Court martial papers

The file comprises papers presenting the case, evidence, charges and minutes in the court martial, in 1813, of Capt. John Davies of the Western Regiment of Denbighshire Local Militia, for disrespectful behaviour to Col. John Wynne Griffith, including verbal insult, social exclusion, and physical assault. Davies was supported by several of his fellow officers, including Capt. Samuel Holden and Lord Kirkwall, who were therefore also liable to prosecution.

Griffith, John Wynne, 1763-1834
