It appears by the evidence of the Steward, that he has on some occasions received 'premiums on the appointment of Clerks, to the amount of about one .year's salary, and that he is in the practice are ceiving presents of wine and other articles from Contrattorg. The Steward's First Clerk also re ceives fees froth ebntradors, for mak:ng out their bills .for articles supplied to Hospital. Al-.- though the amount of these presents- and fees is stated to be trifling, we think they are highly- ob jeaionable. It must have been the object of the Diredors, in requiring the Contradors to make out bills previously to their receiving payment for their goods, to establish a check upon the iecouets kept .by the Officers of the Hospital ; and this pre caution is entirely defeated, if sect bills are made out by the Clerks, from the, Hospital. books : we therefore recommend that this pradice be discen tinued, and that the Chit OfiicerS and Clerks be strialy prohibited from receiving any fee or gratui ty of any kind whatever. The Chatter by which the Commissioners and Governors of the Hospital are incorporated, posi tively requires, that " all Offieers employed in the Hospital shall be seafaring men, or such who have lost their -limbs, or been otherwise di s abt e d in the sea ser v i ce ." From a list oldie Officers and other persons now belonging to the Hospital, who have not been employed in the sea service, it ap pears that this rule has been departed from in many instances, It may perhaps be impraaieable to comply with this tegrilatiosi in all eases, but-we think, that, with the exception of very few instances; persons ade quate to the situations might have been seleded . from that class which the Charter has declared to be solely eligible for such appointMents. ' The Secretary-to the Hospital, and his Assistants, have not been seafaring Men. Their plates 'night be easily filled by persons either in the Military or civil line of naval service. These situations have, hdwever, been - frequently given to persons in the Admiralty Office ; and the preseor Secretary, end his First. Assistant, are Clerks in that office. The'plade of Barber, which is, in a great aim - sure, a sinecure, might be held, by a seafaring roan i the duty is adually 'performed by some of the Pen sioners: the present & her is neither a seafaring man, nor by - birth a British ,subject. The'sum be receives, after paying his Assistants, appears to be about one hundred and thirty-twOpounds. He has also apartments-in the Hospital. . We cannot omit noticing, that neither of the Chaplains of the Hospital have been at sea. A tie viation from the rule is peculiarly improper in this case, considering tht very few situations to 'which the meritorious class_ of Navy Chaplains can - looks forward as a retirement when incapable of attend-- ing to the More alive chilies of their profession. After the observations which we have made on • this subjed, it seems - hardly' necessary for us to re commend, that the Charter should, in all pradicable • cases, besstridly adhered to. It would yress 'hard on individuals, who may have been induced to en ter into' the Hospital with the prosped ofsuecession to the highest stations in their respeaive depart ments, to be , precluded from promotion ; but we think that in futnie no - landnan . Should be appointed to any,situation in Greenwith Hospital, unless, after notice of the vacancy. shall have' been given in the public Papers for at least a month, no person in the sea service, duly qualified, and furnished with proper . testimonials of. his charader, should apply 'for the appointment. • _ The places of First Clerk to the Steward, and First Mate to the BUtler, are held by the same person. The duties to be. performed in these offices are compatible, as the office of the ono is intended to be a ch'eck on that of the other, and therefore,ou g ht not to be allott e d to th e same 'person. We had, in the course of our inquiries, occasion h' to : Observe, that the present. bye-laws and regula tions, for the government of the Hospital, were, in some instances, wholly: riegleded; and, in others, no longer adequate to the purposes for which they were intended. These,- we believe, were drawn up in the year. 1776, and 'have not been since . i:evised. We, therefore, recommend a revision of the bye-laws and regulations, and that a digest be made .of such as. arc proper to be retained, together with the ge neral orders which have since been issued; and that a new code be thence .formed, suited to the present circumstances of the. Hospital.. This measure is rendered more immediately necessary, from what is stated by the present Secretary, that in the time of his predecessor, copies of the Minutes of the Board were not regularly furnished to the Officers, whose conduit they Were intended to regulate. There are two Livings belonging to the liospit the vicarage, or perpetual curacy of Alston . , and t: e reaory of Simonkrn. To the former, the Con, mis - siuners and Governors of the Hospital prese!lt tvvo out of three turns ; the two next presenta tions .are in the ,Hospital.
