Papers respecting Major Bradley’s Case, 1814 - 1837
Scope and Contents
Major Thomas Bradley attempted to assume command of the garrison in Honduras on 22 May 1820 and was placed under arrest by Arthur. In 1837, Bradley presented a petition to Parliament charging him with having ‘not only usurped military power, but with having exercised that power in an inhuman and revolting manner’ in the punishment of Gunner Ingram. These files relate to the accusation and Arthur's defence.
