Acquittal of Vice Admiral Lestock in 1746 Naval Trial
The court martial at Depford on June 3 1746 acquitted Vice-Admiral Lestock of all charges. The lengthy verdict found his division regularly formed, noted signals and line of battle were observed, and argued that Night sailing and pursuit actions did not breach duty. The panel, led by Rear Admiral Mayne, concluded the information was frivolous and unfounded.
