I can collect nothing certain about Sr. Grey Cooper. Lady Cooper
was at Court on Friday. Ord a Master in Chancery an
intimate friend of his spoke about him to Douglas 2 or 3 days
ago as usual. But the house is shut up: and Far says
he heard at the Treasury that there was a board yesterday & Sr G. was not there. yesterday
Yet Sr G. is the man on whom the routine of business rests
and who never used to fail attending — Robinson is more the
confidential man.
A presumption against him is that tho' the General
Advertiser (rampant an opposition paper) is has been full of paragraphs
about it, the Morning Post (a violent ministerial one) has
never contradicted it. It seems allow'd that he has been living
beyond his income.
Look at a file of Morning Posts from about a fortnight
to about a month ago - you will find I am told by Far an advertisement
about a new-invented instrument for drawing called
a [Deline]ator invented by one Storer Storer a Painter somewhere near
Lnn Fields. The advertisement takes up almost a whole
column. Sr J. Reynolds it is said makes use of it
Du Noyer dined at Q.S.P. a few days ago, and according
to Q.S.P's account told wonderful stories of this Storer.
That he has invented a looking-glass that shews you your picture
without reversing it. That he has invented another
by which a man who is on one side of a hill may see
what is done at the opposite - A la bonne heure say I
if he has a glass at top, otherwise impossible without making
the rays of light travel in curve instead of right lines.
He is to exhibit in a few days to two or three members of Parliament, for
the sake of getting an Act to secure him the property of his invention.
