​HOSEASON. (Lieut., 1816. f-p., 8; h-p., 30.)

Andrew Hoseason died about the commencement of 1847.

This officer entered the Navy, 13 Oct. 1809, as A.B., on board the Strenuous gun-brig, Lieut.Commander John Nugent, employed on the Leith station. Removing, in the next Dec, to the Leda 36, Capt. Geo. Sayer, he sailed in that ship with a convoy for the East Indies, where we find him, in Aug. 1811 and June 1813 ^{[errata 1]} , assisting, as Master’s Mate, at the reduction of Java, and in a very desperate attack made upon the pirates of Sambas, in the island of Borneo. In the spring of 1816 he was for a short time transferred to the Philomel 10, Capt. Jas. Hanway Plumridge, but he then went back, in a similar capacity, to the Leda, and continued in her until confirmed by a commission dated on 30 Dec. in the same year.
