J. W. M. Hall, Master, R.N.—Had served six years
on the coast, and bad assisted in capturing 18 slave-
vessels. Always overhauled prisoners whose baggage
contained as much provisions as they could cram into
their bags. Slavers often beg to go ashore in their own
boats.

Captain Sir T. Maitland (a member of the Court) I
stated, that when the Ferret arrived at Plymouth from
the coast he found her very clean and in general good
order; the crew efficient in gunnery, and in the use. of
small arms ' • and so reported to the Commander-in-
Chief, who, he believed, forwarded the same to the Ad-
miralty.
Nearly all the witnesses were asked if they should
consider themselves ill-treated if put into a boat under
similar circumstances to those of the slavers, and all
answered in the negative.
The Court was then cleared, and remained closed for
more than two hours, when it was again opened and the
Judge-Advocate read the following
SENTENCE:-
That the charge has been only in part proved against
the prisoner, Commander George Sprigg, and the Court
doth in consequence adjudge the said Commander
George Sprigg to be reprimanded and admonished to be
more circumspect in his future conduct, and the said
Commander George Sprigg is hereby reprimanded and
admonished accordingly.
The Court then broke up.
