NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, AUGUST 3.
COD^RT-MARTIAL ON LIEUT. TREVENEN.

A court-martial was held this day on board the Vic-
tory, to try 'Second Lieut. Trevenen, of her Majesty's
troop-ship Vulcan, for sitting down and being asleep on
his watch, Jc c.

The Court was composed of the following officers :
President—Rear Admiral A. L. Corry. Captains—H.
D. Chads, C. 8., Excellent; Michael Quin, Ajax; Sir
Thomas Maitland, Agamemnon ; E. H. Scott, Neptune ;
William Ramsay, Hogue ; John Shepherd, Victory ;
Charles Eden, London ; Stephen G. Fremantle, Arro-
gant ; George Goldsmith, Sidon ; Rundle B. Watson,
C. 8., Imporieuse • Frederick Hutton, Prince Regent ;
George Gifra,rd, Leopard ; G. L. Greetham, Esq., de-
puty judge advocate.

- The Coucrt being opened with the usual form, the
President d.esired Commander Von Donop to state the
case.

Commander Von Donop then stated as follows :—I
am the commander of her Majesty's ship Vulcan. That
ship was at sea on the 19th of July. Lieutenant
Trevenen was the officer of the first watch that day.
The ship was running with a strong westerly breeze
under sail alone, going between eight and nine knots, and
enveloped in a fog. About nine o'clock a sail was re-
ported three points on the port bow. Lights were got
ready immediately, but she passed so close before the
light was shown over the side, that she was near on the
port quarter. Shortly after this, observing Lieutenant
Trevenen walking the quarter-deck, I said to him,
"Lieutenant Trevenen, I wish the officer of the watch
to keep his watch on the poop during this fog." About
ten o'clock I visited the deck again, and observing
Lieutenant Trevenen under the poop, I said, " Surely,
Mr. Trevenen, you must have misunderstood the wish
I expressed just now for you to keep your watch on the
poop." It was raining hard at this time. Lieut.
Trevenen replied, "I came down to look at the man
at the helm, sir." I then gave Lieutenant Trevenen
an order to keep his watch on the poop, and not to
leave it unless his presence was absolutely required
elsewhere. The reason for giving him this was, that
the Vulcan, having very high bulwarks, the best
look-out could be kept from the poop for vessels and
expected icebergs, at the height of the season, being
extremely anxious about the ship, which had then been
enveloped for three days in a dense fog, with very
slight intermission, sometimes for an hour. I visited
the deck constantly, and when off deck I sat at the door
of my cabin, which was under the poop, ready at a
moment's notice. I repeatedly cautioned Lieut. Trevenen
during the first watch, as to the great importance of
keeping a very good look-out. There were look-out
men on each bow and each gangway. Shortly before
twelve o'clock I visited the quarterdeck, where I re-
mained standing on the gratings, immediately in front
of the poop, for several moments, looking round. I
then went up to the starboard poop-ladder, and, on
reaching the poop, to my astonishment I saw Lieut.
Trevenen sitting on a small stock, about 14 inches high,
being the step to the starboard compass. Lieut. Tre-
venen was sitting on this with his body doubled up, his
face nearly reaching his knees, asleep. I said, " Good
God, Mr. Trevenen, is this possible ?" and called him
twice, or thrice, loudly by name. I was standing then
about five feet from him. He took no notice of it. I
then leant over the poop-rail, and called in a loud voice
for the quartermaster of the watch. Lieut. Trevenen
then stood up. I then said, " Lieut. Trevenen, you
have been sitting down, and you were asleep on your
watch ; go to your cabin, sir, and consider yourself
under arrest ; depend upon it you will do no more duty
in this ship." I took charge of the deck myself, and
retained charge until relieved by the officer of the
middle watch.

By the Court—Who was the man at the helm at the
time you are speaking of on that night ?—I cannot say.
When you addressed Lieut. Trevenen, after you told
him that he was sitting down asleep—what answer did
he make ?—I was not asleep, sir.
When you were looking at Lieut. Trevenen doubled
up and asleep, as you have stated, how long were you
looking at him ?—Hardly a moment.
Were there any other persons at the poop except
yourself and Lieut. Trevenen at that time ?—I cannot
say--the reelers had just been piped for, and after I had
sent Mr. Trevenen down to his cabin, I observed Mr.
Ford, the mate, heaving the log.
Do you know whether there was any person on the
poop or not when you saw Lieut. Trevenen sitting on
the step ? Certainly not that I saw. I can say there
was nobody on the starboard side of the poop.
On what service was the Vulcan employed ?-- Carry-
ing troops. There were about 800 souls on board the
ship at the time.
When you saw Lieut. Trevenen doubled up, in which
direction was his back ? His back was to the port side,
his face to the starboard side. He was sitting athwart.
When you first saw Lieutenant Trevenen sitting down
was there any one on the quarter-deck whom you could
have called to witness it ? There were about 40 seamen,
the watch on deck, and about 100 soldiers.

Shortly after nine, and before ten you gave Lieutenant
Trevenen orders. Did he dispute that order by word or
manner ?—ln the first in3ta,nce I expressed a wish for
the officer to keep a watch on the poop. Finding that
was not attended to I then gave a distinct order, which
Mr. Trevenen did not in the least dispute, but obeyed
it immediately.

Mr. Ford's evidence, mate of the watch, was not im-
portant.
Cornelius Fenn, quartermaster, was then called and
sworn.

Had you the first watch on the 19th of July last ?
—Yes.

What kind of weather was it ?—Thick, rainy weather.
How far do you suppose you could see ? - About a
quarter of a mile.
Were you called by your captain a little before twelve
o'clock to come to him ?--Yes.
Where were you when you were called to ?—Under
the poop, conning the ship.
Did you go on the poop when called by your captain ?
—Yes.

What did he say to you ?—Nothing.
A great deal of evidence was gone into, and the court
sat more than six hours.

•••••• • •./
Mr. Hoskens, the prisoner's friend, made a long and
able defence at the end of the evidence.
The court was cleared, and on re-opening,
The court considered the charge to be partly proved
against the said Lieut. Trevenen, and did adjudge him
to be severely reprimanded and admonished, and to be
more circumspect and vigilant for the future.
This trial excited considerable interest in the port.
