WHER
•
HEREAS at various Times fundry Orders have been iffued by
the Government of this Kingdom, relative to the Accounts of
the Regiments upon this Eſtabliſhment: And whereas it would be expe-
dient to confolidate into one general Order, fuch of thofe Orders as are
applicable to the prefent State of the Army, and the Regulations that
have lately taken Place refpecting it.
AND whereas His Majefty having been pleafed to fignify His Royal
Approbation of a Scheme which had been laid by Us before His Majelty,
for adding Two Companies to each of the Twenty-eight Battalions of
Foot upon the Eftablishment of this Kingdom, as alfo Two Serjeants at
an extra Pay of Six Pence per Diem each, and for arranging the Payment
of His Majefty's Army ferving in this Kingdom, and their feveral Al-
lowances in a Manner fimilar to that practifed in Great Britain. In Con-
fequence thereof the feveral Regiments of Dragoon-Guards, Dragoons
and Foct, were from the ft April, 1788, inclufive, placed on the Efta-
blifhment of this Kingdom, at the Numbers, Pay, and feveral Allowances
particularly mentioned in the annexed Statement.
AND whereas We have directed that the Payment of the feveral Al-
Jowances therein mentioned, be made in the following Manner, viz.
In the Regiments of Dragoon Guards.
The Allowance to the Colonel in Lieu of the Pay of Six Hautbois,
to be iffued to him Monthly along with his perfonal Subfiftence.
And in the Regiments of Dragoon Guards and Dragoons.
The Allowance to the Colonel in Lieu of the Subfiftence of One War-
rant Man per Troop, to be alfo iffued Monthly.
The Allowance for the Clothing of Twenty-four Warrant-Men, to be
iffued to the Colonel Half-Yearly.
The Allowance to the Agent of the Subfiftence of One Warrant-Man
per Troop, and the Amount of his Agency on the pay of Twenty-four

A
The Allowance to the Captains in Lieu of their Stock Purſe Dividends,
to be iffued Half Yearly.
And the Allowances to the Paymafter, Surgeon, Riding-Mafter, and
for Farriery alfo, to be iffued Half-Yearly.
In thefe Regiments, as Proviſion is made for the Payment of the Pay-
Mafter, Surgeon, Riding-Mafter, and for Farriery, and that Money will
be iffued from Time to Time for the recruiting Service, no Deductions
will be made from the Pay of the Non-Commiffioned Officers and Privates
for Stock-Purſe, Pay-Mafter, Surgeon, Riding-Mafter, and Farriery, and
therefore no Allowance in Lieu of Regimental Deductions will be given,
nor no Vacancies will be allowed.
In the Regiments of Foot.
The Allowance of 12s. 2d. net, to each of the Privates, in Lieu of the
Deductions from their Pay for Poundage, Hofpital, and Pell Fees, will
'be iffued for the Effectives Quarterly, as at prefent.
The Allowance to the Colonel in Lieu of the Subfiftence of One War-
rant Man per Company, will be iffued Monthly with the Subfiitence.
•
The Allowance for the Clothing of Forty Warrant Men, will be iſſued
to the Colonel Half-Yearly.
The Allowance to the Agent of the Subfiftence of Ten Warrant Men,
and the Amount of his Agency on the Pay of Forty Warrant Men, will
be iſſued Monthly with the Subfiftence.
The Allowance to the Captains in Lieu of their Non-Effective Divi-
.dends and Contingent Men, will be iffued Half-Yearly.
And the Allowance to the Pay-Mafter and Surgeon will alſo be iffued
Half-Yearly.
In theſe Regiments, as Proviſion is made for the Payment of the Pay-
Mafter and Surgeon, and Allowances provided for the Captains in Lieu
of their Contingent Men, no Deductions are to be made from the Pay of
the Non-Commiffioned Officers and Privates for Pay-Mafer and Surgeon,
and therefore the Allowance in Lieu of Deductions is only for the
Amount of the Deductions made from the Pay of the Private Men, for
Poundage, Hofpital, and Pell Fees, and no Contingent Men or Vacancies
are to be allowed.
And whereas the following Claufes have been inferted in the Act paffed
`laſt Seffion of Parliament in this Kingdom, for puniſhing Mutiny and
Deſertion, &c.

And as from the Mode of iffuing Monthly Subfiftence now adopted,
many Difficulties might arife if the Subfiftence iffued fhould not be
found to correſpond with the Numbers actually upon the Strength of
the Regiment during the Month for which fuch Subfiftence fhall have

only as will leave but 12 Vacancies of Horfes after the Reviews, unleſs in
Cafes of very particular Neceffity, of which a Report is firft to be made

Alfo, That all Caft Horfes from the feveral Regiments be fold in Dub-

​We are alſo pleaſed hereby to direct that the following Rules and Re-

and in every other Town for cach Field Officer and Captain Five Shillings.
per Week, and for each Subaltern and Staff Officer Three Shillings and
Six Pence per Week, which Rates and no more are to be allowed, be the
real Charges to ſuch Officers more or leſs.
That no Demand be made nor Allowance for Lodging Money paid to

(where there are Barracks) after every habitable Room therein fhall be
Occupied by an Officer in the Regiments of Cavalry, and in the Infantry
by a Field Officer or Captain, or by Two Subalterns or Staff Officers.
"
That as foon as fuch Demands fhall be fo collected in the Months of
January, April, July, and October as aforefaid. by. the Commanding
Officers of the feveral Regiments refpectively, each of them is to examine
the fame carefully, and prepare and ſign an Abſtract of the whole, which
Abftract they are to tranfmit within the Months of January, April, July,
and October, to the Commiffioners of the Barracks in Dublin, together
with the faid Demands of the refpective Officers froin whom the Officers.
are to receive Payment for their Lodgings.
And from henceforth the Officers of the Army are not to be obliged
to afcertain upon Oath their Demands upon the Accounts aforefaid, but
the Commanding Officers of the feveral Corps are reſpectively to be an.
fwerable to Government that no Demand be inferted in ther Abſtracts,
and fo certified by them, that fhall not appear to be proper and conform-
able to the Rules hereby preſcribed.
And whereas the Act of Parliament for punifing. Mutiny and Defer- -
tion, and for the better Payment of the Army and their Quarters, now
in Force in this Kingdom, has prefcribed the Manner of quartering His
Majefty's Army, and the Rates of Payment for Lodgings; in order the
more effectually to carry the faid Act into Execution, We do hereby direct,
that the following Rules and Regulations be obferved, viz.
The Quarter-Mafier General is at the Beginning of every Three Months -
to prepare and deliver in, to be laid before Us, an Eltimate of the Sums
neceflary to be advanced to each Regiment for the defraying the Expence

