	Admiralty Jurisdiction - LoveToKnow 1911
		The criminal jurisdiction of the admiralty was first exercised by the High Court of Admiralty; and then, by virtue of the Offences at Sea Act 1536, transferred to commissioners appointed under the great seal, among whom were to be the admiral or admirals, his or their deputies.
		Admiralty criminal jurisdiction is now, by virtue of the series of statutes, the Offences at Sea Act 1799, the Central Criminal Court Act 1834, Offences at Sea Act 1844, and the criminal law consolidation acts passed in 1861, exercised by the Central Criminal Court and by the ordinary courts of assize.
		Admiralty has jurisdiction in cases of spoliation and piracy, Maritime cases in Holland are tried by the ordinary civil tribunals, with the same right of appeal.

		My Lord: —I was in hopes I should not have had occasion to trouble Your Lordship with any public letters, while I have the honor to command on the continent; but the lawless and piratical people of Rhode Island obliges me to write to you.
		My Lord, as to the Government (if it deserves that name), it is a downright democracy; the Governor is a mere nominal one, and therefore a cipher, without power or authority; entirely controlled by the populace, elected annually, as all other magistrates and officers whatsoever.
		My Lord, the commissioners did not enter upon counter evidence, though I, myself, was inclined to do it, as we proceeded; and bring the witnesses face to face, considering the commission required we should report all the circumstances attending the affair.

	History of Pembroke Dockyard
		Lord Nelson is about to enter our story and, as we shall see, his influence upon it was often based more on emotion, his own and others', rather than on practical considerations.
		The Admiralty, with the same aim in view, may have seen in Milford an opportunity to establish, perhaps as a pilot scheme, a brand new model dockyard under imported expert management, free of the hidebound traditions, stultifying conservatism and legendary corruption of the established Royal Dockyards.
		As the Board of Admiralty and the Navy Board had by this time a fairly well established illegal dockyard with five ships building and knew that the Navy was about to suffer draconian cuts, some of their members must have felt some trepidation when this Order was submitted.

		The ancient title of Lord High Admiral, now held by The Queen since 1964, is the last of the naval titles to remain principally an office rather than a rank.
		The office was usually in commission from the seventeenth century onwards, and the Lords, or Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, were responsible for the running of the navy.
		There has never been any insignia used to distinguish the Lord High Admiral, as the office was almost always in commission after the introduction of rank insignia.
