Allegation concerning the death of Butler John
The Examiner reported that the Lord Mayor of London investigated a charge that Captain Thomas Finney caused the death of Butler John by throwing him from a window during a voyage from Bengal to Europe. The charge was dismissed, and the Solicitor of the Admiralty agreed with the outcome. The available source does not provide evidence of a conviction or established wrongdoing.
