&c. falsely assert and report at Dartford in the County of Kent, and at
other places on his way between Dover and London, the several false
matters and things last mentioned, to divers other of the liege subjects
of our said Lord the King with intention that the said last mentioned

which they wore; and the horses drawing the said post-chaise then and
there being decorated with branches of laurel, to and over London
Bridge, and through the City of London, unto and over Blackfriars
Bridge, and unto a certain place called the Marsh Gate, in the Parish of
St. Mary Lambeth, in the County of Surry, with intention thereby to
induce the liege subjects, &c. whom they should pass, and who should see

increase and rise in the prices of the said public Government Funds, &c.
in order and for the purpose that the said _Sir Thomas Cochrane_,
_Andrew Cochrane Johnstone_, _Richard Gathorne Butt_, and _John Peter
Holloway_, respectively should then sell and cause and procure to be
sold for them respectively to divers subjects, &c. divers large parts
and shares of and in the said public Government Funds &c. at higher and
