1 NOTE W. Dotin, the chief-gunner of James Fort, near Holetown, having been accused of
2 CONC embezzling gunpowder from the public stores, Colonel T. Alleyne applied to Mr. J. Dotin,
2 CONC the chairman of comissioners of fortifications and brother of the accused, to convene
2 CONC a board for the purpose of investigating the charges; but this application was not
2 CONC attended to. Colonel Alleyne therefore suspended the chief-gunner until he had cleared
2 CONC himself of the charges brought against him, and desired that the keys of the fort should
2 CONC be delivered up to a person whom he appointed. The chief gunner, accompained by his
2 CONC brother, hastened to the Governor, and succeeded in influencing him to write a letter to
2 CONC Colonel Alleyne, in which his Excellency denied that Colonel Alleyne possessed any
2 CONC authority to suspend the chief-gunner, and forbidding the Colonel to interfere with the
2 CONC gunners and matrosses of his division, further than to inform him of any misconduct.
2 CONC

On receipt of this letter, Colonel Alleyne hastened to the Governor's residence for
2 CONC the purpose of entering into some explanation, when the irritable temper of the Governor
2 CONC rendered matters much worse by his adding insult, which induced Colonel Alleyne to tear
2 CONC his cockade from his hat and indignantly surrendering his commission, he observed that
2 CONC he disdained to hold it under such terms. Mr Alleyne laid his complaints before the
2 CONC Assembly, who resolved an address to the Governor praying that his Excellency would
2 CONC order the Chairman to the commissioners of fortifications for St. James to convene a
2 CONC Board for investigation of the charges brought against the cheif-gunner. This produced the
2 CONC necessary investigation and Captain Dotin was fully convicted and dismissed from the
2 CONC service. (History of Barbados by Sir. R. H. Shomburgk. p. 334.)
