James Hartley Dathan is son of an old officer in the army, who, after 36 years of service, was taken prisoner with General Matthews at Hyderabad, and never heard of more. This officer entered the Navy, 1 Nov. 1779, as Captain’s Servant, on borad the Berwick 74, Capt. Hon. Keith Stewart, in which ship he sailed for the West Indies. In Aug. 1780, he removed to the Sultan 74, Capt. Alex. Gardner, flag-ship subsequently of Sir Edw. Hughes, Commander-in-Chief in the East Indies, where he appears to have been wounded while participating in five sanguinary actions fought, between 17 Feb. 1782, and 20 June, 1783, with the French fleet under M. de Suffrein. After an interval of five years he re-embarked, 29 May, 1790, on board the Salisbury 50, Capt. Wm. ​Domett, bearing the flag at Newfoundland of Vice-Admiral Milbanke. In 1793 he proceeded to the Mediterranean in the Diadem 64, Capt. Andrew Sutherland; and on there joining, as Midshipman, the Berwick 74, he was present in that vessel, under Capt. Adam Littlejohn, who was killed, when she was taken, after a brave defence, by the French fleet, 7 March, 1795. On 14 of the same month he chanced, as a prisoner in the enemy’s ship Languedoc to be an eye-witness of Vice-Admiral Hotham’s first partial action. Being restored to liberty in the following Aug., Mr. Dathan immediately joined the Ça Ira 80, Capt. Chas. Dudley Pater, which ship was accidentally burnt, in St. Fiorenza Bay, 11 April, 1796.

Hamilton, on the Newfoundland station; and, on 2 July, 1798, was promoted to a Lieutenancy in the Hazard, of 24 or 26 guns, Capts. Wm. Butterfield and Rich. John Neve.

This prize, with all the prisoners, Mr. Dathan, aided by 20 of the Hazard,’s crew, conducted into Cork; which place, however, in consequence of her shattered state, he was eight days in reaching. The Hazard, being paid off in June, 1802, he was lastly, from Aug. 1803, to July, 1810, and from Sept. 1811, until Aug. 1814, employed in the Impress service at North Shields, and also in London. He accepted his present rank 12 Oct. 1841.

It is in law used both actively and neuterly; as, to abate a castle, to beat it down. To abate a writ, is, by some exception, to defeat or overthrow it. A stranger abateth, that is, entereth upon a house or land void by the death of him that last, possessed it, before the heir take his possession, and so keepeth him out. Wherefore, as he that putteth out him in possession, is said to disseise: so he that steppeth in between the former possessor and his heir is said to abate. In the neuter signification thus: The writ of the demandment shall abate, that is, shall be disabled, frustrated, or overthrown. The appeal abateth by covin, that is, that the accusation is defeated by deceit.Cowel.
