Pelsaert decided to conduct a trial on the islands, because ''Sardam'' on the return voyage to Batavia would have been overcrowded with both survivors and prisoners. After a brief trial, the worst offenders were taken to [[List of islands in the Houtman Abrolhos|Seal Island]] and executed. Cornelisz and several of his henchmen had both hands chopped off before being hanged.{{Sfn|Kimberly|1897|p=10}}

Loos and a cabin boy, Jan Pelgrom de Bye, who were considered only minor offenders, were marooned on [[mainland Australia]], and were never heard of again. This made them the first Europeans to have permanently lived on the Australian continent.{{Sfn|Leavesley|2003}} This location is now thought to be Wittecarra Creek near [[Kalbarri]], Western Australia, though another suggestion is nearby [[Port Gregory]].{{sfn|Godard|1993|pp=186–187}}

The rest of Cornelisz' henchmen were taken to Batavia for trial. Five were hanged, while several others were flogged, [[keelhauled]] or [[Yard_(sailing)#The_yardarm's_use_in_maritime_punishment|dropped from the yardarm]] on the later voyage back home.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=http://museum.wa.gov.au/research/research-areas/maritime-archaeology/batavia-cape-inscription/batavia|title=Batavia's History|website=Western Australian Museum|language=en|access-date=2019-01-22}}</ref> Cornelisz' second in command, Jacop Pietersz, was [[Breaking wheel|broken on the wheel]], the most severe punishment available at the time. Jacobsz, despite being tortured, did not confess to his part in plotting the mutiny and escaped execution due to lack of evidence. What finally became of him is unknown; he might have died in prison in Batavia. A board of inquiry decided that Pelsaert had exercised a lack of authority and was therefore partly responsible for what had happened. His financial assets were seized, and he died within a year of disease. His journals on the matter would be published in 1647 and widely read, spreading knowledge of the dangers of the coast of Western Australia.<ref name="Barbarism"></ref>

Hayes was hailed a hero and promoted to [[sergeant]], which increased his salary, while those who had been under his command were promoted to the rank of [[corporal]].<ref name=":1" /> Of the original 332&nbsp;people on board ''Batavia'', only&nbsp;122 made it to the port of Batavia.{{Sfn|Ariese|2012|p=5}} ''Sardam'' eventually sailed home with most of the treasure previously carried on ''Batavia''. Of the twelve treasure chests that were originally on board, ten were recovered and taken aboard ''Sardam''.{{Sfn|Leavesley|2003}}
