The statement he wool Make is support of the charges would be only of facts, without cosorseut. 10 the south of January, 1019, John Da Costa was appoi•ted seaman to the regions,. and he was removed from that situation in the moodier J y, HMO; be then made a complaint that he could sot get pay. meet of a large sem due to him by Coplain tough, aid which was the cause of his and his family being in greet distress. He used the memos, on receiving thea inforrnitioh, which he thotight was beat, and the most teeii. rat to . C.apgain Gough; he admonished, exhorted, and rommauded his I. pay the debt, which be acknowledged was dee to Da Costa, with:int effect, for still the debt remained without being li quidated. He gave orders is every shape in Captain Gough to discharge it, all of which were disobeyed; he promised him and the Adjutant to pay it on certain den all of which promises were falsified. This want of veracity ,wea the foundation of the second charge. Da Costa, who had so connexion with the teeniest after his being dismissed ss niessman, refused to leave the apartments be occupied in She barracks until Captain Gough paid his demand, and the officers of the regiment were obliged to hire apartments fur his successor, In Kuightsbridge, at their own expense, which called firth their animadversions on Ilk conduct of Calls" Gough, which were as fling as the older of his Cum. mending Officer in enforce the raiment of the debt. In the mouth of June, 1810, the Committee of the Me., scat a let ter to Capitols Gough, informing him that be was not to eon sides hini.e.f as auy longer bi toiling to the regimental mess. Captain Gough absented himself from the regiment on I aye, contrary to the regimental standee, order, which required every officer, on absenting himself, to leave his sdoress with the Adjutant of the reginseut, which Captain Gough stifle Ily oegleited to do. Da Costa west to his na tive country, Milan, and left his wife rind family here, and she was unceasing in her impoitunities to him (Colonel Comae) forthe payment of the 2161. due by Captain Gough to her husband, and on account of its sot behig paid, Da Costa was obliged to return to this country. In the mouth of August, 1140, the officers of the regiment had the salisfactios to hear that Captain Gough had &whirrd the debt, but on the 7th of the same month he (Col. Comae) received stetter front Da Costa, stating, that Mr. Peachey, Capt. Gough's Agent, lit paling his cleaned, paid him 861. by as seeeptenes ends (Di Costa'.) of • bill thaws un him by Richard Gough, the brother of Capt. Gough, with whom he had dealings for 'wine, and who, in fact, was indebted to hint (Da Costs) in the sum of 471. which he would hue, and also the interest on the 2161.—but be was obliged to take it, his distress 'being io great. This letter he gave to General Lord Harrington, and he ordered a Court of Inquiry to surestigate the emidiet4 of 'Captain Gough, who attended the inquiry; aid the Carnet, from the examination of Da Costa's books, foetid that Captain Gough had been in the habit of burrowing money from Da Costa, and ordering dinners in his private apart ment for his brother, Dr. Gough, and another person ; making use of the mess utensils sad the reeiniestall wine, which be ordered Da Costa to charge to his (Cantons Gough's) friends, although they were in oo way cooneeted with the regiment; and it also appeared that be allowed Da Costa to gamble with his etrinpnoions fur wire in his presence, and Da Costa used to return to the mess kitchen intozieated, sad boast of the familiar terms he was es with Captain Gough. The Court of Inquiry found that the sum of 216 f. claimed by Da Costa to be due to him by Captain Gough, was a just demand. This Report he (Calomel Caustic) transmitted to S I Lord Harrisigtoo, and his Lordship transmitted it to Captsiu Gough, and be demanded • Court 111artisl, which was granted by C I. Lord Hes ringtote, and his Lordship ordered that he should be the prosecutor, and however unpleasant the task was, he would dip 'his duty. He had gives Da Costa Notice to be ready Se produce his hooks before that Honourable Court, but to his great astonishment he said be hail destroyed his books, and however surprising it might appear t it wss not his intention to produce him as • witness on this occasion, although he was in Loudon; fir, from . 'be was cosvineed if be did produce him he would out give lily evidence with- out it was favourable to Captain Gulag's. It would there. fore become bit duly to call witnesses 14 prove the dry facts be had stated, and is his statement, if he had Otsego rated any thing, he could 'more the Court it hid not bees his intention ; and he had done so, be had the satisfaction of knowing that it would be in the power of Captain Gough to correct it. Adjutant Thomas Eman, of She Ist regiment of Life 'Guards, being swora—He deposed he had been right years Adjutant of the regiment, thus he knew John Da Costa, the late mcaamau of the regiment ; he was appoiuted awesome i■ 'Juana' ylBl9, sett ceased to be su is J y 1820; and after his dismissal, he made frequent complaints to the wit mese that he could not get paid a large dabs doe to him by Captain Gough, some of which complaints he communicated to the Commanding Officer of the regiment, Col. Comae. He told D 4 Costa to go to Captain Gough, before be made any complaiut to the Commanding 11Ificer ; but, wheiber be did or not, he could not say. Colonel Comae fremsently sent orders by the witness to Captain Gough to pay Da Costa's remand; on these °treeless Captain Gough did not object to any part of the demand, he used to say he would settle it trmurrow, or words to that iffect, which remises be did not keep, as the bill was not paid until the month of August. He knew that Captain Gough 'did nut obey the orders of Colonel Cantee to pay the bill, for he often deli livered to him the orders of the Colonel, from the month of January to Jure, and they were sot complied with. After Da Costa's departure fart Italy, his wife made several appli cations for payment of Captain Cough's. bill, to Colonel Camac, G I O'Loughlin, aid General Lord Harrington. Colonel Comae gave orders to the Officers of the regiment collectively, to pay their mesa bills; the witness tied Captain Gossett west present at the Sime,it was in the mouth ofJanstary 1820, Gem rat O'Loughlin ordered a Coast of Inquiry on the 'salmi of Da Coati's complaint spinet Captain Gough, and the Cons t sat un the 12th of Ju1..., 1820, the proceedings of Oat Court sere regularly eutered is the Heginseusal Court mortal book. After the Court of Inquiry, Da Costa made further complaints of his demand not being paid in full by Captain Gough, sod Lord Harrington ordered another Court of Inquiry to investigate the subject ; it sat on the 9th of A ugust,lB2o. Captain Gough had leave of absence frost the regiment, from the 20th of January 1820, to the 24th of June, and it was afterwards prolonged, by Geseral Lord Harrington, from the 28th of June to She 4th of August ; but Captain Gough did not avail himself of She • hole time; he was, however, a►sert from the regiment during the time /seep! four or Ire days, and in nor sired of his absence did he leave his address with the witnest.

Colonel Camac begged the attention of the Court for • few minutes. He said that the Learned Gentlemen bad only dose him justice whew be said he had no private Oriole to gratify as the Prosecutor. He disclaimed Weise any asi meshy towards Captain Gough; the testiest" of hie feelings were the reverse. It was, however, necessary that he should put t►e Hots.
