After which the half-pay and retired-pay will be payable on the first and third Wednesday in every month, excepting during the general payment.
Officers residing in or near London, and wishing to receive their half-pay or retired-pay in person, are requested to deliver their declarations or certificates into the Wages-office at the Admiralty, Somerset-place, or transmit them to the Secretary of the Admiralty, immediately on the expiration of each quarter; and those employing agents are also requested to furnish their agents with their declarations or certificates with the same dispatch, for unless such documents are delivered into this Office early, delay in the payment must unavoidably ensue.
As it sometimes happens that Officers apply personally for their half-pay or retired-pay, without having previously sent in their declarations or certificates as required by the usual advertisement, any delay or inconvenience to which they might be subject by this oversight, it is in the power of the Officers themselves to prevent, by an adherence to the existing regulations.
Under the authority of the Statutes relating to the pay of the Navy, besides the above-mentioned modes, Officers may receive their half-pay or retired-pay in any of the following ways, viz.
which case they are to give notice thereof, by letter, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, marked, in the corner, "Half-pay, or Retired-pay, Accountant-General," and thereupon the proper form of a bill of exchange
will be sent to them.remittance-bill, payable to them at or in the neighbourhood of their residence, by the Collector
of Customs or Excise.at a Dock-yard, where there is an
establishment of Pay Clerks.In either of which two latter cases, they must give a like notice to the Secretary of the Admiralty, marked in the same manner, and a remittance bill, or extract, will thereupon be made out and transmitted to them.
In all cases, the Officer signifying his desire of payment is to state at the foot of his letter, his Christian and surnames, his rank, and a full description of his residence.
MEM.—Bills of exchange drawn under or by virtue of the Act of 11 Geo. 4, cap. 20, are not liable to the stamp duty.
No persons residing out of His Majesty's dominions are entitled to the privileges of this Act.
