Strona 30 - ... in these cases alone, the commander of the said ship of war may detain them, and having detained them, he is to bring them, as soon as possible, for judgment before that of the two mixed Commissions appointed by the...
Strona 64 - Burgos on the one hand, and from Madrid on the other, the Officers lost all command over their men. Irregularities and outrages of all descriptions were committed with impunity ; and losses have been sustained which ought never to have occurred. Yet the necessity for retreat existing, none was ever made...
