Three of the four cases involved soldiers under command of Capt James Robertson, 42nd Regt. of Foot, who, upon return from road-building at Laurel Hill, had fired their weapons against orders. One was acquitted, but the other two received 300 and 500 lashes with cat o' nine tails for the infraction. The fourth case involved a wagoneer who defied Major Joseph Shippen's authority and was sentenced to 300 lashes.
