“That the Lord Charlemont was at the attack of the Fort of _Montjuich_, and marched into the works at the head of his men, and was near the Prince of Hesse when he was killed; and continued doing his duty during the heat of the action. “That toward the end of the said action, a panic fear took the troops, to which the Lord Charlemont no way contributed; but the contrary, his Lordship having endeavoured, both by himself and other Officers, to put a stop to the disorder. “That when the action was over, after the Lord Charlemont had been first relieved by Brigadier Gorges, the Earl of Peterborough took his Lordship and Colonel Southwell, and presented them to the King of Spain, as Officers that had done His Majesty signal service in that action; for which they both received His Majesty’s thanks. “That by the disposition of the attack of the breach of the town of _Barcelona_, as the same is attested by the Earl of Peterborough’s secretary, the Lord Charlemont was commanded, with the First brigade, for that attack. “The General Officers do also take leave to observe to your Majesty, that it does not appear to them, that any General Officer refused rolling with the Lord Charlemont; but that they did their duty with him as before. Which is most humbly submitted to your Majesty, this 24th of March 1707-8. “(Signed) TYRAWLEY, President. Richard Ingoldsby. Thomas Farrington. Robert Ecklin. Stairs. Richard Temple.