be neceffary to the feveral Regiments, to enable the Commanding Officers
to make the Monthly Payments, as directed by the Act of Parliament;
and the ſeveral Regiments are, as at prefent, to fend up their Quarterly
Accounts, according to the Form hereunto annexed, (which Accounts are
to be figned by the Commanding Officer at each ſeparate Quarter, and
fworn to by him before a Magiſtrate) to the Quarter-Mafter General's Office,
where they are to be examined and ſtated, and upon fuch Examination the
Money already advanced, and the Balance, on which ever Side it may lie,
whether on the Part of Government or the Regiment, will be confidered in
the following Eftimate; and the Quarter-Mafter General is to finally clofe
and ſtate the annual Account of each Regiment up to the 31ft Day of
December in each Year inclufive, as ſoon after that Day as may be, and
deliver the fame into our Chief Secretary's Office to be laid before Us,
upon which Statement Orders will be iſſued for paying into, or receiving
from the Treaſury the Balances that ſhall appear to be due either to or
from each refpective Regiment.
It is to be obſerved, that when Regiments are divided in feparate Quar-
ters, the Quarterly Returns for Lodgings and Stabling before mentioned,
are to be ſent as foon after the End of the Quarter as may be, to the
Head Quarters of the Regiments, from whence the Commanding Officer
is to tranſmit them with all poffible Expedition to the Quarter-Maſter Ge-
neral's Office; and the Regiments are further to take Notice, that until
thofe Quarterly Accounts fall be received, the Eſtimate for the Advance
neceffary for the enfuing Quarter cannot be made up.
The Accounts before mentioned are to be examined and compared by
the Quarter-Maſter General with the Monthly Returns, and the Dates of
Routes, and Lodging Money, is to be allowed only for the effective Num-
bers preſent, from the different Periods of Mens joining or leaving the
Quarters. Such as are recruiting or on permanent Command will be de-
ducted; nor is Lodging Money to be allowed for ſuch Men as belong to
Companies in Barracks, and may be brought to Head or other Quarters of
the Regiment, without the Authority of Government or of the Commander
in Chief.
When in the fame Town Part of a Regiment is in Barracks, and Part

ment is in the fame Quarter, the Commanding Officer of the Garriſon is

At the End of each Quarter, or before any Regiment, or Part of it
marches from a Town where they have been quartered on the Inhabi-
tants, the Lodging Accounts are always to be made up previous to the
March, to be figned by the Civil Magiftrate and Commanding Officer at

Officers upon the Recruiting Service belonging to Regiments upon the
Eſtabliſhment of this Kingdom, are to be allowed Lodging Money while
on that Service, when not accommodated in Barracks, in the fame Man-
ner and under the fame Rules and Regulations as other Officers.
As many Inconveniencies and Delays arife from the Regiments tranf-
mitting their Accounts and Demands for Money to the feveral Offices,
without paffing through the Medium of their refpective Regimental
Agents, whereby they are often unapprized of, and unable to folicit the
Payment of fuch Demands; We do hereby direct, that all Accounts and
Demands whatever for Money, which is to be ultimately received by the
Agent for the Ufe of the Regiment, be incloſed to him, and by him are to
be delivered to the feveral Boards or Officers refpectively; and in cafè Re-
giments fhould neglect at the ſtated and proper Periods to fend in their Ac-
counts for Lodgings, Extra Pay, &c. the Agent is immediately to write
to the Commanding Officer of fuch Regiment, to remind him of fending
up the neceffary and proper Accounts, that the whole Accounts of the
Army may not be ftopped for the Remiffneſs of any Individual, and the

ift. Every Barrack Maſter ſhall upon Notice from the Barrack Office,
or on Production of the Route by which the Troops are ordered to march,
attend the Arrival of fuch Troop or Company as fhall be ordered to
quarter in any Barrack within his Diftrict, and having with the Com-
manding Officer (or fuch Officer as he ſhall appoint) viewed the Condition
of the faid Barrack, and every Room therein, with the Bedding, Furni-
ture and Utenſils thereto belonging, fhall deliver the fame to fuch Officer
by Inventory under his Hand, ftating the particular Condition thereof,
Two Duplicates whereof are to be figned by the Commanding Officer and
returned to the Barrack Mafter, One of which he is to tranfinit to the
Secretary of the Barrack Board, within Fourteen Days at fartheft, after
the Arrival of the Troops at each Quarter, and from the Time of fuch De-
livery by Inventory, the Commanding Officer is to ftand charged with the
faid Barrack Furniture and Utenfils, until fuch Troop or Company ſhall
be relieved or ordered away; and the like Method is to be obferved by both
Officer and Barrack Mafter upon every Relief or Removal, and if upon
View and Examination it fhall be found, that after every proper Allow-
ance is made for Tear and Wear, any Damage has been wilfully done to the
Buildings or any Part thereof, or that any of the Bedding or Furniture
hath been abuſed, embezzled or deftroyed, either wilfully or by Neglect,
the Barrack Maſter ſhall then form a true Eſtimate of the Expence of mak-
ing good the Damage, which if not immediately paid, fhall be verified
by the Affidavit of the Barrack Mafter, and returned to the Commiffioners
of the Barracks, who fhall tranfmit a Copy of the faid Eftimate to the
Officer concerned, and ſhall require his Anfwer thereto within Fourteen
Days.-If faid Anfwer ſhall not be to them fatisfactory, and that upon
full Examination it ſhall appear to them, that Injury has been done (after
every proper Allowance for Tear and Wear) to the Building, Bedding
and Furnicure; the Board are to certify the Amount of the Expence, for
making good the faid Injury to the Muſter Maſter General, in order that
he may cheque the fame in the next clearing Warrants of thoſe Regi-
ments; and the Board is alfo upon the fame Day, to give Notice by

