Note on Husband: Richard LABBETT (2)

Mutinous Conduct on the HMS Lord Clyde. 1866

 

Newspapers reported that the crew were unhappy – both with Captain Dew and particularly with the lack of shore leave granted. On 10 Sep a court-martial was held on a seaman named Marshall on a charge of striking a ship’s corporal; he was found guilty; sentenced to be flogged – 48 lashes – and then imprisoned for one year. This resulted in ‘disturbances’; when the morning watch was ordered to wash decks, they refused and holystones (block of sandstone used to scrub the decks) were thrown at the door of the Captain’s cabin.

 

The Port Admiral then came onboard to address the ships company and assure them that any grievances would be heard; shore leave was granted. Two men were subsequently arrested; one sentenced to 21 days detention and in November several Petty Officers were dis-rated and others transferred to other ships, because they had refused to pick out the ringleaders of the disturbances. Also noted that the Royal Marines detachment had not been involved in the mutinous behaviour.

 

Newspapers also reported that a letter had been sent to the Lords of the Admiralty complaining of the regime onboard Lord Clyde; it was stated that the letter was dismissed as it was evidently written by “insolent harpies” who ran a grog-shop.

 

On his record, in common with several other seamen who served on her, Richard had the note added " This man, having been concerned in the mutinous disturbance on board the 'Lord Clyde', 12th Sept 1866, is ineligible for good conduct medal".
