Mr. Roebuck was b. 1752. He was much implicated in pecu-

niary transactions with the Native Princes, and, when Mr.

Benfield was ordered to England, he was sent to Gavjam, on

account of his proceedings with the Nabob of the Carnatic.

When the debts of that Prince were investigated, Mr. Roebuck

claimed, as principal or agent, 460,000l. Only one claim (of

30,0001.) had been adjudicated upon by the Commissioners at

the time of his death, and that was rejected.

money-lender to take some back. See Souvenirs de M.
