N: B: I thought fit to make out the
two preceedingpreceding Transcripts
(the Originals of which are to be 1312 (1312)
be found among my Papers)
as Vouchers of the Treat-
ment some of the French
Officers met with, when
brought to London; for
it is worth remarking, that
(after all the Harshness
used against them) they
were at last exchanged,
even Captain Hay not ex-
cepted, upon whom Sen-
tence of Death was pass-
ed at Carlisle.
