The Court was composed of Captain George T. Gordon, C.B., Her Majesty’s ship Hannibal, and commanding Steam Reserve, president; Captains R. Harris, Britannia; R.S. Hewlett, C.B., Excellent; H. Caldwell, C.B., Mersey; T. Wilson, St. Vincent; and E. Heathcote, Doris. Mr. Hillier officiated as Deputy-Judge Advocate. After hearing the evidence adduced by the prosecution as against Mr. Moss, the second master, and Stephen Gruett, ordinary seaman, and the evidence brought forward by the said Mr. Moss and Stephen Gruett in their defence, the Court, after the most careful deliberation, severally acquitted the prisoners of the charge brought against them. The Court then proceeded with the trial of Lieutenant John Binney Scott, the commander of the Jaseur, on the same charge. The result was that Lieutenant Scott was acquitted. The master and gunner were recommended to the Admiralty for their conduct after the wreck. | ||
