To avoid the inconvenience and delay which have sometimes occurred in the payment of Naval Half-pay by the irregular transmission of Declarations ; the Commissioned and Warrant Officers of his Majesty's Navy, residing within the United Kingdom, and receiving their Half-pay through Agents, are hereby desired to transmit their Declarations to such Agents within Ten Days at most after the expiration of each Quarter, so as to enable the Agent to receive the amount due on the Days regularly appointed for the Payment of the respective Ranks. CHARLES WOOD. ------------------------------------ Admiralty, 15th November, 1833. TO NAVAL AND MARINE OFFICERS ON HALF-PAY. The Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of tire Admiralty hereby give notice, that in future the rotation in which Half-Pay will be paid to Officers will be as follows: 1st Class.- Paymasters and Pursers - Masters - Surgeons. 2d Class.- Lieutenants and Chaplains. 3d Class.- Admirals - Captains - Commanders. It will therefore be necessary, in order to prevent delay and inconvenience to the Officers themselves, that their declarations should be delivered into the Paymaster-General's Office, or to their respective Agents, as soon as possible after the last day of every quarter. It sometimes happens that Officers apply personally for their Half-pay, without having previously sent in their declarations as required by the ii usual advertisement; any delay or inconvenience to which they might be subject by this oversight, it is in the power of tire Officers themselves to prevent, by an adherence to the existing regulations. By command of their Lordships, JOHN HARROW. MEMORANDUM. ------------------------------------ Admiralty, Feb. 10th, 1841. My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty are pleased to direct that no Mate shall be allowed Half-Pay without having been previously surveyed and reported unfit by the Inspector General, or the Officers of one of the Naval Hospitals at home. The Medical Officers are therefore to report particularly in each case the probable period at which the Invalid may be again fit for employment ; and at the expiration of such period the Mate is to report himself to their Lordships, in order that, if he should state himself to be still unable to serve, proper measures may be taken to ascertain his continued unfitness; after which, should he be declared fit for employment and still withhold his services, his Half-Pay is to be respited. Mates who may apply for the retiring pension of two shillings and sixpence a day after twenty years' actual service, will not be re-admitted after having accepted such Pension.
