—- Captain Thomas Baillie– Nathaniel Hone (1779) (x)

“Thomas Baillie (died 15 December 1802), was an officer of the Royal Navy. He saw service in the Seven Years’ War, rising to the rank of captain. He was later appointed to the office of Lieutenant-Governor of Greenwich Hospital, but became involved in the celebrated libel case R v Baillie after he made accusations of mismanagement in the running of the hospital. He was later appointed to the post of Clerk of the Deliveries of the Ordnance, which he held until his death in 1802.” (x)
