Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a presentation of the collected evidence and transcripts from the prosecution of Captain Thomas Baillie. Baillie, a veteran of the Royal Navy, was serving as Lieutenant-Governor of the Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich when he published a critical pamphlet about the administration of the hospital. The pamphlet, entitled The Case and Memorial of the Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich, accused the directors of the hospital of corruption, mismanagement, and misappropriation of funds. Baillie's allegations sparked a public outcry and led to a parliamentary investigation. The book includes the full text of the pamphlet, as well as the transcripts of the trial, the evidence presented by both sides, and the verdict of the court. It provides a fascinating insight into the inner workings of a major British institution in the 18th century and sheds light on the challenges faced by those who sought to expose corruption and mismanagement.
