between Admiral Lord Gambier and Lord Coch-
rane, which arose upon the destruction of live hoe
of battle ships and two frigate., in the memorable
engagement of Basque Roods, between the night
of the I lth and 12th of April, leo9. The French
fleet had been long blockaded by the fleet under
Admiral Lord Gambier, and their destruction was
oltimately executed by the effective assistance of
five ships under the command of Lord Cochrane,
who was so appointed to command them by the.
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, subject to
the orders and control of Lord Gauthier. The
Learned Judge observed, that much credit and ap-
probation was allowed to be due to Lord Cochrane
and those acting under him in that gallant and nit-
ritoruus enterprise. The claim of the fleet to the
distribution generally of head-moury allowed for
this service was opposed by Lord Cochrane, set-
ting up au exclusive claim for the five ships under
his command, who were immediately engaged
with the enemy. Head-money was a reward
