Description

John Wilson Croker. Are returning an application from Lieutenant Charles Jenkin and a statement of his bearings.

Give details of the establishment of the Barham. When Lieutenant F Blair was discharged to the Valorous, Lieutenant W I M Tollemache, who was intended to succeed him, was overborne. Lieutenant Charles Servante joined the Barham in April 1828 with a commission from the Speedwell. Suggest the appropriate payment due to Lieutenant Jenkin and ask what payment should be made to Officers appearing overborne.
