MALONE—MANCHESTER—MANGIN.

served in the Channel, and on the North American and Mediterranean stations, part of the time as Midshipman, until April, 1816. He then joined the Erne 20, Capt. Rich. Spencer, also in the Mediterranean; as he afterwards did – in 1818, the Bulwark 74, flag-ship at the Nore of Sir John Gore – in the course of the same year, the Vengeur 74, bearing the flag at first of Rear-Admiral W. Otway at Leith, but afterwards commanded by Capt. Fred. Lewis Maitland in South America and the Mediterranean – in 1821, the Genoa 74, Capt. F. L. Maitland,. lying at Chatham – in 1822, as Mate (having passed his examination 21 Dec. 1819), the Jupiter 50, Capt. Geo. Augustus Westphal, under whom he escorted Lord Amherst, Governor-General of India, to Bengal – in 1823 and 1827, the Minai 26, Capt. Houston Stewart, and (as Admiralty Mate) the Hussar 46, flag-ship of Sir Chas. Ogle, both on the North American station – and, in 1830 (in the capacity last mentioned), the Royal George yacht, Capts. Geo. Mundy and Lord Adolphus FitzClarence. During his attachment to the Jupiter Mr. Mallock jumped overboard and had the good fortune to save the life of a boy, the son of the Purser, Mr. Davies. In March, 1825, he was sent with a party of seamen from the Menai, then at Halifax, to Liverpool, Nova Scotia, for the purpose of affording assistance to the Chebuctoo Colonial Government brig, which had been driven on shore during a heavy gale and bilged. After contending for three weeks with the greatest difficulties he succeeded in lifting the vessel from off the rocks and floating her between two schooners over the bar into the harbour. This service had scarcely been performed, when, another gale arising, the American schooner Billow was seen fast drifting towards the very spot on which the Chebuctoo had been bilged; but she was luckily saved from wreck by the prompt and decisive conduct of Mr. Mallock, who instantly took a cable and anchor in boats across the bar to her succour. In 1829 he was selected by Sir C. Ogle to aid in fixing the geographical position of the most prominent points in the Bay of Fundy. He was promoted from the Royal George to the rank of Lieutenant 31 Dec. 1830; and was lastly, from 8 July, 1836, until paid off in the early part of 1838, employed in the Malabar 74, Capt. Sir Wm. Augustus Montagu, off Lisbon.

He married, in 1838, Edith Stiles Paterson, daughter of the late D. Goddard, Esq., and grand-niece of the late Arthur Mills Raymond, Esq., of Norfolk Street, Park Lane, London, and of the Manor House, Ealing, co. Middlesex, by whom he has issue four children. Agents – Messrs. Halford and Co.



MALONE. (Lieut., 1809. f-p., 39; h-p., 8.)

Edmund Malone was born in 1786, in co. Westmeath.

This officer entered the Navy, in Sept. 1800, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Prince 98, Capt. Sam. Sutton, bearing the flag in the Channel of Sir Chas. Cotton, under whom he continued to serve, in the capacity of Midshipman, until May, 1801. Proceeding in 1803 to the East Indies in the Albion 74, Capt. John Ferrier, he there in succession removed to the Russell 74, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Wm. O’Brien Drury, Arrogant 74, Capt. Wm. Flint, and Ceylon of 40 guns, Capts. Wm. Jones Lye and Chas. Gordon – in which latter ship he was confirmed a Lieutenant 18 Sept. 1809. In May, 1803, we find him assisting at the capture, by the Albion and other vessels, of the French frigate La Franchise of 36 guns; and, in 1808, witnessing, as Mate of the Russell, the surrender of the Danish settlement of Tranquebar. He was also, when in the Ceylon, present, 18 Sept. 1810, in a fierce intermittent night-action of four hours, which terminated in the capture of that frigate (after she had incurred a loss, out of 295 men, of 10 killed and 31 wounded) by the French ships Vénus of 44 guns and 380 men, and Victor of 16 guns. The Ceylon being, however, retaken in the course of the same day, Mr. Malone was aflibrded an opportunity of officiating as her First-Lieutenant at the ensuing reduction of the Mauritius. He invalided home in Feb. 1811; and was next appointed, on the Home station – 24 July following, to the Colossus 74, Capt. Thos. Alexander, in the boats of which ship he was frequently employed under the enemy’s batteries on the coast of France in operations against their trade – 30 May, 1814, to the Teazer 14, Capt. Thos. Prickett – 3 May, 1815, to the Queen Charlotte 100, Capt. Chas. Inglis – and 9 Oct. 1815, to the Vengeur 74, Capt. Thos. Alexander. On leaving the ship last mentioned Mr. Malone obtained an appointment, 2 March, 1818, to the Royal Naval College at Portsmouth, where he remained for a period of 19 years. He has been attached, since 8 March, 1842, to the Royal Hospital at Plymouth.

His son, Robt. Edmund Malone, is at present acting as Purser and Paymaster of the Stromboli steam-sloop.