IGHT Trufty and Right Well-beloved Coufin and Councellor,
We Greet you well.
WHEREAS, upon an humble Reprefentation made unto Us, That
in the Diſtribution of the Pay of Foot Soldiers in our Ariny, it was ori
ginally intended, and hath been declared and enjoined by divers * War-
rants of our Royal Predeceffors, That the full Sum of Three Shillings
per Week, exclufive of all Stoppages whatſoever, fhould be referved
and applied to their Food, but that the Charge of various Neceffariès ab-
folutely requifite, and hitherto defrayed out of the Soldier's Pay, is fo
confiderable among our Regiments of Foot ferving at Home, that large
Stoppages are unavoidably made from that Part of their Pay which was
deftined folely for their Food, in Order to make up the Deficiency of
what had been fet apart for fuch Ufes, We were pleaſed to direct and
Order by our Warrant, dated the 4th January, 1792, "Firft, That the
"following Articles hitherto provided out of the Pay of our Foot Sol-
"diers ferving in Great Britain, Ferfey, Guernsey, or the Isle of Man,

"That towards this Sum there ſhould be firſt applied the 6d. per Week
"originally fet apart for fuch Ufe, amounting to il. 6s. per Annum, and
<<
next the Allowance commonly called Poundage, 12s. 2d. after which
"the remaining 11. 7s. 3d. would be fully compenſated by the Allowance
"of Bread, which we were gracioufly pleaſed to direct by another War-
"rant, bearing the like Date of the 4th January, 1792: And whereas
"we declared our Will and Pleaſure to be, that, for the Purpoſe of en-
"abling the Soldiers to enjoy the complete Effect of fuch our Royal
"Bounty, the Commanding Officers refpectively ſhould not ſuffer any
"Deviation whatfoever with refpect to the Species, Quantity, or Charge
"of the Articles above enumerated, but fhould ftrictly adhere to the
"Terms preſcribed by our faid Warrants, fo that the Soldiers might out
"of their Pay and Allowances be ſupplied with Food to the full Extent
"and Value of 3s. per Week, One Pound and an Half of Bread per Day
"making an invariable Part thereof; And were further pleaſed to Order
"that, as upon this Diftribution of the Soldiers Pay, and of all the Al-
"lowances therein granted or recited, there would remain an unappro-
"priated Surplus of about 42d. per Week, the fame fhould be referved
"in the firft Inftance as a Fund out of which fuch Neceffaries as fhould
"accidentally be loft or deftroyed might be replaced; after which the
"Soldiers fhould be duly accounted with for the Remainder, if any, at
"the End of every Two Months, except in Cafes of Lofs or Deſtruction,
through Negligence or Deſign, when the whole fhould be applied
"thereto."

Now, We, having taken in like Manner into our Royal Confideration
the Situation of the Foot Soldier in our Kingdom of Ireland, and the
Diftribution of his Pay, are pleaſed hereby to direct, that fimilar Regu-
lations and Allowances be extended to him; for which Purpoſe, We
have directed that the following Allowances, in Addition to his Pay,
be placed upon the Eftablishment of that Kingdom for him and his
Ufe, viz.·'
An Allowance of
14s. 2 d.
Nett per Annum for each Corporal, Drummer, Fifer, and Private Man,
to enable the Colonel, or. Commanding Officer by his Direction, to ſupply
the Effectives of each Regiment with the Articles in the faid Warrant
directed
( 3 )
directed to be furniſhed to the Foot Soldier in Great Britain without any
Expence to him.
(The Articles of a Worm, Turnfcrew, Picker and Brufh, Emery,
Brickduft and Oil, eftimated at 2s. 9d. a Year for each Man, to be if
fued out of our Stores of Ordnance, or compenfated in Money.)
A further Allowance eſtimated at 21. 5s. 7d. Net per Annum, under
the Denomination of Bread Allowance to each Corporal, Drummer,
Fifer, and Private Man, making for the Private Soldier (the Poundage
now received by him, amounting to 128. 2d. per Annum, being added
thereto) the Sum of
To which is to be added his prefent Subfift-
ence of
Making in the whole
From which deducting the Neceffaries to be
provided as before mentioned amounting
to

gl. 2s.
6d.
6d. per Annum.
12l. os.
31d. per Annum.
31. 5s. 5d.
There will remain 81. 14s. 10d.
which Sum, after applying Three Shillings per Week to his Food, will
leave an unappropriated Surplus of about 44d. per Week to be reſerved,
appropriated and accounted for in the Soldier's behalf, in like Mann
and at the fame Times as is herein before recited in Regard to our Foot
Soldiers ferving at Home on the Britiſh Eſtabliſhment.
And in Order that the Foot Serjeants of our Army may alſo receive
fimilar Benefits to thofe received by the Serjeants on the Eſtabliſhment of
Great Britain, an Allowance fhall be granted to each of 9s. per Year, alſo
under the Denomination of Bread Allowance: And we are pleaſed to di-
rect that the fame Articles be provided at the fame Prices and under the
like Regulations for our Soldiers in Ireland, as for our Soldiers in Great
Britain; and that the Whole of the Regulations herein before ſpecified be
extended to our Army ferving in this Kingdom.
And whereas, according to our Orders above recited, One Pound and
a Half of Bread per Diem (eſtimated at rod. a Week) is to make an in-
variable Part of the Food of the Soldiers in Great Britain; And whereas
it has been repreſented to Us, that the Price of Bread is very high, and
that there is an actual Scarcity of that Article in many Parts of our
Kingdom of Ireland, and it has been therefore humbly fubmitted to Us,
whether the Whole, or a certain Part of the Allowance for Bread' fhould
not in the latter Kingdom, according to Circumftances, and at the Dif

IS Excellency the Lord Lieutenant having directed the Commander
in Chief to make known to the Army in this Kingdom, That His
Majefty has been moft graciouſly pleafed by his Royal Warrant, bearing
Date the 14th Day of March, 1792, to extend His Bounty to the Foot
Soldiers of his Majefty's Army in this Kindom, in like Manner as has

fort; provided their full Pay, added to their other Allowances as fpecified
in the faid Warrant, be carefully applied for their Benefit, and expended
on fuch Articles only as are indifpenfably neceffary for their Ufe: The
Commander in Chief therefore ftrictly enjoins the Commanding Officers
of Infantry Corps to take care that His Majefty's Rules and Limitations
therein prefcribed, be inviolably obferved and adhered to; and particu-
larly to fee that complete Juftice be done to the Soldiers, and that the
Quality of the different Kinds of Neceffaries with which they are fupplied
be fuitable to the Prices which are charged for them; comformable to
the Lifts thereof inferted in the aforefaid Warrant, Copies of which Lifts.
are fubjoined hereto.

