JOHN PRICKETT, Esq.
[Commander.]
Was made a lieutenant in April, 1794; and served as third of the Blanche 32, Captain Robert Faulknor, at the capture of la Pique French frigate, between Guadaloupe and Dominica, Jan. 6th, 1795[1]. From this period we find no mention of him until 1811, when he was appointed first of the Warrior 74, Captain George Byng (afterwards Viscount Torrington), fitting out at Chatham, for the North Sea station. He obtained the rank of commander on the 12th Aug. 1812; and died early in the year 1823.
