formed Colonel Leigh had represented me to the 

 Prince to be the worst fellow living. 



And in those last October Meetings, as my son 

 was standing by me on the exercise-ground, Colo- 

 nel Leigh, the Prince's Equerry, rode, calling to 

 Mr. Christopher Wilson, one of the Stewards of 

 the Jockey Club, to give Sam Chifney his stick to 

 lick me with. Mr. Wilson was on foot, with a 

 stout stick in his hand, with another gentleman 

 on foot with him. Colonel Leigh was at me the 

 same again to a gentleman on the race-ground ; 

 and he knew I had been ill for two years, from 

 losing the use of my limbs. 



My son William knowing of those and other 

 insulting, injurious usage of Colonel Leigh to me, 

 himself, and his brother, and knowing also that I 

 could get no redress from the Prince, nor by law, 

 the boy licked Colonel Leigh. This is my son 

 William's atrocious conduct to Colonel Leigh, for 

 which Colonel Leigh is about to punish him in a 

 court of justice; while myself and family are un- 

 able to obtain redress for undeserving insults and 

 R 2 injuries.
