Landais and his first lieutenant, Degge, were both tried by a court martial held on the Alliance, November, 1780, Captain John Barry, president; both were sentenced "to be broke, cashiered, and rendered incapable of serving in the American navy thereafter." The Board of Admiralty reported to Congress, March 28, 1781, that the plans of Jones for bringing clothing and stores to America were overset by Landais' misconduct, and Jones was exonerated from all charges for the delay.
