TEE NAVY.-SIR JAS. GRAHAM'S BILL.

A BILL to make better Provision concerning the Entry
and Service of Seamen, and otherwise to amend the

Laws concerning her Majesty's Navy.
(Note.— The words printed in Italics are proposed to be

inserted in committee.)
Whereas by an act of the session holden in the sth and
6th Will. IV., c. 24, it was enacted, that no person should
be liable to be detained against his consent in the naval
service of his Majesty for a longer period than five years,
to be computed from the day of his being entered into the
same, unless he should have voluntarily entered for a
longer term, and except as thereinafter provided, and pro-
visions are therein contained having reference to such term
of five years : And whereas by an act of the session holden
in the 10th and 11th years of her Majesty, chapter 30, it
was enacted, that every boy who, when under the age of 16
years, should enter the service of her Majesty's navy, should
be liable to be detained in the said service for any period
not exceeding seven years, to be computed from the day
of his being entered into the same : And whereas by an
order made by her Majesty in Council, on the Ist day of
April, 1853, her Majesty has been
Ap.li
edvgy and with
the advice of her Privy Council, to a nOve recommenda-
tions of the Commissioners of the dmiralty for the en-
couragement of men entering the navy for continuous and
general service, and regulations have been and may be
issued by the said Commissioners of the Admiralty offering
increased rates of pay and other advantages to men enter-
ing the navy for ten years' continuous and general ser-
vice, or re-entering for continuous and general service
for such a term as with such time as may be allowed
in respect of their previous service will make up a term
of ten years or thereabouts, and for the benefit of
boys entering her Majesty's navy : Aiid whereas it
is expedient to make provision concerning the service
of the persons who may be entitled to the benefits of the,
said regulations, and to extend theperiod of service of bops
hereafter entering the navy, and otherwise to amend the
law concerning the manning and discipline of the navy :
Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's Most Excellent
Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords
Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Par-
liament assembled, and by the authority of the same as
follows ;

I. Where, under the regulations or directions of the
Lord High Admiral, or Commissioners for executing the
office of Lord High Admiral, men willing so to enter or re-
enter into the naval service of her Majesty have already
been or may hereafter be entered or re-entered for ten
years' continuous and general service, or entered or re-
entered a for such other term of continuous and general
service as under such regulations or directions may be
authorised, such men shall be liable to serve accordingly ;
and all the provisions of the said act of the sth and 6th
Will. IV., as amended by this act, shall extend to every
such man as if the term for which he has already been or
may hereafter be so entered or re-entered were throughout
substituted for the term of five years.
11. The said act of the 10th and 11th years of her Ma-
jesty shall be repealed, and every boy hereafter entering
when under the age of 18 years into the naval service of
her Majesty shall be entered and liable to serve until he
attain the age of twenty-eight years ; and every person who
when of the age of 18 years or upwards, shall be hereafter
entered into such naval service as a boy, shall be entered
for ten years' continuous and general service from the time
of his entering, and shall be liable to serve accordingly;
and the said act of the sth and 6th years of Will. IV., as
amended by this act, shall be applicable to every such boy
as if the term for which he shall be liable to serve were
throughout substituted therein for five years ; and the
statement by any boy of his age at the time of his entering
as aforesaid shall, for the purposes of this act, be conclu-
sive evidence of his age at that time.
111. So much of the said act of the sth and 6th Will.
IV. as provides that every person detained in the service
in consequence of any special emergency after the expira-
tion of his period of service shall be entitled to receive for
such extra service one-fourth in addition to the pay of his
rating, shall be repealed ; and every such person so de-
tained shall be entitled to receive for such extra service
twopence a day in addition to the pay of his rating.
IV. The fourth section of the said act of the sth and 6th
years of Will. IV., entitling to double bounty seamen, sea-
faring men, and other persons entering the navy within
the time and in manning therein mentioned, after the
issue of any Royal proclamation calling for the services of
seafaring men, shall be repealed ; and all persons enter-
ing or re-entering the navy after the issue of any such
proclamation (whether general or restricted as herein-after
mentioned), shall be entitled to such bounty or respective
bounties according to their classes, as may be offered by,
such proclamation, with such increase, if any, as her Ma-
jesty may in the case of all or any such person think fit to
direct, in respect of their entering within such times or in
such manner as in such proclamation may be in that behalf
appointed.
V. The fifth section of the said act of the sth and 6th
Will. IV., requiring the service for a period of five years,
in case their services should be so long required, of the
seamen serving on board the fleet in case of such procla-
mation as therein mentioned, and fixing the bounty to be
paid in consideration of such service, and the sixth section
of the said act, concerning the re-entering of persons whose
period of service shall expire when any such proclamation
shall be in force, shall be repealed.
VI. Provided always, that nothing herein-before con-
tained shall affect the rights or liabilities under the said
acts of the sth and 6th Will. IV. and 10th and 11th of
her Majesty incident to or consequent upon the existing
terms of service of the persons now serving in the navy,
except such persons as may have entered under the regu-
lations for continuous and general service, or may have
become, or may hereafter become, entitled to the benefit of
such regulations.
VII. Any proclamation of her Majesty, her heirs or suc-
cessors, calling for the services of seafaring men, either
during the time of peace or war, shall, at the pleasure of
her Majesty, her heirs or successors, apply to all seafaring
men, or be restricted to any particular class or classes of
seafaring men, either according to their ages, the numbers
of their register tickets, or otherwise ; and every such re-
stricted proclamation shall be as valid and effectual in law
as any such proclamation calling for the services of all sea-
faring men, and as to the men within such class or classes
shall and may be enforced accordingly.
VIII. When any such restr clad proclamation shall have
reference to ages, it shall be incumbent on any seafaring
man claiming in respect of age not to be within such pro-
clamation to prove his age by the production of his regis-
ter ticket, or other evidence.

