Asand
heard of two attempts which they have made of theirs,
one of them by the immediate relation of the
person whose d relation one of the attempt was party concerned
made and whose testimony if the story he
told me was true would in both cases be
legal evidence. Their schemes are seem to be carried on
with so much artifice that a person who
was not intimately conversant with the of your Lordships department might
be imposed upon by them without any very
great imputation upon his prudence: especially
as they set do out without requiring pretending
not to take a farthing till the business be accomplished.
⊞ ⊞ In the instances I allude to a person man of judgment who had the honour of a personal knowledge acquaintance intimacy with your Lordship or who had been thoroughly acquainted with the forms of office might a without much hesitation I suppose have pronounced it a fraud from the beginning: but as the bulk of expectants are in neither of these predicaments, I should apprehend not wonder if there were many men who suffered themselves to be imposed upon: especially in for the business imposition seems to be conducted with a ca considerable share of artifice, and they set out with pretending to to take no money till the places are actually in possession.
I have been told that some intimation is
given of them in a recent publication
on the subject of swindling which I have
not seen in which Mrs Steele is characterized
by the initial letter of her name.
I understand that it is in 2 vols. 8vo and
written by one Parker I think the name
is, but I have never seen it.
