 law, (for I have tried both,) against the bad usage 

 myself and children met with from Colonel Leigh, 

 Equerry to the Prince. I have desired my chil- 

 dren, from their cradle, not to tell a lie, as they 

 can never untcll it ; never to be aggressors, to 

 taunt or offend in any way, but endeavour to 

 make themselves respected, by acting to all in ;i 

 becoming, dutiful manner; but to let no diffi- 

 culties make them tell an untruth, as that unmans 

 them; and for them to use vengeance, so far as 

 they are able, against insulting injuries. 



The conduct of Colonel Leigh toward my son 

 William was an atrocious aggression, by repre- 

 senting him to a gentleman of the turf, on the 

 28th of April, as the greatest rogue and rascal 

 living. This not only hurt the boy's feelings, but 

 may be the means of depriving him of his liveli- 

 hood. 



Colonel Leigh did the same to his brother Sa- 

 muel, and turned him out of stable and house 

 from board, and would not pay him any thing for 

 riding races on the Prince's horses three years.
