Q. Witness stated before, that Mrs. Clarke could
forge the Duke of York's hand-writing ; is he aware
that such a word as forgery could have application
only to fraudulent pm-poses ? A. Yes.—Q. Did you
use the word in that sense before ?A. Yes..—Q. Did
you mean to say only, that Mrs. Clarke could imitate
the hand-writing of the Duke of York ? A. T did
say th..t she told me she could forge his Royal High-
ness's hand-writing.--Q. Did you read in the news-
papers that she said you were a Jew, and would pro-
bably s.,y any thing which you thought would suit
your int( rest ? A. No.—Q. Did Mrs. Clarke actually
say to that she forged the Duke of York's hand-
writing ? A. She said she could forge his Royal
Highness's hand-writing, and that she had done so.

mined as a witness at Clerkenwell Sessions ? A. Yes.

need not answer any questions to criminate himself.

but not against me, and I know not upon what ground
he proceeds.

Against whom ? A. It is so long standing, I can-
not tell ; Smyth has brought it forward often, and

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
objected to this question. How could it affect the
credit of this witness that there was a proceeding in-
stituted against another person 1
The Member who had before spoken on this sub-
ject, still believed the witness was implicated, from
his great hesitation.
Witness was ordered to withdraw.

Mr.. ADAM took occasion to call for the correc-
tion of a part of his evidence. He had stated, that
the Duke of York had said to him, that his Royal
Highness had not recollected to have ever written to
Mrs. Clarke upon military matters, and that if he
did, it was very rarely. Omitting the last sentence,
he observed that his testimony was correct.
Q. (Examined by Lord FOLKATONE.) Did the
Duke of York state to you that he never wrote to
Mrs. Clarke upon Military matters ? A. His Royal
Highness did certainly state to me, that he never
wrote to her upon military matters, unless in answer
to some questions in a letter from her upon that sub-
ject. His Royal Highness said to me, that Mrs.
Clarke did propose to him something with regard to
military promotions, early after his acquaintance with
her, but his Royal Highness told her that he could
not listen to such a proposition, and he never after.
wards heard any thing more of it.

in, and examined by Mr. HUSKIBSON.

w;th you ? A. Yes.—Q. Have you ever discount
ed any bills for her ? A. Yes.—•Q. Have you

tances? A. Yes.—Q. Did you discount a bill dated,
June 11, 1805, drawn by Dowler, and accepted by
Farquhar ? A. Yes.—Q. Did you ever discount anv
bills drawn by Clarke, and accepted by Farquhar ? A.
Yes.—Q. To what amount ? A. For various sums;
I discounted one for 4101.—Q. How was that bi.l