The Commander in Chief makes known His Majefty's further Pleaſure,
That every Captain, or Commanding Officer of a Company, in Addition
to that Oeconomy which it is his immediate Duty to exerciſe in the Pro-
vifion of Neceffaries for his Men, fhall keep a regular Account of all fuch
occafional Supplies, and of the Sums feverally paid for them, taking Care
that they do not exceed the fixed Prices fpecified in His Majefty's War-
This Account is to be ſettled once in every Two Months; and the
Balance that may be due to any of the Men of his Company, is to be paid
into their own Hands; on which Settlement they will fign the faid Ac-
count, both as a Voucher for their Captain, and an Acknowledgment at

The Commander in Chief requires the Commanding Officers of Re-
giments, to take all poffible Care that this Regulation be ſtrictly and in-
variably obſerved in their refpective Corps; as they themselves are to be
reſponſible for any Neglect or Deviation from it; and they are hereby
apprized, that it will make a Part of the future Inftructions to Review-
ing Generals, to pay the moft fcrupulous Attention to this important
Object; not only by carefully inſpecting both the Regimental Books
and thoſe of every diftinct Company; but alſo by perfonally examining
the Soldiers themſelves, relative to their reſpective Accounts; and to re-
port to the Commander in Chief, any Inſtances of Negligence or Irregu-
larity concerning them, which they may meet with; as well as any Ex-
cefs in the Quantity, or Deficiencies in the Quality and Goodneſs of the
Neceffaries furniſhed for the Ufe of the Men, when compared with the
Prices allowed to be charged for them. Ufelefs Ornaments and fuperflu-
ous Expence in Drefs of every Kind, being heavy Drawbacks upon their
Pay, and not fanctioned by either Regulation or Neceffity, are no longer
to be admitted; fo that the Soldiers reaping the full Benefit of his Ma-
jeſty's moft gracious Bounty towards them, and having no juſt Cauſe
whatſoever for Murmur or Complaint, may be enabled to diſcharge their
Duty on all Occafions with Alacrity, Diligence, and Contentment, and
be left without any Inducement or Excufe for Deſertion; a Crime in

with the utmoſt and moſt exemplary Severity:
The Commander in Chief further directs, That theſe Orders, together

Men in the Preſence of their reſpective Officers; and be regularly read
to the whole Regiment at the fame Time with the Articles of War, once
in every Two Months, as is directed in the Fifth Article of the Twenty-

IS Majefty having been lately pleaſed to take into His Royal Confi-
deration, the State of the Foot Soldiers ferving at Home, and to
grant them an Allowance of Bread, by his Warrant dated 4th January,
1792; and having fince been alfo moft graciously pleaſed to take into
Confideration the State of His Regiments of Cavalry, and alfo of His
ſeveral Independent Companies of Invalids in Great Britain, and to
order that the fame Allowance of Bread fhall be granted to them like-
wife.
Therefore, in Obedience to His Majefty's Commands, fignified to His
Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, there is annexed hereto a Copy of the
Warrant before mentioned: and that the Benefit of the Allowance there-
in ſpecified is to be extended to the Regiments of Dragoon Guards, and
Dragoons in this Kingdom, from the ift Inſtant inclufive, and is to be
enjoyed by them accordingly, from thence forward in the Manner and
under the Conditions expreffed in the faid Warrant. Excepting that the
Sum of 10d. per--Week, as fpecified in the faid Warrant to be laid out
in the Purchafe of Bread in Great Britain, is owing to the Scarcity of
that Article in many Parts of the Kingdom of Ireland, to be applied to
the Purchaſe of Bread, Oat-meal and Potatoes, according to Circum-
ſtances, and at the Direction of the Commanding Officer.
By Order of the Commander in Chief,

HEREAS We have been graciously pleafed to take into Our
Royal Confideration the State of the FOOT SOLDIERS of our Army
ferving at Home, and find that the Allowance which hath long been
granted to them in Aid of the Purchaſe of Bread, when in Barracks,
is very infufficient to procure them that Relief which was originally in-
tended :
OUR WILL AND PLEASURE THEREFORE IS,
and We do hereby direct and order, that from the 25th of December laſt
inclufive, the Stoppage of Five Pence every Four Days, to which they
are at preſent feverally liable for this Article, fhall be taken off, and an
Allowance made to them equal upon an Average to the whole Purchaſe
of their Bread, eftimated at Ten Pence Half-penny per Week for each
Man, and that the fame ſhall not only be granted to them while in Bar-
racks, but alſo in Quarters wherever they may be ftationed within Our
Kingdom of GREAT BRITAIN, or in the Iflands of JERSEY, GUERNSEY,
or MAN, including herein all Detachments, Recruiting Parties, and Re-
cruits belonging to Regiments of Foot, as alfo the actual Dutymen of
Our Three Regiments of FOOT GUARDS. The Allowance thus ftated
regards the Corporals, Drummers, and Privates of each Corps. Ser-
jeants of the Line, who when in Barracks have received an Allowance
eſtimated at about Nine Shillings per Year, are ftill to receive the fame,
whether in Barracks or in Quarters. Serjeants of Our Regiments of
FOOT GUARDS are alfo to have the Benefit of this Allowance.
AND FOR THESE PURPOSES, We do hereby direct, that fo much
of the Regulation hitherto fubfifting as relates to the making of Contracts
for Bread and of Stoppages from the Soldiers' Pay to be applied to the
Charge thereof, is to be confidered as totally repealed and aboliſhed from
the 25th of December laſt inclufive; but regular and exact Returns of
the actual effective Nuinbers at Quarters, or in Barracks, are to be tranf-
mitted to the reſpective Agents, as formerly; it not being Our Intention,
that Men who are abfent fhall receive the Benefit of this Allowance, un-
lefs they are really and bona fide detached upon Duty, which muſt be fe-
parately expreffed in the Returns. The Returns are to be figned by the
Commanding Officers, and given upon Honour.

