THE VICTORIA COURT-MARTIAL.
London, July 25. Captain G. Noel, of the Temeraire, said that Admiral Tryon’s manoeuvres were frequently obscure but never dangerous. He thought that the Camperdown and the Victoria ought to have used their screws when it was seen that a collision was likely to happen. Ho signalled to the Victoria to repeat the signal, believin' that the evolution ordered was impossible. He hoped to the last that Admiral Markham would disobey the order. Most of the other captains in the fleet concurred that the manoeuvre would bo dangerous unless the Victoria intended to circle outside the Camperdown. The captain of the Phaeton said that Admiral Tryon had made a similar mistake before. July 27. The case for the prosecution before the Victoria Court-martial has closed.
