KEW CARD INTERPRETATION

Hi Pals

I’m researching someone who has the following reference in his Royal Navy file from Kew:

“Rh5396/25/4/11 recovered from desertion. Tried by C P for theft. Not to be claimed for further service.”

What is CP? Would I be able to get more details of the desertion and the theft? If so how and where from?

Zack :(

CP = Civil Power i.e. he was tried through the normal civil courts, not the naval system.
