A parliamentary committee probes hoax letters and a brass-backed plot tied to Lord Cochrane. Witnesses describe a counterfeit note, a red nosed stranger, a chaise to Grosvenor Square, and a scheme to remove five men to London with forged orders.
Lord Cochrane states he came to town on leave to address a scandalous public notice and reports of handbills in the streets. He asserts a person visited his home at No 13 Green Street in February, wearing a uniform, and claims the witness saw only that one person at his house that day.
Sir Thomas Cochrane swears at his Great Queen Street home that Captain Berenger pressed him to join a plan to board his ship and seek an appointment. He denies any improper stock dealings or involvement with funds, stating he held one Omnium stock and sold it for a modest gain, with no other brokers or offices involved.
