Years: 1811 - 1811
William Bligh had arrived on October 25, 1810, in London, where he had successfully defended his actions, but he had not been restored to his governorship.
The following year, the trial's presiding officers had sentenced Johnston to be cashiered, a form of disgraceful dismissal that entailed surrendering his commission in the Royal Marines without compensation. (This is a comparatively mild punishment that enables Johnston to return, a free man, to New South Wales, where he can continue to enjoy the benefits of his accumulated private wealth.)
Bligh had received a backdated promotion to Rear Admiral soon after Johnston's trial had concluded.
He will be subjected to court martial twice again during his career.
