With Napoleon at St Helena by John Stokoe (Paperback) Book
Fonthill
Nearing the end of his career as a ship surgeon, he agreed in 1817 to take a three year posting to St Helena. Stokoe set out for St Helena on HMS Conqueror in 1817. At St Helena there was discord following the Governor, Lieutenant-General Sir Hudson Lowe\u2019s controversial decision to dismiss Napoleon\u2019s doctor, Barry O\u2019Mara. About this time, Napoleon asked that Mr Stokoe, who had once attended him and who he understood was returning to St Helena, might attend him again \u2018or would the Governor authorise some other English doctor to come, providing he sign similar conditions as had been accepted by Stokoe in the past.\u2019 Immediately after, Mr Stokoe arrived at St Helena, was put under arrest and tried on varying counts\u2014seven in all. The whole was found proven. The third indictment read, \u2018That he had signed a paper purporting to be a bulletin of General Bonaparte\u2019s health, and divulged the same to the General and his attendants contrary to orders,\u2019.
