and he was also at the taking of THAT Admiral in consequence of the length of time the fleet had served with scarcely any intermission, (near years,) promised to get the crews of the different ships discharged, but the crew of the had attained so good a character, that they have all been drafted into other ships, without being permitted to visit their friends.

THAT during the great length of time the said I. B. has been in the service, he has not been permitted to visit his friends but once, and then only for days: That he has received a hurt in his side, and has always been afflicted with weak eyes: That he is now placed in a very small gun brig, so that the sea is continually washing over him, and he has not known what it is to have dry clothes on since he has been on board it: and that these concomitant circumstances have so impaired his health, that he expects death will be the consequence if he is not speedily released from it.

THAT your petitioner has received letters from his said. son stating the lastmentioned circumstances, and requesting your petitioner to get him discharged if possible; but his modesty has not permitted him to say any thing in his letters respecting the noble exploit he performed under Lord as hereinbefore stated, your petitioner having learned that circumstance from an officer on board the same ship.

THAT your petitioner being ignorant to whom else to apply to get his said son discharged from the navy, and being your Grace's tenant, humbly hopes you will not be offended at his applying to you, wishing as he does from the workings of paternal affection towards his said child, to procure him the favour he desires.

YOUR PETITIONER therefore most humbly prays your Grace, that you will be pleased to take the case of the said I. B. into consideration, and on account of the length and nature of his service, and of his ill state of health, which is rendered every day worse by his present situation, that you will condescend to use your influence (which must be effectual) to get him discharged from the navy.

AND your petitioner, as in duty bound, will ever pray, &c.
