“It was his usual custom to carry a great number of _bank notes_ in his waistcoat pocket, twisted up together with the greatest indifference. When, in his attendance upon a hazard table at Windsor, during the races, being a _standing better_, and every chair full, a person’s hand was observed, by those on the opposite side of the table, just in the act of drawing two notes out of his pocket. The alarm was given, and the hand, from the person behind, was _instantaneously_ withdrawn, and the notes left more than half out of the pocket. The company became clamorous for the offender being taken before a magistrate, and many attempted to secure him for the purpose; the Captain very _philosophically_ seizing him by the collar, kicked him down stairs, and exultingly exclaimed, ‘’twas a _sufficient punishment_ to be deprived of the pleasure of keeping company with _jontlemon_.’ “A bet for a large sum was once proposed to Col. O’Kelly, at a race, and accepted. The proposer asked the Colonel where lay his estates to answer for the amount if he lost? ‘My estates! by _Jasus_.’ cried O’Kelly. ‘Oh, if that’s what you _mane_, I’ve a map of them here.’ Then, opening his pocket book, he exhibited bank notes to ten times the sum in question, and, ultimately, added the enquirer’s contribution to them.” “_An advertisement copied from the Courier, 5 Mar. 1794._ As Faro is the most fashionable circular game in the _haut ton_, in exclusion of melancholy Whist, and to prevent a company being cantoned into separate parties, a gentleman, of unexceptionable character, will, on invitation, do himself the honour to attend the rout of any lady, nobleman, or gentleman, with a Faro Bank and Fund, adequate to the style of play, from 500 to 2000 guineas. Address G. A. by letter, to be left at Mr Harding’s, Piccadilly, nearly opposite Bond Street.—_N.B._ This advertisement will not appear again.” “On _Sunday_ night, towards the end of December 1795. Gen. Tarleton lost £800 at Mrs Concannon’s; Mr Hankey, £300. The Prince was to have been there, but sent a late excuse. Mr Boone of the Guards; Mr Derby, son of the late Admiral, and Mr Dashwood, frequently rise winners or losers of £5000 nightly. Lord Cholmondeley, Thompson & Co. were Faro Bankers at Brookes’s, till which there was no Faro Bank of _male_ celebrity, except at the Cocoa Tree.” “Henry Weston, who was hanged for forgery, was nephew to the late Admiral Sir Hugh Palliser.
