On the roth inftant died, in the 75th year 
of his age, at his feat in Buckinghambhire, 
after a fevere illnefs of five months, occafioned 
by a fall, Sir Hugh Pallifer, Bart. Admiral of 
the White, Mafter and Governor of Green- 
wich Hofpital, Governor of Scarborough 
Caftle, and one of the elder brethren of the’ 
Trinity-houfe. 
He had early diftinguifhed himfelf in-the 
naval fervice, and, about forty years fince, in 
a defperate ation in the Mediterranean, with 
a frigate of fuperior force, received a fevere 
wound in the leg, which, baffling all the fkill 
of the faculty, fubjeéted him ever after to 
ceafelefs torture, and eventually occafioned 
his death. Notwithftanding this wound he 
proceeded in the high career of nautical fame 
till the lamentable 27th of July 1788, when 
Admiral Keppel and Vice Admiral Sir Hugh 
Pallifer preferred counter charges of accufation 
again{t each other, for their conduét on-that 
day: the intrepidity of the latter on this oc~ 
cafion was allowed even by his enemies; but 
the merits were foon converted into a queftion 
of party violence, in which the profeffional 
reputation of thofe officers (though both were 
acquitted,) was indifcriminately wrecked ! 
Soon after this, his Majefty, on the death of 
Admiral Sir Charles Hardy, appointed Sir 
Hugh to the Government of Greenwich Hof= 
pital, when refigning his feat in Parliament, 
he retired from all public concerns, except 
the duties of his Government, which were 
always ably and unremittingly difcharged. 
Sir Hugh was a fteady friend to the King 
and Conftitution—was a man of undaunted 
courage, and poflefied a great fhare of nautical 
knowledge—and the wife and falutary laws 
which he caufed to be enaéted for the benefit 
of his country, and the comfort and happinefs 
of the poor fifhermen in Newfoundland during 
his government of that province, are proofs of 
a found mind, and a humane and benevolent 
difpofition. 
Sir Hugh entered into the fervice very early 
in life. He was made a Captain in 1746, and 
in 1762 Governor of Newfoundland—In 
1765 he concluded a peace with the Indians, 
upon the back fettlements of Canada—In 
1770 he was made a RearfAdmiral, and in 
the fame year one of the Elder Brethren of 
the Trinity—In 1771 he was appointed a 
Comptroller of the Navy—In 1773 created a 
Baronet—and in 1775 he was choien a Mem- 
ber of Parliament for Scarborough—In 1776 
he was made one of the Lords of the Admiral- 
ty—and in 1778 a Vice Admiral, Lieutenant 
General of Marines, and Governor of Scar- 
borough Caftle—In 1780 he was agpointed 
Mafter and. Governor of Greenwich Hofpital 
—In 1781 he was chofen to reprefent the 
borough of Huntingdon in Parliament; and in 
1787 he attained the rank of Admiral of the 
White.
