PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—A court-martial was
held this day, on board the Victory, in Por:smouth
Harbour. R ear-Admiral H. Prescott, C. 8., president,
with the following officers, composed the court :—Cap-
tain 11. D. Chads, of tho Excellent ; Captain C. B.
Martin, C 8., of the Victory • Captain E. H. Scott, of
the Neptune ; Captain W. H. Henderson, of the Blen-
heim, and Captain L. T. Jones, of the Sampson ; M.
Greatham, Eeq., Judge-Advccate—to try Mr. G. E. S.
P: Serocold, the second lieutenant of the steam-frigate
Retribution, for having, on the 17th of June last, ne-
glected his duty, and behaved disrespectfißly to his se-
nior officer, Mr. George Ommanney Willes, the first
lieutenant of the Retribution. It appeared that Lieu-
tenant Serocold was the officer of the watch on that day,
and was talking to the surgeon of the ship on the
quarter-deck, when the first lieutenant, Mr. Willes,
called to him, and desired him to attend to his duty, when
Mr. Serocold replied, and said he would not be spoken to
in such an impertinent way. From this slight occurrence
the court.martial arose. As there was a refusal to make
any acknowledgment, the first lieutenant had no other
resource than a court-martial. The case for the arose--
cution was closed about one o'clock, when ebe court
allowed Mr. Serocold two hours to prepare his defence,
which having been read, the court found the charge
proved, and sentenced Lieutenant Serocold to be dis-
missed the Retribution, and to lose one yeses rank as
a lieutenant in her Majesty's service.
