ret Letitia Guard, his wi!e, by reason of a COIIIIII3I
intercourse with Mr. Charles Hodge, the younger,

Lieutenant-Colonel Guard received orders to join his
regiment:, and to proceed first to the Cape of Good

orders were accompanied with a restriaion from the
Commander in Chief, that no Officer's Lady should
be permitted. to accompany her husband, although
Mrs. Guard had exprested an anxious desire so to
do ; in consequence of which she retired to Ot terrey,
in Devonshire, where shortly after she was debt eyed
of a male child, being pregnant at the departure of
her husband. Upon this occasion she was attended
by Mr. Charlet.. Hodge, the elder, of that.plape, in
his professional character of a surgeon and mari=mid-
wile. it further appeared, that .iu consequence of
such ly ing,tn, Mr. Chalks Hodge,, the younger, had
occasion to go hiCkWardS -#ltd IOFWaICIS to :Mrs.
Guard's house, whereby he hecameintituately ac;..
