SIR EDWARD HALES was in the King's confidence; and at the
Revolution, in 1688, he was employed to make arrangements for His
Majesty's flight to France. On the night of the 10th of December,
Sir Edward, with the quarter-master of his regiment, Edward
Syng[18], quitted Whitehall Palace with the King--proceeded in a
hackney coach to Horse-ferry, crossed the Thames in a boat, and
continued their flight in disguise to Feversham, where they went
on board of the Custom-House hoy, designing to cross the channel
to France; but they were suspected of being Popish priests, and
were apprehended on board the vessel by the country people. The
King being afterwards recognised, he was induced to return to
London; but he subsequently escaped from Rochester and proceeded to
France. Sir Edward Hales attempted to conceal himself, to escape
the fury of the populace, who were enraged against him for changing
his religion, and at the time he was apprehended at Feversham the
country people were plundering his house, killing his deer, and
wantonly destroying his property in Kent.

He was detained in custody, and afterwards confined in the Tower of
London for eighteen months; on his release he proceeded to France,
and he was at La Hogue ready to embark for England when Admiral
Russel defeated the French fleet. His eldest son served in King
James's army in Ireland, and was killed at the battle of the Boyne.

While in France, Sir Edward Hales was created by King James, EARL
OF TENTERDEN, in Kent. He died in France in 1695, and was buried in
the church of St. Sulpice in Paris.


WILLIAM BEVERIDGE.

_Appointed 31st December, 1688._

Netherlands, in one of the British regiments in the service of the
States-General of Holland; and at the Revolution, in 1688, His
Highness promoted him to the colonelcy of the FOURTEENTH Regiment
of Foot. He commanded the regiment nearly four years; and was
killed in a duel with one of his captains, on the 14th of November,
1692.
