Mr. Gower, a benevolent and confiding gentleman, the other day got into conversation with a soldier belonging to the Grenadier Guards, who told him that he had a wealthy relative from whom he could obtain money if he could apply for it in plain clothes. Mr. Gower accordingly agreed to exchange clothes with him and after waiting in vain for his return, went to the barracks to explain the matter. He was then given into custody for aiding the soldier to desert, but when brought ud in Bow-street, Mr. Flowers, believing that he had been imposed upon, dismissed the case.
