Whereas it has been represented unto us, by the Wands of ,or
Cavalry Regiments in India, that a tropical Climate is extremely in-
jurious to an manufactured articles, of leather and Leon, and, cones-
qnently that the wear, and tear of saddlery and other horse ap-
pointments is much greater in the East and West Indies than in
Europe, and that the established allowance of olf-reckoninp Is
wholly inadequate to meet Ate increased mtpanse caused by such.
extraordinary decay of those articles. And whereas it has been
found, that this additional expense to a Colonel amounts on the
average to about one pound three shillings and sevenpenee half-
penny per annum for each man on service in India : oar will and ,
pleasure therefore Is, that.besides the present allowance of off-reconk- I
Inge, a further annual allowance of one pound three shillings and
sevenpence halfpenny shall be granted tQ the Colonels of our Regi-
ments of Cavalry serving in the Ease or West Indiek for each non=
commissioned officer, trumpeter, and private borne upon the Regi-
mental Establishment, with the exception of thsi.men belonging to
the recruiting troops which are stationed in Europe.
And whereas it has also been represented unto us, that our Ca:
vett" Regiments in the East Indies formerly received from the
Honourable East India Company, a Incal allowance sufficient to
defray the expense in question, but which allowance was .discon-
tinued from the .95th of June, 1815; we, thinking it both juit and
expedient that the Colonels of our said Regimenti should be tie.
lieved from the loss occasioned by the dilcontinuance of tbaisnino-
ance, are accordingly pleased to direct, that the allowance Mons-
mentioned, of one pound three shillings and sevenpence halfpennyi
fur each man per annum, shall commence from the .25th of June.
1815, inclusive. And ur so doing, this shall be, to all persons
whom it dotb or may concern, a sufficient warrant, authority, and.
Cdirection. Given, &c. this Bth day of December, i 8.3, ill the
loath year of our reign.
