continuous and general service. Boys under 18 are to
be liable to serve till 21, and when 18 or upwards to
serve for 10 years, &c. Extra pay is to b e granted to
men detained after the expiration of the period of service,
in cases of emergency. Persons entering the navy are
to be entitled to such bounty as may be fixed by royal
proclamation. The act is not to affect. the right of the
Admiralty to enter seamen for any irriods, and to dis-
charge them. Men entering for continuous and general
service and boys to be entitled to pay while in sick quar-
ters under certain regulations. Spirituous liquors are
not to be brought on board her Majesty's ships without

convey naval forces upon the same terms as the military
and police forces.