Non-commiffioned Officers and Private Men, in Lieu of the preſent Al-

IGHT Trufty and Right Well-beloved Coufin and Councellor, We
Greet you well.
WHEREAS it having been moft humbly reprefented unto Us,
that various Doubts and Difficulties had ariſen with reſpect to the
Diſtribution of the Allowance of Neceffaries lately granted by Us,
to our Regiments of Foot Guards and Marching Regiments of Foot
in Great Britain, the Time when the fame fhould be delivered, and
the Proportion, if any, which fhould be given to fuch Men as are not
Effective through the whole Year: And it having been further
repreſented unto Us, that our intended Bounty therein would be made
more effectual and advantageous to the Service if the fame were diſtributed
in Money, by two equal Half Yearly Payments to Effectives, and by pro-
portionate Payments to Cafuals and Recruits, according to their Periods,
refpectively; which We, having duly confidered, were pleaſed to confent
to, and did by our Warrant, bearing Date the 5th Day of December,
1792, order and direct that the Sums fet againſt the four firft Articles
ſpecified in our Warrant of the 4th of January, 1792, amounting toge-
ther to Thirteen Shillings and Two-Pence One Halfpenny, be confidered
henceforth as forming one confolidated Allowance, the Half of which, or
Six Shillings and Seven Pence One Farthing, fhall be paid or accounted
for to each Effective Non-commiffioned Officer and Private Man, on, or
as foon as poffible after the 24th Day of June, and 24th Day of December
in each Year, and a Proportion thereof adequate to their Times of Ser-
vice fhall be paid or accounted for to Cafuals and Recruits, except only
in Regard to fuch Men as may be diſcharged, who are to receive their
Proportion at the Time of their Diſcharge.
And We did further order and direct, that the Allowance for Watch
Coats, and for divers Articles neceffary to the cleaning of Arms, which,
though they are of particular and immediate Benefit to each Soldier,
by relieving him from Stoppages to which he was before ſubject, are not
however to be confidered as Individual but as Regimental Allowances,
appropriated to thofe fpecific Purpoſes, fhall be likewife drawn for Half
Yearly, in the following Manner, viz.
The Allowance for Watch Coats at the Rate of Sixpence per Man,
reckoning for the full Eſtabliſhment of Non-commiffioned Officers and
Private Men.
And
( 12 )
•
And the actual Expenditure in Bruſhes, Turnfcrews, Worms, Bickers,
Oil, Brick-Duft, and Emery; Care being taken that the Amount ſhali
not in any Half Year exceed the Rate of One Shilling and Four Pence
One Halfpenny per Man, for each Effective Rank and File.
/
And to the end that Soldiers might enjoy the complete Effect of this
our Royal Bounty, We did alfo direct that the Commanding Officers,
refpectively, fhould not fuffer any Provifion under the Head of Neceffa-
ries, exceeding either in Quantity, Quality or Price, what is abfolutely
requifite, as they fhall anfwer the fame to Ús.
Now it having been most humbly repreſented unto Us, that the like
Doubts and Difficulties have arifen with reſpect to the Diſtribution of the
Allowance of Neceffaries lately granted by Us to our Regiments of Foot
in Ireland, which are in all Refpects the fame as thofe granted to our Regi-
ments of Foot in Great Britain; We are pleafed hereby to order and ǎi-
rect, that the before-mentioned Regulations be in every Point extended
to them, and that the before-mentioned Allowances be paid or accounted
for Half Yearly, as foon as poffible after the 3cth of September, and 31ft

Charge of various Neceffaries abfolutely requifite, and hitherto defrayed

Dragoon Guards and Dragoons, ferving within our Kingdom of Great
Britain, that large Stoppages are unavoidably made from that Part of
their Pay, which was deftined folely for their Diet, in order to make up
the Deficiency of what hath been ſet apart for fuch Ufes. We having

And to the End, that the Dragoon may enjoy the complete Effect of
this our Royal Bounty, We did declare our Will and Pleafure to be,
that the Commanding Officers refpectively, do not fuffer any Provifion
under the Head of Neceffaries, exceeding either in Quantity, Quality
or Price, what is abfolutely requifite, fo that the Dragoon fhall, out of
his Pay and Allowances, be fupplied with Food to the Amount of 38. 6d.
per Week, One Pound and an Half of Bread, per Diem, making an inva-
riable Part thereof.
And Whereas upon this Diftribution of the Dragoon's Pay, and of the
Allowances granted or recited in the before-mentioned Warrant, there
will remain an unappropriated Surplus of about Six Pence per Week.
We did declare our Will and Pleaſure to be, that the fame fhould be
reſerved in the firft Inftance as a Fund, out of which fuch Neceffaries as
might be accidentally loft or deſtroyed fhould be replaced; after which
the Dragoon fhould be duly accounted with for the Remainder, if any,
at the End of every Two Months, except in Cafes of Lofs or Deſtruction;
through Negligence or Defign, when the Whole ſhall be applied thereto;
And it being requifite that the Differences originally eſtabliſhed be-

preferved; We were, by the faid Warrant, gracioufly pleafed to grant
to the Serjeants, Corporals and Trumpeters, of our Regiments of Dra-

granted, the Allowance therein ftated of 11. 3s. per Annum, or, of the
Proportions thereof, in the fame Manner, and under the fame Condi-
tions, as therein above ſpecified.
Now We having taken in like Manner into our Royal Confideration,
the Situation of the Private Men in our Regiments of Dragoon Guards,
and Dragoons in our. Kingdom of Ireland, and the Diſtribution of his
Pay, are pleafed hereby to direct, that fimilar Regulations and Allow-

the following Allowances, in Addition to his Pay, be placed upon the

And We are alſo pleaſed hereby to direct, that in order to keep up the
original Stock of Neceffaries, the feveral Articles before-mentioned,
amounting to 51. 12s. 9 d. be provided out of the Pay of the Men, at
the fame Prices as are alſo herein before ſpecified.
That towards this Charge there be firft applied the Sum of 1s. 2d.

