Q. After the Penelope was on shore, did you find any of her crew skulking     in their hammocks below? A. I did. I took a lantern and went on the main deck observing that all the     men could not be on the deck. I went forward and looked into the mens     hammocks, where I found several men, but I do not know the names of     any of the men, it being so dark I roused them out of their hammocks     and sent them on deck about six or seven. They had their trowsers on,     it was about two hours and a half after the ship struck. Q. Do you know anything of the conduct of Walter Howell on the night the     ship struck, and five days afterwards? A. On that night at quarters, I observed the prisoner Howell to be in liquor.     I immediately reported it to the Captain, who ordered him aft on the     poop. I did not see his conduct afterwards, I was some way on the     beach picking up oars and other necessaries for the boats. Turning back,     I observed the Captain beating Walter Howell with a stick in his hand,     but was too far off to hear any language made use of but observed the     prisoner run up to the tents, and on my return to the tents, the Captain     ordered Howell to be seized and kept under the charge of the centry.     The prisoner was very often crying out for someone to run him through.     In the evening, he was released and went to his tent, and the next     morning, he was not to be found and I next saw him on board the     Perseus in irons at Quebec. Q. Do you know any thing of Joseph Cooper, the sail maker? A. I have frequently seen him drunk on shore. Q. Do you mean after he was punished? A. I do not exactly remember but I recollect he was punished with a bat.

Mr George Brown - midshipman of His Majesty's late troop ship Penelope called in and sworn.

	Q. State the circumstances to the Court of your bringing Walter Howell on     board the Perseus? A. I saw him walking in the streets of Quebec drunk about a month after     the ship was wrecked. I asked to the centry to stop him and he ran by     the first centry and the second or third stopt him. I then with the     assistance of one of the officers I met in the street, took him up and     carried him on board the Perseus as a prisoner. The enquiry being closed, Captain Galloway produced a memorandum to the     Court which was read and is hereto annexed.     The prisoner Walter Howell was called in for his defence, where he produced a paper writing which was read and is hereunto annexed.

William Humphry, seaman, belonging to His Majesty's late ship Penelope, called in and sworn.

The prisoner Walter Howell asked: Q. Did you see Captain Galloway use me ill? A. I saw Captain Galloway strike him with a stick on the back. I do not     know why he struck him. It was in the forenoon he struck him once or     twice. Q. Did you hear the Captain say "Go about your business, I will not give you     any grub." A. Yes. Q. Did you see the condition my face was in after Captain Galloway struck     me?" A. A saw after he was tied down he was then bleeding, either from his nose     or mouth, but I do not know how that was caused. The Court asked: Q. Was he drunk or sober? A. He appeared to be rather in liquor.
