Testimony covers Captain Williamson and officers on the Monarch and Agincourt during the October 11 action, detailing ship positions, signals, and perceived failures to engage. Witnesses discuss Agincourt's station, signals, and whether it complied with orders as Dutch rear fleet surrendered and prizes were claimed.
The seventh day opening of the Court Martial includes testimony from Captain Williamson and Master Cox of the Agincourt. The court rules that evidence must be given in open court. The master testifies to the engagement duration about an hour and twenty minutes, firing at two enemy ships, with subsequent concerns over a wounded foremast and distant maneuvers near the Monmouth as they attempted to join the van.
