Description

Folios 310-311: James Montagu, HMS Montagu, Spithead. Reports that his ship has been left without large numbers of men by orders from Vice Admiral Lord Hood. Encloses a copy of the order, and the state and condition report for his ship. Also reports that Mr Orton, Second Lieutenant, has been charged with theft on shore, but refuses to attend his trial. He cannot possibly clear his name, so Captain Montagu requests appointment of a replacement.
