« Abuses that are gone abroad.
I am repeatedly told, by respectable people and from all quarters, that it is talked
in their countries that Chifney lost intentionally upon His Royal Highness the Prince
of Wales’s horse Escape, at Newmarket, on the 20
th
of October 1791; and after Escape had pulled up on this said race to walk back to
scale, that Chifney was laughing to the Prince of Wales because he had got Escape
beat; and then, to suit their wicked construction, they said, and I find that it is
sent out to the world, that the Prince won such an immense sum of money upon Escape
the following day; and that the Prince gives Chifney two hundred guineas a year for
his life after his losing this said race with Escape. » Présentation de l’éditeur
