ÓHN PURCELL, of the city of Dublin,
painter. Att. Peter Bayley.

We request our Correfpondents to pay the Poftage of fuch Favours as they may be pleafed to fend us; otherwife they will not be received: many of them being unworthy of Notice.

An Account of the Cafe of Mr. Daniel Perreau, and the Narrative. of Mrs. Rudd, as written by themfelves: With an elegant Engraving of Mrs. Rudd, copied from an original Painting found in Mr. Daniel Perreau's Houfe, when his Effects were feized by fundry Executions,

WH

HEN we confider the enormity of the crime for which the two Perreaus have been convicted, and Mrs. Rudd is foon to be brought to trial; the great fums for which the bonds were forged; the fphere of life in which the accufed parties ranked; and the excellent character one of them bore; it is no wonder that the public curiofity is fo much awakened, as to feek with avidity, for every thing relative thereto, which appears authentic. Accordingly the cafe of Mr. Daniel Perreau, and the narrative of Mrs. Rudd, published by themfelves, have attracted much of the public attention. We would readily give them to our readers, were they not of fuch a length, as to exceed even the limits of our magazine. We fhall, therefore, only give the fubitance of each; bring them into a contrafted view, and mark out wherein they contradict each other; each feeming to aim at felf-exculpation, and at throwing the whole blame on the other. Which of them deferves moft credit we leave to the fagacious reader; only remarking that it is highly probable, the real truth of thefe extraordinary transactions will not be known, till the hopes of life, being cut off from fome of thefe unhappy people, the profpect of death may induce them to confefs

their crimes.

Auguft, 1775

Mr. Daniel Perreau says, " about the month of April, 1770, he was introduced to Mrs. Rudd (then known by the name of Gore); that he frequently vifited, and at length became much attached to her; that he appeared to be much embarrassed in her circumstances, for the borrowed money from him feveral times; and finding the was strongly preffed for more, he conceived her to be much involved in debt, and proposed to withdraw himself from any farther conne&tion; at which the appeared much affected, and intreated him to discharge her debts, which the faid amounted to about 400l. and affured him that he would exert her utmoît endeavours, by her future difcretion, fidelity, and attachment to his interefts, to requite him for fuch fingular friendship. That having now imbibed a great degree of affection for her, he unhappily acquiefced; and from that time he had every reafon to be fatisfied with her difcretion, economy, and apparent fidelity. That he was not then acquainted Mrs. Rudd had a husband living; but about the month of October following, fhe was much aiarmed at being told that her husband had been enquiring for her; when the informed him that her husband was a moft debauched, drunken man, who had ufed her with great barbarity; that the had been comLII

pelled to claim the protection of the law, and that her profecution had induced him to abfcond. She appeared to be exceedingly apprehenfive of Mr.Rudd's defigns, and intreated Mr. Perreau's protection; and in order to render her as eafy as poflible, he removed her to other lodgings, where he remained until the Chrifimas following, by which time her hufband had quitted the kingdom, and Mr. Perreau then received her into his own houfe, where the remained under the name of Gore."

This is diametrically oppofite to what Mrs. Rudd afferts in her narrative; the represents herself as a woman of fortune, and fays, "In the latter part of fummer, 1769, a friend died, who, in confideration of the unmerited ill-treatment I had received from Mr. Rudd, and my being left by him unprovided for, bequeathed me 13,000l, and 3000l., more to purchase jewels, plate,and furniture; in all 16,000l. "This legacy was ordered by the donor to be paid me by intalments, and at diftant specified times (and accordingly was) with an annuity of 600l. per annum, until the whole was discharged; the annuity decreasing in proportion as the legacy was paid off.

"In October 1769, the truttee waited upon me, and paid me one year's full annuity (as the first payment of the bequeft was not to take place till that time twelvemonth.) In thefe circumftances, and entitled to the faid fortune, I firit faw Mr. Perreau; our acquaintance commenced on, or near the year 1770, and our union took place the 20th of May, 1770, fixteen days after his certificate of bankruptcy was figned;" and adds in another part, "when we came together, he told me his income was 3ool. a year, (the principal lodged in the funds): this inferiority of fortune gave me pleasure, as it afforded me an opportunity of proving the difintereftednets of my attachment, and the fupreme felicity of obliging him, by a delicate, well-timed generofity. The manner more than the gift confers the obligation. My feelings on this point have ever been fo refined, that while he preferved even the fhadow of decorum in his frequent calls for money, I ftudied to know his wants, to relieve them unafked, and thereby fpare his and my own fenfibility the pain of difcuffing fo unpleafing a topic. In his happineís I placed mine; I therefore valued fortune but in proportion as it contributed to his eafe and credit."

Mr. Perreau next proceeds to mention, what Mrs. Rudd had told concerning her

family; of her uncle Mr. Stewart, a gentleman of fortune in the north of Ireland, and that Mr. James Adair of Sohofquare, was her ear relation; that fle brought him his eldest daughter in July mer of the year 1772, Mr. John Stew1771, and goes on thus: "In the fumart, who I understood to be Mrs. Rudd's coufin, arrived from Ireland, vifited us frequently, and expreffed great fatisfac tion to find Mrs. Rudd in fo comfortable a fituation; told us, that her husband expreffed it as his idea, that it was imlived in the most irregular manner; and probable he should ever come to disturb our tranquility. Mr. Stewart, Mrs. Rudd frequently told After the arrival of me fhe had great hopes of being rettored to the friendship of Mr. James Adair, and that her coufin had been defired by Mr. J. Adair to bring her to the house of Mr. Thomas Cairns, a merchant in the City, and that Mr. James Adair would meet her there in the evening. Mrs. Rudd accordingly went with Mr. Stewart to Mr. Cairns, who I found was likewife a cousin of her's: on her return for interview with her worthy friend Mr. fhe told me he had had the fo much wifhed the warmest friendfhip, faying, he would James Adair, who had received her with frequently visit her in Pall-mall Court.— Soon after this, Mr. Stewart returned to Ireland; and Mrs. Rudd told me, that than once, but ftaid only for a moment; Mr. James Adair had vifited her more the alfo frequently faid, he had met with him in her walks, and that he interested himself warmly in her affairs; telling her, he would take the first opportunity to reprefent her fituation to her uncle Stewart, in fuch a manner as would be ferviceable to her.

In July, 1772, fhe produced sool. faying, Mr. James Adair had brought her that fum; telling her, that he was directed to pay it to her uncle Stewart, who had informed him, that it was a legacy left by her. grandmother in truft to him, to be paid to her whenever he perceived he was able to enjoy it, without moleftation from her husband.-Three or four months afterwards, the produced about 400l. more, which the faid arose from prefents which Mr. J.