will be fully compenfated by the Allowance of Bread, which We have
been graciouſly pleaſed to direct by our Royal Letter, dated the 17th
Day of August, 1792.
And to the End that the Dragoon may enjoy the complete Effect of
this our Royal Bounty; our Will and Pleaſure is, that the Commanding
Officers refpectively, do not fuffer any Provifion under the Head of
Neceffaries, exceeding either in Quantity, Quality or Price, what is ab-
folutely requifite, fo that the Dragoon fhall, out of his Pay and Allow-
ances, be fupplied with Food, to the Amount of 38. 6d. per Week.
And whereas according to our Orders before recited, One Pound and
an Half of Bread, per Diem, (eftimated at rod. per Week) is to make
an invariable Part of the Food of the Soldiers in Great Britain.
And whereas it has been repreſented unto Us, that the Price of Bread
is very high, and that there is an actual Scarcity of that Article in many
Parts of our Kingdom of Ireland; and it has been therefore humbly
fubmitted to Us, whether the whole, or a certain Part of the Allowance
for Bread, fhould not in our Kingdom of Ireland, according to Circum-

Potatoes or Oatmeal; are pleafed hereby to direct, that in our faid King-

And Whereas upon this Diftribution of the Dragoon's Pay, and of the

ated Surplus of about 6d. per Week.
Our Will and Pleaſure is, that the fame be referved in the firft Inftance

Inconveniences refulting from the Practice of making up the

as it is neceffarily taken to Pieces and made up afreſh, that it
may fit the Men; and have humbly fubmitted their Opinion,
that it may be more uſeful, that the feveral Colonels fhould be at
Liberty, if they think proper, to ſend to their refpective Regi-
ments the Materials, together with the fealed Pattern which has
been approved by Our Clothing Board, and that the Clothing
ſhould be made up at the feveral Regiments, by which Means
the Trouble and Expence of re-making and altering will be faved,
and the Soldiers be better fitted; We do hereby difpenfe with
fo much of Our former Regulations as required the Clothing
to be previouſly made up, and viewed, under the Direction
of Our Clothing Board; And We do permit the Colonels, if
they think proper, to fend to their refpective Regiments the
Materials, together with the ſealed Pattern which ſhall have been
approved by the faid Board, and to cauſe the Clothing to be
made up (at their own Expence) at the Quarters of their re-
fpective Corps: And We do further direct, that a Certificate
from the Reviewing General of the Clothing being conformable
to the Pattern, fhall be allowed, as fufficient to entitle the Co-
lonels to their reſpective Off-reckonings.

the Muſters.
N the Receipt of his Liſt of Quarters, the Commiſſary is,
with as little Delay as poffible, to commence his Circuit,
which will be conſtantly varied by the ſpecial Order of the Lord
Lieutenant, or Chief Governor or Governors of this Kingdom,
and which he is on no Account to prefume to exchange, pre-
viouſly taking Care to give every Corps due and fufficient No-

to the Commanding Officer of every Regiment, Troop, or
Company within his Diftrict, to have the Mufter Rolls of the
faid refpective Corps made out, and properly figned, and cer-
tified according to the printed Form hereunto annexed.
He is afterwards to attend at the appointed Hours, and moft

One on Parchment for the Mufter Mafter General's Office,
and Two on Paper, One of which is for the Office of the
Under Secretary in the Military Department in the Chief
Secretary's Office; and the Third is to be the Call or Officer's
Return Roll:-Each of theſe Rolls is to be made out Alphabe-
tically, to be exact Tranfcripts of each other, and to be certi-
fied by the Commanding Officer on the Back, and afterwards
fworn to by the Deputy Commiffary, as directed by the Act of
Mutiny and Deſertion, and as the printed Form of a Muſter
Koll hereunto annexed particularly fets forth.
The Rolls being thus delivered to the Commiffary, he is to
proceed to the Mufter according to the Ranks of the Commiffi-
oned, Non-commiffioned Officers, and Private Men, fet forth in
the Call Roll, viewing each ſeparately as he paffes by, that he
has the proper Clothing and Accoutrements of the Regiment,
with his Fire Arms, and all Appointments belonging to the
Lame.
Every
( 53 )
Every Abfentee is to be fet down againſt his Name upon the
Face of the Roll, where abfent, and whether on Party, Duty,
Recruiting, Sick, Prifon, or any other Circumftance for his not
appearing; but the Commiffary is to proceed to call over in the
firſt Place the Names of thoſe marked prefent on the Roll, and
then to ſee that the Circumftance of fuch as are abfent be fet
down againſt each of their Names upon the Face of the Roll as
above directed.
If any want Horſes or appear on Horſes not fit for the Service,
they are to be marked accordingly.
When the Commiffary has muſtered the Regiment, Troop or
Company, he is to compare the Call Roll taken by him with the
Mufter Mafter General's Alphabetical Roll, and when the fame
is properly adjuſted, he is to fign and deliver the fame to the
Commanding Officer of each Troop or Company, taking Care
that the remaining Two Rolls are properly figned by them, ac-
cording to the printed Form hereto annexed.
He is not to make any Marks on the Parchment Roll, except
the Word Refpit, againſt the Names of thofe he does not
allow.
If any Officer under the Degree of a Colonel be abſent without.
Leave, he muft refpite him (by writing Refpit againft his Name)
and ftrike him out of the Cloſe of the Rolls.
He must not allow of any Officer, who has not a Commiffion
from his Majefty, or the Lord Lieutenant of this Kingdom or
General Governor thereof.
He must not allow any Man that is not truly Effective, and a
Duty Man in the Troop or Company.
If any Soldier mufter in a Company to which he does not be-
long, it is a falſe Mufter.
If any Man mufters in a Company where he is not duly lifted,
does Duty and receives his Subfiftence and Pay as the reft of the
Company, it is a falfe Mufter.
No Sick Man muſt be allowed above Four Months.
No very little Man, Lame Man, Young Boys, or Old Men,
(except fuch as have been in Service Twenty Years) muſt be al-
lowed, unleſs by Order of Government.
If any are defective in their Arms or Accoutrements, the
Officers are to engage they ſhall be ſupplied ard mended againſt
next Muſter, and if the Commiffary at the next Mufter finds the
Arms, &c. continue defective, he muft refpit them accord-
ingly.
If

