This officer served as fourth Lieutenant of the Theseus 74, at the defence of St. Jean d’Acre, in 1799 ; and was afterwards presented with a gold medal, by order of the Grand Seignior. During the first seven years of the late war he successively commanded the Hunter sloop, Bacchante 20, and Daedalus frigate, on the Jamaica station, to which he was sent with intelligence of the renewal of hostilities, in May 1803.

Whilst commanding the Hunter, Captain Inglefield captured a French armed schooner and five privateers, three of which were Spanish. In the Bacchante he assisted at the capture of another privateer; intercepted a Spanish armed vessel, and took le Griffon French national brig, of 16 guns and 105 men, after an action of thirty minutes, near Cape Antonio, in the island of Cuba. The Daedalus was one of the squadron under Captain Charles Dashwood, at the capture of Samana, and of two French privateers lying in that harbour, Nov. 11, 1808.

On the 3rd Aug. 1809, Captain Inglefield’s frigate was dismasted in a hurricane, off Porto Rico; and being found quite decayed she was paid off at Sheerness, in Sept. 1810. His next appointment was, Oct. 28, 1811, to the Malta 80, in which ship, bearing the flag of his brother-in-law, Rear-Admiral Hallowell, he was employed on the Mediterranean station during the remainder of the war. He now commands the Ganges 84, flag-ship of Sir Robert Waller Otway, K.C.B. on the South American station.

Captain Inglefield married, Oct. 21, 1816, the eldest daughter of the late Vice-Admiral William Albany Otway.
