Narrative description:
British surrender of Minorca, 5 February 1782. Court martial of Lieutenant-General James Murray on charges brought by his second-in-command, Sir William Draper. Murray was acquitted of all but 2 trivial counts. The Duc de Crillon (Louis Des Balbes de Berton de Crillon, duc de Mahon), commander of the blockading French and Spanish forces, had offered Murray a bribe, which he refused. The surrender of Minorca was due to the ravages of scurvy in the English garrison.
