RETRENCHMENT.
C\TRACT 01 A TREASURY MINUTE. DATED IMO, 10.
REDUCTION AND ALT:AATION IN THE ESTA-

BLISLI at ENT.

My Lords, in calling upon the bends of the other departments
of his Majesty% civil government to :titer upon a tevision of
their respective establishments, with a view to such economical
reductions WI may fulfil the intentions of his Majesty, expressed
in his answers to the addles es of bolt !louses of Pailiam.m,
think it right to state the principle.: upon which they have pro •
ceeded, and the course they have fidloweel in the r.vision of the
establishment of the Treasury tinder their immediate direction.
They have thought that they should best carry into execution
the intentions expressed in the addresses of Parliament, by keep-
ing in view the following general rules:-
Ist. That every office was to be restored to the situation in re.
spear to the number of persons eniployed, and of their rapective
emoluments, in which it stood in 1707, unless some adequate
came continued to exist which rendered some alteration neces-
sary in future, and that the mode of regulation which seems in
all re.-pests most eligible. is to ix etsi ye, that individuals
themselves who may hereafter enjoy the benefit of atiperamitta-
tion allowances, bliotihl be called non to tottailnite to a slip r-
ant:tuition fund, to be administered tinder the direction tn. their
Lordship:, and aceoiding to the full using regulations, viz.
Ist. All persons holding ofliets, tile sataries nr pecuniary emo-
luments of which, after tevision, nottioin together to 1001. at
year, or upwards, and who are entitled to sopentnnuation tinder
the act 30 Geo. 111., c. 117, to contribute 3 per c.. 0. of such
salaries or emoluments to • fund to be called tt The General So-
petanntiation Fund," (My !ends will have mulct further consi-
deration what directions shall ke given with respect to office% not
amounting to 1001. a year.)
2 I. My lords are of opinion. that in addition to the above rely,
whedi may be cunsidcued as a fair contribution to be 'required
from the individuals who may be entitled to supenumnation nailer
the act of the 30111 George II i. c. t 17. in aid of the charge in-
curred by the public in respect thereof, a further contribution
may justly be required hunt those who are in possesaion of tom.
loments which have been increased since 179 q, and which arc
greater than it is intended hereafter permanently to attach to
their respective situation,. They therefore think that persona
bokling offices, the salaries of which are hereafter to be reduced,
should be called upon to pay an additional contribution of two
and a half per cent. upon all eftiees exceeding 1001. a year, and
