I would suggest these versions: Why did Baron Hausberg give ten thousand pounds to Hughie. What did Baron Hausberg give ten thousand pounds Hughie for?

yes, there is a misprint.
It should probably be "Why did Baron H give ....?" - i.e. what were the reasons for the gift. Or "What did Baron H..... to Hughie for?" i.e. what was the purpose of the gift.
Edit. Gah, Torsten beat me by seconds... ;) Glad we had the same answers though... |

Hello Charm, in my opinion, the version below could work as well.

That would be okay conversationally, but not in this context. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |
