Royal warrant dated St. James's [to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland]
to insert on the list of French pensioners on the Establishment of
Ireland the name of Moses Caries with 3s. a day pension as from
Sept. 29 last, he having been Capt. of a Company in the late Foot
Regiment of Col. Charles Dubourgay, and being by sickness and
other infirmities contracted in the service rendered unable to repair
to his post in Spain, whereupon the late Queen granted him a pension
of 3s. a day on the Establishment of Ireland in lieu of his Company,
but the said Queen's warrant for that purpose to the Marquess of
Wharton, then Lieutenant General of Ireland, being by mistake countersigned by Robert Walpole, then Secretary at War, whereby said Caries
could never obtain any benefit of the said pension, whereby he has
been there 4½ years in a starving condition, being now bedridden
and almost blind. Out Letters (Ireland) IX, p. 622. |
