Description

Folios 132-133: Charles Herbert, HMS Amelia, Plymouth Sound. Their Lordships will have heard from Lord Bridport [Lord Alexander Arthur Hood (1st Viscount Bridport)] of the return of HMS Amelia into Port occasioned by a spirit of mutiny which had discovered itself in part of the crew. He had confined five men (Broghal, Power, Armstrong, Hayes and Larkin) and he sends the proof he has collected from Charles Vaughan - Quarter Master and Jeremiah Driscol - Carpenter that something wrong was plotting in the ship, the exact particulars of which they give him as the men involved were all Irish and spoke in their native tongue if people they did not trust were around. [Total of four sides, mentions:- Clarke one of the Boatswain's Mates]. The plan was to put all the Officers off the Ship.

Folios 134-135: enclosure with folios 132-133. Draft of the Legal Document for the Court Martial of Broghal, Hayes and Larkin. Signed John Perceval, 24 February 1798.
