Treasury warrant to William Pulteney, Secretary at War, to prepare a royal warrant to authorise Robert Walpole, Paymaster General of the Forces, to pay 1,259l. in manner as follows in full of all demands of Officers and men for charges and expenses as follows: to wit for two months’ full pay to half pay Officers that were ordered to
Portsmouth. |
|
Prefixing: report by said Pulteney to the Treasury Lords on the petition of Capt. Pocock and Col. Jones, ut supra, p. 239. I find by the books of my Office that the Half Pay Officers who were ordered to repair to North Britain were allowed full pay upon their arrival there by order of the Lords Justices. I am therefore of opinion that in regard the Half Pay Officers ordered to Portsmouth with the two
Battalions formed out of Invalid Pensioners from Chelsea Hospital were at great charges and expenses for diet, lodging and other necessaries in their journey to and from that Garrison as well as during the time they did duty there they may be allowed two months'
full pay for that service, which comes to 1,554l. for 60 days for two
Colonels at 1l. 4s. a day each; two Lieut. Colonels at 17s. a day each; two Majors at 15s. a day each; 17 Captains at 10s. a day each; 25 Lieutenants at 4s. 8d. a day each; 21 Ensigns at 3s. 8d. a day each; two Adjutants at 4s. a day each; two Quarter Masters at 4s. a day each; two Chaplains at 6s. 8d. a day each; two Surgeons at 4s. a day each; two [surgeons'] mates at 2s. 6d. a day each. From this total of 1,554l. the Half Pay of 777l. is to be deducted, thus leaving 777l. to be paid. And also if your Lordships shall think fit that 7d. a day be added to each serjeant and 3d. to each corporal and drummer and 1d. a day to each private man (over and above the subsistence of 5d. a day allowed by the Hospital) as an allowance for brandy, tobacco and other necessaries it will amount to 482l. for 69 Serjeants, 69 Corporals, 46 drummers and 1,100 private men. This sum of 482l. will make, with the abovesaid 777l., a total sum of 1,259l. Ibid. XXII, pp. 405–6. |
|
Same to same for a like royal warrant for payment of 117l. 8s. 6d. to make up two months’ full pay to Half Pay Officers that did duty at Greenwich. |
|
Prefixing: report, ut supra, on the petition of Major Charles Otway and the Officers of two Companies who went with the first Detachment drafted to Greenwich from the Royal Hospital near Chelsea, ut supra, p. 239. During the time they did duty at Greenwich they were at very great expenses for diet, lodging and other necessaries through the excessive dearness of lodging and provision occasioned by the great concourse of people continuously at that place. The additional Half Pay (to make up full pay) would be 78l. 15s. 10d. for one Major, two Captains, two Lieutenants and two Ensigns and the additional subsistence as above would be 38l. 12s. 0d. for four
Serjeants, four Corporals, four drummers and 100 private men:
making together 117l. 8s. 6d. Ibid., pp. 406–7. |
