Lushington to Under-Secretary of State

I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to
request you will move the Secretary of State for the Colonies to
inform them, if possible, what amount of punishment was awarded
to two men named Lyons and Shakespeare, who were convicted in
the Colonial Courts at Esquimalt in 1869, for having assisted
two men in an attempt to desert, from HMS "Satellite."