for any Man that is Sick.
The Commiffary muſt be ſure that in every Certificate it be
faid, that ſuch a one being abfent on fuch Occafion is an Effective
Soldier, and Duty Man, in fuch a Troop or Company; and the
faid Certificate is always to be written and figned on the Back of
the Rolls by the Commanding Officer for the Muſter Maſter Ge-
neral's Office.
To render the Rolls more correct, and to obviate any Inaccu-
racies under the Head of Cafuals, which too frequently have
happened, the Commiffary is carefully to examine and compare
the Mufter Rolls with the Books directed to be kept by every
Troop and Company, from the Firſt of April laft, and he is to
certify on the Back of the Mufter Rolls, that the faid Examina-
tion has been correctly made.
As it is probable that Regiments, from their frequent Change
of Quarters, may occafionally and unexpectedly intervene during
the Courſe of the Circuit, the Commiffary in fuch Cafe is to con-
fider them as actually pertaining to it, and to mufter them ac-
cordingly, all Regiments being without Exception to be mufter-
ed by the Commiſſary in whofe Circuit they may happen to be.
The Commiffary is to require the proper Certificate of the Sick

tified Liſt of all abfent Officers, ſpecifying by whofe Leave, and

to the Act of Parliament for puniſhing Mutiny and Deſertion,
and to fuch Orders as he may receive from the Mufter Maſter
General or his Deputy.

der the Forfeiture of his Employment, and the Penalties inflicted
by the Act for puniſhing Mutiny and Deſertion.

at that Time fhall enjoy a Rank in the Army fuperior to his Officers of ſuperior

And Officers (not being General Officers) having a Rank in Officers (not being
the Army fuperior to that of the Commiffion which they bear Generals) to attend
in any Regiment or Corps, are not thereby exempted from their their Regimental
Attendance at Quarters, and doing Regimental Duty according
to their Rank in the Corps to which they belong. But with
reſpect to Regimental Duties of General Officers, it is His Ma-
jefty's Orders that all Field Officers belonging to Regiments, April 7, 1783.
who are promoted to the Rank of Major General, fhould pay
the fame Attention to their refpective Corps as before their Pro-
motion, except that they are not to do Duty in the Line as

All Regimental Duty, which is compatible with the Situation,
either of the Officer who may Command the Whole, or of a
Captain who may do Duty as a Field Officer, is to be done by
fuch reſpective Officers, according to the invariable Cuſtom î
the Army.
The Captain Lieutenants of the Cavalry and Infantry have
Rank as well in the Army, as in their reſpective Regiments as
Captains.
Officers difpofing of their Commiffions fhall receive only
legal Intereft for the Purchaſe Money of their Commiffions,
from the Date of their Succeffor's Commiffions, to the Day
upon which the Furchafe Money fhall be paid to them: All
Officers and Agents carefully to conform and pay the ſtricteſt
Obedience to this Order.
In future no Commiffioned Officer is to be appointed Quarter-
Mafter in any Regiment of Infantry; and where that Commif.
fion has been purchaſed by a Commiffioned Officer, it is to be
liberated from Purchafe as Occafions offer by the Sale of an En-
figncy; and that the proper Perfons to be recommended for
Quarter-Mafters, are active Serjeants, His Majefty not thinking
the Office very fit for Men of better Extraction, and confe-
quently very improper for a Captain. And when an Officer
who is either Quarter-Mafter or Adjutant. fucceeds to a Com-
pany, he is to give up which ever of thoſe Commiffions he en-
Joys.
To prevent Difputes concerning Priority of Rank between
Officers whofe Regimental Commiffions are dated the fame Day,
it is Ordered that the Date of the Memorial of the Command-
ing Officer of the Regiments is to decide the Seniority.
From the 18th of November 1790, the Officers of the Life
Guards holding the Commiffions of Cornet and Sub-Lieute-
nant, are entitled to the full Rank of Lieutenant in the Army.

SIR,
THE
HE Board having taken into Confide
ra on the heavy Expence attending the Seizure of private Stills;
&c. in the differents Diſtricts of this Kingdom, and the general
inefficacy of the Services, as in the Majority of thofe hitherto
performed, the Still, Head, and Worm, have not been ſeized,
but only a Part, as-the Still, or the Still and Head, or the Still
and Worm; that the Veffels in many Inſtances have not been
deſtroyed, nor the Pot-Ale ſpilled, and that, where the whole
are not taken, or deſtroyed, there remains Encouragement to the
private Diſtiller to commence again; and that there has not
been that proper and neceffary Exertion to perfect the Service:
and the Board having, through his Excellency the Lord Lieu-
tenant, communicated with the Commander in Chief, upon a
new Syſtem reſpecting the Military; and his Excellency and the
Commander in Chief having approved of the fame,-the Board
direct, that the following Regulations do take Place.

when on Foot, and is. 7 d. to each of the Cavalry when
mounted, who may be called on fuch Expeditions.

