I have only to add that the Bishop experienced greater indulgence from us
than any other French Ecclesiastick ever did, to which in my opinion he
has not made an adequate return, nor felt himself, as he ought to have
done, answerable for the conduct of his servant; and if a strict
discipline is not maintained in the Prisons as the Prisoners are daily
increasing, the consequences may be incalculable.
I am, Dear Sir,
Very faithfully yours,
RUP. GEORGE.
CAPT. MOORSOM.

_Lord Mulgrave to Lord Fitzwilliam_
ADMIRALTY,
21_st March_ 1808.
MY LORD,
On receipt of your Lordship’s letter, I made immediate enquiry at the
Transport Board into the circumstances of the case of the Bishop of
Moulins. I enclose the answer of Sir Rupert George, for your Lordship’s
information, and am sorry to find that the conduct of the Bishop of
Moulins has not been such as to justify a repetition of the indulgences
which have heretofore been extended to him. I have the honour to be, my
Lord,
Your Lordship’s
Most Humble and obedient Servant,
MULGRAVE.
_To the_ EARL FITZWILLIAM.
