This officer entered the Navy, 17 March, 1811, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Conquestador 74, Capt. Lord Wm. Stuart, attached to the Flushing and Channel fleets. From Nov. 1814, to Oct. 1820, he served as Midshipman and Master’s Mate in the Favourite 26, Capts. Hon. Jas. Ashley Maude and Hercules Robinson, on the East India, St. Helena, South American, and Newfoundland stations. While next employed in the Egeria 26, Capt. John Toup Nicolas, he was promoted, 13 Dec. 1821, to a Lieutenancy in the Grasshopper 18, Capt. David Buchan. Joining, 24 Dec. 1825, the North Star 26, Capt. Septimus Arabin, he co-operated, until advanced to the rank of Commander, 11 Feb. 1829, in the suppression of the slave-trade on the coast of Africa, where, in the course of 1827, we find him distinguishing himself, while in charge of the ship’s pinnace, at the capture of a Spanish brig pierced for 18 guns. Capt. Boultbee, whose next appointment was to the command, 24 May, 1838, of the Jaseur sloop, on the Mediterranean station, there served until elevated to the rank he now holds, 23 Nov. 1841. He has since been on half-pay.
