The Courts-Martial in Jamaica

1 AUGUST, 1867

PD, 3rd ser., Vol. 189, cols. 598–9. Reported in The Times, 2 August, p. 7.

mr. j. stuart mill said, he wished to ask Mr. Attorney General,1 Whether he has taken into consideration the evidence produced at the trials by Court-Martial lately held in Jamaica on Ensign Cullen and Staff Assistant-Surgeon Morris;2 and whether it is his intention to institute proceedings against those Officers in the ordinary tribunals of this country? He understood Mr. Morris was now in this country.

The Attorney General: In answer, Sir, to the Question of the honourable Member, I may say, that since this Question was put on the Paper, I have, as far as possible, mastered the details of the evidence and the proceedings of those courts-martial held in Jamaica, and it is not my intention to advise Her Majesty’s Government to take any proceedings against those officers before the ordinary tribunals of this country.
