Hired armed lugger Aristocrat

The hired armed vessel ''Aristocrat'' served the Royal Navy, twice, as a lugger from 1794 to 1798, and as a brig from 1799 to 1801. She served with the Jersey-based Channel Islands flotilla under Commodore Philippe d'Auvergne, Prince of Bouillon. As a lugger she participated in two notable engagements, the second of which won for her crew the Naval General Service Medal, awarded some 50 years later. As a brig, she captured two privateers.
==HM hired armed lugger ''Aristocrat''==
On her first contract, ''Aristocrat'' served from 2 November 1794 to 9 December 1798.〔 The owner and original master of the vessel was a Mr. Henry Wilkins. She was armed with four 6-pounder and eight 4-pounder guns.〔''Naval Chronicle'', Vol. 15, pp.310-4.〕 She was of 172 tons burthen (bm), and Admiralty records later give her armament as twenty-two 4-pounder guns.〔Winfield (2008), p. 388.〕
In 1793, at the beginning of the French Revolutionary Wars, the Governor of Jersey Alexander Lindsay had opened communications between England and the Royalists. Lindsay was then transferred to Jamaica in 1794, and Commodore d'Auvergne picked up where Lindsay left off. d'Auvergne used his vessels, and particularly ''Aristocrat'' after she arrived, to support a network of spies, bring French emigres out and support insurgents by smuggling arms, ammunition and supplies across the short stretch of water to the French mainland.
There exist records in the National Archives of the number of emigres carried on board ''Aristocrat'' by d'Auvergne's order over the period 4 March 1795 to 2 September 1797. Wilkins provided the date of embarkation and the passengers' expenses.〔List of French Emigrants on board HM hired armed lugger Aristocrat and subsisted...() - Accessed 14 May 2013.〕 Wilkins and his activities were such an annoyance that the Revolutionary authorities offered a reward of 2,000 livres for his capture.〔
