Mr. Bridgeman further announced that Captain Dewar . and Commander
Daniel will be re-employed as occasion serves and that the Admiralty had quashed one of the charges against Commander Daniel.. Nevertheless the Admiralty, as was no doubt inevitable, supported in general the findings of the courts martial. The procedure of these two officers for making known their complaints was opposed to the tradition of the Service, as officers of their experience no doubt knew. At this point Mr. Bridgeman came to the most satisfactory and creditable admission that there may not be sufficient guidance in the King's Regulations for officers who wish to complain. He therefore promised a careful reconsideration of the wording of the Regulations. We recently showed how contradictory these Regulations are. Verbal improve- ment is undoubtedly possible without altering the general aim. * *
