that charges should be made against a man, when a
trial was denied. Nothing could justify thus holding
ifiti indefinite charge over a maii's head. The Hon.
Gthi'tleman produceao variety of documents in fa-
vour of Captain Folkea, praising his conduct as a
Gentleman and an flicer. Of alt the Officers under
.whom Captain Fo tt haik. served, he ecitild say
there was but One wio failed to bear testimony to
his meritorious conduCt, as an Officer. Testimonials
of such a nature Ai those he had produced must sink
deep.in the minds of all honourable men, and refire
the calumnies which have been so unwarrantably
circulated to his prejudice. The Articles of War he
could not but consider as the law of . the Army. It
was not right that an officer should be denied access
to the Royal ear: After some further observations
on the circumstances of the case, he defended the
propriety of Captain Foskett's application to the
• House. It had-been said, if they attended to his
application, their table would be covered with appeals
from the Army. This he denied ; the- effetit of the
motion he should have the honour to make would
be directly the reverse, as it would shew the. Army
'they had a tribunal of their own, competent to re-
dress such grievances. It the motion sliduld 'be re.
jetted, he knew not where the Officers of the Army
were to make their complaints or seek 'for justice.
He concluded by moving certain resolutions decla-
ratory of the first Article of War (the 12th section)
arid imputingto Sir D. Dundas an omission of an es-:
sentiA i
part of his duty as -Commander n Chief,
ill refusing to enforce.that article. He also moved
an Address to his Majesty on the subjeCt.
Gen. CRAWFORD thought that . the Hon. Mover
seemed to wish to wrest the command of the army
from the Crown, an a! tempt totally contrary to the
law of the land. If the allegations preferred against
the Duke of Cumberland and ;he Commander in
Chief were proved,' they must be unfit for their Si-
tuations, and guilty of the most heinous crimes.---
He would not let another wont] elapse without
coming •forward to confute ithe charges so injurious
to the characters of the accused, which he hoped to
acco.nplish by-the means of the documents in his
possession. The persons aecused-ackno .letge (tie
fads,. but they deny the inferences and deituctions
from them. He could adduce the slat, mews of
Colonel Grant on the subject of the Duel, as well. as
that of, Mr. Jsnes, the Adjutant of the Itt•Juoeut,
who would take his oath that,Lietreliant Wallis re-
lated to- him the.cireurnstances precisely as hi• mat, d.
The parties fire+. 5 shots, and u,ed hair titggers,
and that at the very moment the pistol unexpected-
ly went off, Lieut. Wallis was actually setting ihe
hair-trigger. He was sorry that the ,i-loe. Gentle.
man should 'say, that persons. going out to fight
shot ld not return without being wounded. For his
part he had seen a great deal
.01 blood and wounds,_
yet he was not so bi ody minded. He wished that
no duel might ever be attended with blood. • In this
affair the conduct of Captain FoSkett was such, that
in hit opinion no Court Martial could justly ad other-
wise than cashier him. The Commanding Officer of
the Regiment having heard of the intended duel, or-
ders the parties to be put under an arrest ; the Ad-
jutant on his way to execute this order meets Captain •
Foskett, and to au inquiry of where the parties are
to be found, he answers that he does not know--•
thus intentionally letting slip the best opportunity
of preventing the duel. •In 1806, the Duke of
Cumberland considered captain Foskett as a very
negligent Troop-officer, and not sufficient to Com-
mand a squadron, trout his inability in the field. It
had ,been said that the eldest Captain had a right to
be promoted, he denied the existence of such a right,
,unless accompanied by merit. ' In the case of pro-
motion, the Commander of the Regiment is the
only respensible person ; it is his duty to give to the
Commander in Chief a faithful and concientious re-.
commendation.. The condutt of the Duke of Cum- i
berland was remarkable for its moderation and for-
bearance. The gallant General then entered into a
lengthened recapitulation , of his former statements
o i this subject, and observed that every good officer
would repine at the relaxatiOn of discipline, and at
the encouragement of the litigicins and the negligent.
He felt a concientious conviction that justice was on
the sidebf theaccusei. He concluded by moving
the previous question,: and gave his negative to, the
rest.
