Sir Eliab Harvey,
NAVAL OFFICER,
Was another member of the same distinguished family, and, like the preceding, one of England's honoured naval heroes. He entered the naval service in 1771, and served under Lord Howe, Sir Hyde Parker, and Nelson. He was present under the latter at the battle of Trafalgar, where he had the command of the Téméraire, the next ship astern of the Victory, bearing Lord Nelson's flag. For his services that day he was advanced to the rank of rear-Admiral. He subsequently commanded the Tonnant under Lord St. Vincent, but a serious misunderstanding occurring between him and Lord Gambler, he was tried and dismissed the service. In spite of this, so unimpeachable was his character, he was restored and raised to the rank of Admiral and a G.C.B. in 1825. He twice represented Maldon in Parliament. He died in 1830.
