Narrative of Daniel Perreau and Adams Adair Intrigues in 1774
In a lengthy 1775 confession from Newegate Jane Perreau, details emerge of schemes involving Mrs Rudd, Mr James Adair, and Mr William Adair aimed at advancing Perreau and his brother in banking and Parliament. Promises of seats, bonds, loans, and a large estate are described, with money moving through Pall Mall and Pall Mall Court, including bonds paid to Mrs Rudd and forwarded to Adair. The narrative suggests manipulation to secure a banking partnership, political office, and potential titles, culminating in ongoing efforts to obtain funds and place Perreau’s family in favorable positions.
