoat to hide any part of it. On pro-
ceeding further, Plank, the chief officer who searched him, found
in his trowsers pocket a pistol loaded to the muzzle, and primed,
end a large bottle of laudanum about half filled.
Mr. East, a tailor, residing In Duke-street, St. James's next
came forward, and said that a servant whom be had formerly known
as living with a Gent:eman that dealt with him, called on bins and
said that he had just been hired by Captain Conyers, of the 9th
Lancers, who wauted an entire fit-out to join the regiment, and
wished Mr. East to have the job. Mr. East accordingly waited
upon the Captain, at the Bedford Hotel, in Covent-Garden. where
he appeared to be living in very great style. The Captain, who is
the present prisoner' confirmed what the servant bad said, and gave
Mi. East an order for 701. worth of uniform, &c. for the 9th
Lancers; part of the order was executed, to the amount ot' About
201. and the things delivered to the prisoner at the Bedford. who
told Mr. East that whei the order was completed he would give
a cheek upon his banker for the whole amount; but when be next
inquiced for the prisoner at the hotel, he found that he bad des
camped, and be saw no more of him until he saw him by accident
passing with Mr. Cooper in the coach, and he followed him to the
office. The rest of the order Mr. Eut said is completed at Meals
and the things being made for so alight a man as the prisoner, they
ate totally useless.
The bauons on the scarlet jacket were here examined by Plank,
and found mbar the inscription, " 15th Native Bengal Infantry."
Mr. East said, that this part of the dress did not Woos to Mat,
but the crimson trowsers did.
The prisoner here said that beast the jacket that morningfreeen

Plank here observed a small pocket which had escaped his search,
and putting his hand in, took out a paper, in which was contained
two checks, one for Al 5, and the other ,125, in these words I
