REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF.
The sentence of the court martial being, that the prisoner
Cornet Edmond Roche should be severely reprimanded, he is to
consider himself reprimanded by me accordingly.

At the same time however, that I issue this reprimand, I must remark, that the interference of Mr. Sawell, the 3d mate of the ship Thomas Grenville, with Cornet Roche, and the gross and vulgar language used by him, both with reference to the Irish ge nerally, and to the Cornet personally (which language formed the probable ground for the subsequent proceedings), go far in extenu ation of the Cornet's misconduct.

He is to be released from arrest, and return to his duty.