IX. In case her Majesty, her heirs or successors, shall by
proclamation call upon the seamen or any class or classes
of seamen serving in her Majesty's navy, or such of them
as may be required so to do, to extend the term of their
services, any seaman to whom such proclamation shall ex-
tend, and whose term of service shall have expired at the
dato of such proclamation, or may expire while such pro-
clamation shall continue in force, may be required to serve
for a period of five years from the expiration of such term,
if his services be so long required, and shall be liable to
serve accordingly, and shall for such extension of service
be entitled to such bounty as may be given by such pro-
clamation.

X. Nothing in this act contained shall cons )l or dimi-
nish the authority vested in the Lord High AA/liiiral or the
Commissioners for executing the office of 'Lord High Ad-
miral to enter or cause to be entered seamen and others
for her Majesty's navy for any period or periods:of service
for which they may volunteer, and to detain them in such
service accordingly; and nothing in this act contained
shall control or diminish the authority vested in the Lord
High Admiral or the said commissioners to discharge, as
he or they may think fit, or to authorise the discharge of
any seamen or other person 'whatever from her Majesty's
naval service.

XI. So much of the act of the 11th Geo. IV., cap. 20,
as provides that no petty officers, seamen, or marines (ex-
cept those wounded in action with the enemy) who shall
be discharged from hospitals or sick quarters at home,
either to a ship or from the service, shall be allowed wages
for more than 30 days of the time they shall remain in
such hospital or sick quarters, shall not apply to petty offi-
cers or seamen entered for continuous and general service
in the navy, or to boys entered under this act, and any
such petty officer, seaman, or boy, who may be sent to any
hospital or sick quarters at home shall be allowed his pay
for the whole time he shall remain in such hospital or sick
quarters, subject to such deduction therefrom, after the
expiration of 30 days, as the Lord High Admiral or the
Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Ad-
miral may from time to time direct, and the time such
petty officer, seaman, or boy may be in such hospital or
sick quarters shall reckon as part of his time of service ;
provided that no such deduction as aforesaid shall be made
in any case where such petty officer, seaman, or boy would
have been entitled to his full pay, under the said act.
XII. It shall not be lawful for any person to bring on
board any of her Majesty's ships or vessels any spirituous
or fermented liquor of any description without the previous
consent of the officer commanding the ship or vessel on
board of which the same may be brought ; and it shall be

of marines, with or without seamen or persons under his
command, to search any boat or vessel hovering about or

proached, any of her Majesty's ships or vessels ; and if any
spirituous or fermented liquor be found on board such boat
or vessel, to seize such spirituous or fermented liquor,
and the same shall be forfeited to her Majesty ; and if any
person shall bring any spirituous or fermented liquor on
board any of her Majesty's ships or vessels without such
previous consent as aforesaid, or shall approach or hover
about any of her Majesty's ships or vessels for the purpose
of bringing any spirituous or fermented liquor ou board
the same, without such previous consent or for the pur-
pose of giving or selling, without such previous consent,
spirituous or fermented liquor to men in her Majesty's
service, or of aiding or assisting any officer, seaman, or
marine in her Majesty's service to desert or improperly
absent himself from his ship or vessel, every such person
shall, upon a summary conviction thereof before a justice
or justices of the peace, forfeit and pay the sum of ten
pounds for every such act or offence ; and it shall be lawful
for any officer in her Majesty's service, or any such war-
rant or petty officer, or non-commissioned officer as afore-
said, or for any constable or peace officer, with or without
any warrant or other process, to apprehend or cause to be
apprehended any such offender or person so acting, and to
bring him or cause him to be brought before any justice or
justices of the peace, for the purpose of having the offender
summarily convicted of the same ; and any pecuniary for-
feiture under this provision shall and may be recovered,
with costs, and paid and applied in manner provided by
the act of the session holden in the 10th and 11th years of
her Majesty, chapter 62, concerning penalties and for-
feitures imposed by that act.
XIII. Every officer, seaman, marine, or other person
serving in her Majesty's navy who shall wilfully, or by rea-
son of imprisonment under any commitment by any civil
magistrate or other civil authority, or under any civil pro-

upwards, without leave of his commanding officer, shall
thereby, if such commanding officer so direct, lose and for-
feit all wages, pay, and other allowances (any portion al-
lotted to wife or relatives commonly called allotments only
excepted) to which he would have been entitled in respect
of his services during the period of such his absence with-
out leave ; and for the purposes of this provision any part
of a day included in the period of such absence shall be
deemed the whole day, and the wages, pay, and allowances
in respect of such day shall be forfeited accordingly : pro-
, vided always, that nothing herein contained shall be taken

to lessen or affect any liability of such officer, seaman,
marine, or other person as aforesaid, for or in respect of
desertion, or otherwise, to affect any provision, law, or
regulation applicable to deserters or persons sentenced by
ccurt-martial.

XIV. In any case of desertion of a petty officer or sea-
man, or non-commissioned officer of marines or marine,
fr)m her Majesty's navy, or from any one of her Majesty's
slips, it shall be lawful either to try the offender by court-

as to the recovery and application of such penalties, shall
be applicable to all cases of offenders imprisoned under or
by virtue of any such order as hereinbefore provided.

miralty, by persons in actual service and full pay in the
fleet or ships of war of her Majesty.

mentioned act shall have the same power for the trial and
punishment of offences committed in any of her Majesty's
dockyards or victualling yards by such persons as at the
time of the offence committed shall be in active service

if such offences had been committed upon the main sea or
in any haven within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty, and
all persons in actual service and full pay in any of the ships
of war of her Majesty, shall while within any of her Ma-
jesty's dockyards or victualling yards be subject to the
same discipline, laws, and customs as if on board such
