Lord FALNIERNTON said, that he felt anxious to Say a few
words, to explain the no:illations adopts' respecting hulf.psy
nHdcems ho'aling civil appointantilits. the government stoot
pledge .1 to make an alteration in the oath taken by half-pay
officers, ar.d the Treaatry would, with the fair undtrstauding of
the llome, make an arrangement to give effect to this measure.
'they wet e to give had pay oiticers, hohling civil appointmeate, a
military allowacee equal to and iu lieu of tsar half pay. and for
such allowance no oath was required respecting civil offices. At
present the half pay oeicets swore that they held no office civil ur
military, dte.t the alteration proposed we that 'hey held no mi.
lit:try Ake, except colonial offices, which were now allowed,
which exceeded three times the rate of half pay. .As it had been
suggested that it was a hardship to take such an oath, in crows
where the other emolument* bare' exceeded three times the
pay, the following arrangement was to be adopted :—The huff
pay was calcultu.al at the highest rate which it could possibly be,
and this was to be considered 1-4th of the income which a half
pay oticer could have. But if his halt' pay woe really less than
this se m, lie was to be allowed to exceed the 3 times his half pay,
so far as to make up this deficiency.

first three years, the espence was only between 3 or 400,taaq
anti that porticos of that sum were paid by the East India Con:
p..ay. 'foe Amendment for the Adjournment was then agreed to.
