| Sa 11 February 1843 | It is now believed that the court-martial which it is understood is to be held on the Hon. Captain Elliott, of Her Majesty's ship Spartan, will take place at Jamaica, where, according to the last accounts the Spartan was lying waiting orders from Vice-Admiral Sir C. Adam. The Warspite, 50, Captain Lord John Hay, and the Pique, 36, Captain Hon. M. Stopford, had left Bermuda for Jamaica, and so had the Illustrious, 72, with the flag of the Vice-Admiral; but she intended to touch first at St. Thomas’s, and after to proceed to Jamaica. In the event of either the Volage, 26, Captain Sir W. Dickson, or the Talbot, 26, Captain Sir T. Thompson, being at Jamaica, there will be a sufficient number of post-captains to form a court, which will then consist of the following members:— Commodore the Hon. H.D. Byng, of the Imaum; Captains Lord John Hay, Warspite; the Hon. M. Stopford, Pique; John E. Erskine, Illustrious; and Sir W. Dickson, Volage; or Sir T. Thomson, Talbot. | ||
