I understand from Mr O'Kelly that 25 Copies of the Papers alluded to were privately printed about 15 only of which were circulated for the use of our Committee & Members of the Hunt to save the Secretary time & trouble in going into an explanation with the several parties interested in the settlement of thte question.

Keppel was himself the largest contributor to our Lymington Harriers he was kept profoundly ignorant of the whole transaction of printing' . to use Coll. Keppel's words to Mr O'Kelly in his note to him of the 22d I care not what mere publicity has been given to that part of the transaction but it is the printing and publishing of a private correspondence coupled with objectionable remarks for which I still demand redress.'

ref. 25127‘Emerald Nore the 12 Decr 1795’. At the time of writing Berkeley’s newly-constructed HMS Emerald had just completed her coppering and fitting-out at Woolwich. Sailing to join Jervis’s Mediterranean fleet within less than a year she would be involved in controversy. Following the Battle of Cape St Vincent 14 February 1797 in which HMS Emerald was too lightly built to take part the victorious Jervis sent Berkeley off with a squadron of five ships in search of the disabled Spanish flagship Santisima Trinidad. On 20 February Berkeley declined to engage when he sighted her under tow. This decision was widely criticised and there were calls for Berkeley’s court-martial. Two months later on 26 April 1797 HMS Emerald was cruising with the Irresistible off the Spanish coast when they captured two enemy frigates one of which sank at sea. 1p folio.
