Mr. Hearn had visited a house on one of more occasions with his Brother and there played billiards with other gentlemen. To avoid the consequences which he incurred on such occasions, though the gentlemen whom he personated.

On this point, His Excellency read a memorandum from the Captain Superintendent of Police drawn up pursuant to enquiries which he had been directed to make, from which it appeared that on the 10th October 1895, three Europeans visited the house of a registered prostitute named Maxwell. Two of them addressed the third European as "Sir William Wiseman" and he himself acquiesced in that name.

Some days afterwards, a bill was sent in to Sir William Wiseman for fifteen dollars purporting to be for a debt incurred on the occasion referred to. He repudiated it and consulted Mr. Ayres about it. Mr. Ayres thereupon made enquiries at the house in question and concluded from the general description given of the person who had on that occasion represented himself as Sir William Wiseman that it must have been Mr. Hearn.

On the 26th March, at the Central School, Sir William Wiseman, upon being informed of this, taxed Mr. Hearn with it, and it was not denied, and subsequently Mr. Hearn went in company with Mr. Travers for the purpose of paying the debt. The memorandum also referred to other cases of a similar kind in which the 2nd Battalion, and Mr. Sherrard, and Mr. Travers were involved.
