Murder Trial At Sea For Captain Fletcher

In the High Court at Admiralty Hall a jury acquitted Captain Fletcher of the murder of Cochran aboard a Liverpool bound vessel. Janet Boyd testified against Fletcher, but evidence and cross examination suggested a motive linked to pay disputes. Witness Mason tied Boyd and Merry to plotting to accuse Fletcher to recover wages, leading to the verdict of innocence for Fletcher.
