This collection of naval court martial transcripts and related
documents from the time of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic
Wars contributes not only to our understanding of military
jurisprudence in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries
but also to our knowledge of Georgian and Regency criminal law in
general. Each chapter presents transcripts relating to different
groups of offences. Chapter one deals with procedural matters;
Chapter Two covers trails arising from transgressions of the laws
of Georgian and Regency society like drunkenness, theft, violence
and homosexuality. Chapter Three is devoted to proceedings against
types of naval offence, such a mutiny, insolence, desertion or loss
of ship. Chapter Four treats of cases involving adjudications for
multiple infractions. These transcripts are presented in their
entirety and offer a unique window to the social conditions and
behaviour aboard the King's ships at the time.
