§ The following Protest of the earl of Moira, as baron Hastings, was entered on the Journals:
§ "Dissentient; Because it has been established by evidence in a public Court, that lieut. gen. sir Harry Burrard was in the Field throughout the whole of the Action at Vimiera, exercising Command; and no officer has the power of disqualifying himself, or of divesting himself of the Trust reposed in him by his Sovereign. On this account I cannot agree to leave out the name of lieut. gen. sir Harry Burrard, no neglect or misconduct having been imputed to him, from the Thanks of this House to those who achieved the glorious Victory at Vimiera.
§ (Signed) HASTINCS, &C. &C."
