Trelawney that the names should have been given in with the bets ; in consequence they were asked for, and immediately sent. One bet, 2, 000 to 1, 000, had been booked to Mr. Josiah Anderson, the well-known singer and comedian, who was then of good standing on the turf. In fact, the name was looked upon by Mr. Trelawney and Sir William Cawl as all right ; and so the matter ended, until the Monday following, when Mr. Anderson did not meet his creditors at ' the Corner, ' and was declared a defau...lter, Mr. Trelawney losing his 1, 000.
