CASE OF CAPTAIN HANCIIETT.

Mr. LUSHIMOTON rose to call the serious @teen..
tion of the House to 0 Petition which he Inlet in
his hand. It was from three gallant officers in his
Majesty's service, whose conduct had been grossly
and scandalously aspersed by Ciptaio Hstichett,
late of the navy. The Petitioners were, Captain
Knight, Lieutenant Neale, and Lieutenant. Until
braise They complained (arid justly ton) that
with t any previous intimation, without any op.
portiatiny of being heard its their own jUstilictitiony
if any charge were to he brought against them, they
had been grimily aspersed by the publication of the
foulest calumnies against their characters and
honour. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to
state that the complaint of the Petitioners had re-
fereoce to the prestutation of a Petition of Glinting
Ilatichett's by &bp honourable Gentleman . op-
posite (NIG ileitt;tt) on a foi-mer night. That
Petition had not been printed, but it was
known that there were other cliatioels through
which what passed in that [louse beCai,ie
known to the public, become matter of notoriety
indeed on the very roortiing after their del, slot.
When he made allusion to those chaunels of coin.;
moon anon to the ptitilic, he might in this parti-
cular instance complain of very egregeous mitre;
presentations of what passed its that house, whieli
had gone forth to the public.—(The. lion. Gen-
tleman's allusion had no reference to this Poper.)—
In the report of what pirated there were massy things
not stated fts they. had occurred, and there were
many things omitted. He begged particularly to
complain of sonic remarks, um, this business,
which, were published in The Times Newspaper,
sod which he firmly belieied came from a polluted
source.—llleor.l—He made tins allusion to the
isicorrectness of what had been published, for the
purpose of inducing the persons to whom it applied;
to be snore cactious in their stateinenta of what oc-
curred respecting individuals, either in or out of
that House, And to recollect the injurious conse-
quences to individual character, from inaccuracy
upon such occasions.—((fear, hear.p-The Ho-
nourable Member diets reverting to the contents
of the Petition lie was about to present, said that
the Petitioners complained of being traduced and
vilified, and avowed their earnest readiness to meet
any complaints which could be brought against
them. He begged, before he intimated any inten.
tints with respect to the course it would be
incumbent triton him to take respecting this Peti-
noir. to ask the Hon. Member opposite oh,ir step.

Its the interim he would move that this Petition be
brought up.
Mr. blitikETT commenced by stating, that lie
did not consider himself answerable us any respect
for any statement of the debates which occurred in
that £lowie.—(lfeur.j-1 le kn.... 'MI s• g of the
