Ship News From Plymouth and Scilly Islands
A series of 18th century maritime notices report ships captured or foundered including the Pease Cornelius taken to Algeziras, the Prince of Wales foundered but crew saved, and the Humility captured by the French. Other vessels such as the Caroline foundered near Scilly with crew saved, while Royal ships including the telegraph and Repulse failed to depart Plymouth with dispatches for Gibraltar due to wind and a Meisserger. The Queen Charlotte arrived off the Sound with Commodore Wuitsnen and a squadron that began weighing anchor to join off Cadiz in pursuit of allied ships.

Dowding and General Watson Assault Case Heard
A court heard Dowding and sister sue General Watson for assault, false imprisonment, and damages after a July encounter near Knightsbridge. Dowding testified he did not provoke the general, who ordered soldiers to seize him with bayonets as witnesses described a violent clash and disputed naming, while Crompton and Finlay corroborated. The judge urged scrutiny of military power in private disputes and noted soldiers’ duties to preserve peace yet require oversight.
