GENERAL, ORDER.

Ilorse-Guards, May 2, 1825.
His MAJESTY having been graciously pleased to approve
the accompanying Regulations for the sale and purchase of
Commissions of unattached retired full and 'half-pay Officers,
they are now promulgated to the Army ; and his Royal High-
ness the Commander-in-Chief enjoins the strictest compliance
therewith.

By command of his Royal Highness the Commander-
in-Chief,
HENRY TORRENS, Adjutant-General.

REGULATIONS FOR TIIE SALE OF RETIRED FULL-PAY

AND HALF-PAY COMMISSIONS.

April 25, 1825.
Half-pay Officers, and those on retired full pay, shall be
permitted to dispose of their commissions as unattached half-
pay commissions, in the manner and upon the terms herein-
after described.

To include the Officers actually serving in the Veteran Bat-
talions who may be considered as belonging to both lists, but
who cannot now sell • as also General Officers, who may be in
the receipt of the half-pay, only on that regimental rank on
which they retired.
That the Officers on the retired full-pay, and those serving in
Veteran Battalions, shall receive the prices for their commis-
sions, established by his Majesty's regulations in 1821.
That the Officers who were reduced to half-pay, having pur-
chased or served twenty years, and the Officers obliged to retire
upon half-pay, in consequence of wounds, or health impaired
by climate, shall also receive the same price lbr their commis-
sions.

That Officers having retired to half-pay at their own request,
not in consequence of wounds, or health impaired by climate,
although they should have purchased, shall receive only the
old price, as established by the regulation in force previous to
1421.

Lieutenant-Colonelcy £3,500 j Lieutenantcy £550

The Officers selling out shall receive the sum to which they
may be respectively entitled under these regulations, as may be
directed by the Commander-in-Chief.
And in order to avoid the possibility of communication be-
tween the parties, the purchaser will be directed simply to lodge
his money for his promotion to the higher commission, the seller
being afterwards selected by the Commander-in-Chief, from the
lists registered in his Royal Highness's Office; nor will any
other than an unconditional resignation, nor any application
which adverts to any expected vacancy, be admitted.
The surplus, if any, will, in all cases, be held at the disposal
of the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury for the
public use.
The price paid and received shall, in all cases, be that of the
Infantry commissions, as in the cases of unattached commis-
sions which have been hitherto sold, whether the individual
selling shall be on the half-pay of cavalry or infantry, and the
purchaser shall, in all cases, be placed on the half-pay of in-
fantry.
The individuals disposed to avail themselves of this arrange-
ment upon the terms specified shall make application to the
Commander-in-Chief, through the Military Secretary, when
their claims will be investigated and determined upon, and
their names will be registered accordingly.
The purchasers will be recommended to his Majesty by the
Commander-in-Chief, from the lists kept in his office.
The sales to take place under the following restrictions :
No person to be allowed to sell at either rate who has passed
the age of 60 years, or who cannot produce the certificate of the
Army Medical Board; if in a foreign colony, the certificate of
a Medical Board; or, if no Board can be assembled, of the
Senior Medical Officer, shewing that his retirement does not
result from impaired constitution, threatening earlier dis-
solution than a person of his age may expect in the common
course of nature.

No Officer to be allowed to sell, unless he shall have pur-
chased his commission, or unless lie shall have served 20 years
in the whole, if a Lieut.-Colonel, Major, or Captain.
Fifteen years if a Lieutenant.
Twelve years if an Ensign, of which, at least, one-half on
full pay, or in the discharge of active professional duties, ex-
cept he should have been placed on half-pay in consequence of
incapacity, from wounds or infirmity, not now affecting his
general health and constitution.
Those having purchased whose services do not amount to the
above periods, or who have not been placed upon half-pay on
account of incapacity, produced as above stated, to receive the
value only of the commissions they may have purchased at
either rate, according as they have been reduced, or have retired
at their own request.
Those who have taken the difference, and who may be other-
wise circumstanced as above stated, to receive the value of their
Commissions at the old rate, minus the amount of the difference
previously received by them.
Those who have been placed on half-pay in consequence of
the sentence of Courts Al artial, or of circumstances prejudicial
to their character, to be excluded from the benefit of this ar-
rangement ; or, if it be thought fit to relieve the Half-pay List
from them (as they cannot be called into service) to receive a
sum not exceeding the value of their annuity.
It is to be understood that no Officer on the Retired or Half.
pay List, who may hold a garrison situation, will be permitted
to retain it, if he should sell under this errangement.
Further, that the general arrangement shall he limited to
those actually on the Half-pay or !retired List; and the time
allowed for its operation shsll be limited to one year for officers
at home, and to one year and a half for officers residing in dis-
tant colonies or countries.

Those Officers who have purchased Half.pay Commissions,
as unattached Commissions, would, after serving on Full-pay
in the rank so purchased, be as admissible to the permission to
sell what they may have purchased as any other Officers on
Full-pay, under his Majesty's Regulations.
The purchasers of the Half-pay Commissions, above the rank
of Ensign, shall be invariably Officers on full-pay.
No Officer shall be allowed to purchase two steps on half.
pay, without having ser.,-ed in the intermediate time two years
on full-pay, it being of course understood that his general pe-
riod.of service would otherwise entitle him to the promotion.
