Public Records Office,
Master's log of the Confounder, Sub-Lieutenant John Richardson and Mr. Ralph Willoughby Cleghorn, assistant surgeon, both serving on the Confounder, were tried by court martial at Malta on March 4, 1810, on the charge of being drunk.
Ref: The Malta Historical Society, 2005.
Courts martial for men in positions of authority for swearing occurred only on the rarest of occasions. Two officers from HMS Confounder, Sub-Lieutenant John Richardson and Assistant Surgeon Ralph Willoughby Cleghorn, were tried at Malta in 1810 and dismissed from the navy. The charges against them included drunkenness along with unsuitable language. Significantly, their oaths and execrations were directed against their captain, which surely made the matter more serious than random or undirected swearing... it is almost certain that as a mere ship's surgeon, Cleghorn had scant influence with the Admiralty or among highly placed political figures.
