Wall was an officer in the British Army and Lieutenant Governor of Goree an island used to control the mouth of the River Gambia. In 1782 he was approached by Armstrong and others about their unpaid salaries. Deciding this was mutinous and without holding a court-martial Wall ordered Armstrong and two others to be flogged eight hundred times with a knotted rope. The three men died later from their injuries. Wall was initially charged but the charges were dropped when the ship carrying the witnesses was believed lost. However the witnesses appeared in 1784. Wall was arrested but he managed to escape to the continent where he married and lived for several years. Later believing many or all of the witnesses were dead he wrote to the Home Secretary Thomas Pelham and surrendered himself for trial. He was tried for murder and found guilty. Despite efforts made by a relative of his wife's to obtain a pardon it was deemed unwise to spare the life of an officer condemned for brutality.

Only edition. Fremont was an American explorer and politician with a long and somewhat controversial career. He had been appointed military governor of California by Commander Stockton near the end of the Mexican-American War but was unable to discharge his duties fully. Stockton and General Stephen W. Kearney argued over who should succeed Fremont as governor. Fremont sided with Stockton but Washington sided with Kearney. As revenge Kearney arrested and court-martialed Fremont on charges of mutiny and insubordination. He was found guilty of disobedience and conduct prejudicial to order and resigned his commission. The sentence of dishonorable discharge was commuted by President Polk. Fremont went on to become a US Senator for California and was a Republican presidential candidate in 1856.
