Reported proceedings detail a three charge trial against Colonel Hay for misapplication of funds, unpaid debts, and failed accounting connected to depots and paymaster records. Witnesses probed receipts, with Hay denying wrongdoing while offering explanations and demanding full document production.
The trial centers on accused financial mismanagement in the 18th Hussars. Colonel Hay argues patrimony accounts, depots, and paymaster discrepancies involved himself and Col Murray. Witnesses reveal receipts, insolvent acts, and alleged improper payments between Patrick the corporal and others, with Murray and the Horse Guards under scrutiny.
The trial details Colonel Murray facing charges over misused funds and disputed accounts from 1817 1818. Col Hay and others testified on routine duties and the handling of receipts while Murray defended his conduct citing lack of official delivery and memory gaps. The court heard character witnesses praising Hay and Spencer as honorable. Murray appealed for fair consideration and maintained his integrity despite the heated proceedings.
The court declares no personal animosity toward Colonel Hayne and denies additional proof. Colonel Hayne wishes to explain points raised by Colonel Murray, but the court blocks further reply. The court is then cleared as members consider the case. The final decision will not be deferred to the Duke of York.