And
(92* :)
And as it is not fuppofed that the Officers always have a fuffi-
cient command of Money to fubfift the Military, and lie out of
it until their Quarterly Bills are paid,—you may advance to each
Officer what you fhall deem fufficient for Subfiftence to the
Military called out, which Sum or Sums you are to repay your-
felf out of the Amount of each Officer's Quarterly Bill, when
ordered.
And you are to inform all your Officers, that the Board com-
mand them, on Pain of their extreme Diſpleaſure, to pay the
Military the Subfiftence hereby allowed them, in Money, that
they may procure Refreshments in the Manner moft pleafing to
themſelves.
It appearing that the Revenue Officers, have frequently
taken out a greater Number of Affiftants than neceffary, and kept
them out a Number of Days together, without pofitive Infor-
mations, thereby incurring a heavy Expence to the Crown,
without an adequate Advantage:-In order therefore to pre-
vent fuch Practices in future,
The Revenue Officer taking out the Party, as à Reward for
his Services, and in lieu of all Expence for Refreſhment, Horſe-
hire, Car-hire, &c. is hereafter to be paid,

And when a Conftable is with a Party, he is to be paid the
fame Subfiftence and Bounty, as the Military.
None of the aforefaid Bounties to be paid, but for Articles
which, at the Time of Seizure, are deemed by you as fervice-
able; nor until the Revenue Officer, Sergeant or Corporal
commanding the Party, and the Conftable, make Oath before
you or other proper Officer for taking Affidavits in the Reve-
1.ue, that all the Veffels which upon diligent Search could be
found, were effectually deftroyed, and the Pot-Ale fpilled in
fuch a manner as to be irrecoverable; which Affidavit is to be
annexed to the Return of the Service and Expence, as delivered
in to you; and you are to annex your Certificate of the Articles
ïeized being ferviceable or otherwife, and of their having been
in your Prefence effectually broken up and rendered uſeleſs for
Diftilling; which Returns are to be exactly conformable to a
Specimen herewith fent you.
And
!
( 92* )
And it having been obſerved, that the Revenue Officers fre
quently demand a larger Party of the Army than neceffary, and
particularly that they take out the Cavalry mounted, at Times
when, from the Situation of the Country, they cannot be uſe-
fully employed on Horſe-back.
You are to Caution your Officers against fuch Improprieties,
and inform them, that, in any Inftance where fimilar Miſcon-
duct fhall be diſcovered, the Board will not only make them
defray the Expence, but will lay on them other Marks of their
great Difpleafure; and you are to charge them, at the fame
Time, not to quit the Military on any Account or Pretence
whatſoever, from the Moment they receive them in Charge,
until they return them back to Quarters.
And the Board having been informed, that, in many Initan-
tes, the Soldiery were defrauded by the Revenue Officers, who
(taking an Advantage of their Ignorance of the Proportion of
the different Seizures made by them,. to which they are entitled)
receive their Share along with their own, and ſeldom account
with the Military for any Part thereof.-You are to hold in
your Hands the Proportion of each Seizure to which the Mili-
tary (as Affiftants) are entitled, and pay the fame to the Com-
manding Officer of the Regiment, or Detachment, to which
the Party may belong, and to no other Perfon, giving a regu-
lar Statement of the Produce of fuch Seizure, and the Divifion
thereof with the fame; and the Board inform you, that, in
any Inftance where you depart from this Order, they will com-
pel you to pay the Military fuch Sum or Sums as may be loft to
them by your Neglect.
And you are to take efpecial Care, that all Still, &c. Services
are returned to you agreeable to the Form herewith fent you;
and that they be properly filled, before you tranfmit them to
the Board:-All which Regulations are to take Place from the
If of October next, inclufive, to which Time you are to call
upon your Officers for a Return of all Services which have
been performed prior thereto, and tranfmit them to the Board
in fourteen Days from that Day, or ſubject yourſelf to a Fine of
£1 25. 9d. which will be increafed in Proportion to the Delay;
and if the Officers omit making their Returns in proper Time,
to enable you to comply herewith, their Expence will not be
paid. And the Returns are to be made henceforward for each
Quarter ending on the 31ft Day of December, 31ft Day of
March, 30th Day of June, and 30th Day of September, in every
Year, in 14 Days after the above appointed Periods, that is to
fay-the faid Returns must be put in the Poft-Office by you, fo
as to be with the Board on the 14th January, 14th April,
14th July, and 14th October, after each preceding Quarter;
and if there is no affirmative, there must be a negative Return
or
( 92*)
-or failing therein you will incur the Penalty Before-mention-
d; and you are to inform your Officers, that if the Fault of
not making the Returns in proper Time, lies with them, the
Board will not order them the Bounties hereby appointed.
Herewith you will receive a fufficient Number of Copies of
this Order, and of the Specimen of the Return; and you are
to deliver to each Officer in your District, preventive as well
as Revenué, one of each, which he is to keep by him, both
for the government of his Conduct, and that he fhall not
have an Excufe of want of Knowledge of the Regulations or

for the Difobedience of theſe Orders.

IF any Non-Commiffioned Officer, or Soldier, fhall be dif-
charged at his own Requeft, the fame fhall be fpecified in his
Diſcharge, fuch being difqualified.
If any Non-Commiffioned Officer, or Soldier, fhall be turned
out of the Service, as an Offender, by the Judgment of a Court-
Martial, the Prefident of fuch Court-Martial is to order the
Name of fuch Non-Commiffioned Officer or Soldier, to be im-
mediately returned to the Regiſter of the Hoſpital.
All Incurables admitted from the Infirmary of the Army, are
to be reckoned in the notation of the Regiment wherein they
ferved.
That

diſcharged from the Service, and apprehends he is entitled to the
Benefit of the Hoſpital, fhall, within Six Calendar Months after
fuch Difcharge, lodge his Pretenfions with the Regiſter of the
Hofpital, otherwiſe he fhall be deemed to have forfeited the

be made for him therein; or his having, in the Interim, the ſame
Allowance from the Regiment wherein he ferved, that he would
have upon his Admiſſion to the Penſion of the ſaid Hoſpital.
As Twenty-one Days Notice, previous to any Admiffion of

Rotation, the Governors of the Hoſpital expect, that an Officer
and the Agent of every Regiment mentioned in the faid Lift,
ſhould attend on thofe Occafions, and have their Invalids ready
for a perfonal Examination, without which no one is to be ad-
mitted.
And to the End that both Officers and Soldiers may know the
neceffary Qualifications for the Benefit of the Hofpital, the Go-
vernors thereof have directed that thefe Rules, Orders, and
Regulations, being printed, fhould be delivered to the Agents,
to be by them fent to every Troop and Company of their re-
ſpective Regiments; and that Care may be taken to have the
fame upon every Mufter, read at the Head of every Troop and
Company, in the Army of Ireland.
