"Did I tell you of a scoundrel about the court, that sells employments to ignorant people, and cheats them of their money? He lately made a bargain for the vicechamberlain's place, for seven thousand pounds, and had received some guineas earnest; but the whole thing was discovered the other day, and examinations taken of it by lord Dartmouth, and I hope he will be swinged. The vicechamberlain told me several particulars of it last night at lord Masham's."
