HC Deb 10 April 1883 vol 277 cc1968-9
MR. R. T. REID

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether the proceedings and sentence of the Court Martial on the late Commander of H.M.S. "Clyde," have been submitted to the counsel of the Admiralty; and, whether they have received the full approval of that official?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

No, Sir; the proceedings of this court martial were not submitted to the counsel to the Admiralty, as no legal point arose in connection with it which required his opinion.
