§ SIR JOHN HAYsaid, he rose to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether it is true that three young Naval Officers have been tried by Court Martial at Jamaica for insubordination, and have been sentenced, in addition to other punishment, to a long imprisonment in the common gaol at Kingston, Jamaica; and whether the Admiralty have confirmed that portion of the sentence?
§ LORD CLARENCE PAGET,in reply, said, the Court Martial had awarded the punishment referred to in the Question of the hon. and gallant Member; but the Officer commanding in chief on the station had ordered those young Officers to be sent home to be dealt with by the Home authorities.
