My Lords, in calling upon the Heads of the other
Departments of his Alaje•ty's Civil Government t'
enter upon a revision of their respective Establith-
ments, with a view' to such Economical Redactions'
as may fulfil the intentires 01 his Majesty, expressed
in his Answers to the Addresses of bud' (looses of Par-
liament, think it right to state the principles upon
which they have proceeded, and the coar,e they have
followed in the revision of the Estal,iislinient of the
Treasury under their immediate direction.
They hay.: thought that they shoold Lea carry
into execution the intentions expressed in the Ad-
dresses of Parliament, by keeping in view the fortuw.
log general Roles, viz.
That every office was to be restored to the sitea-
:ion in respect to the number of persons employed,
and of their respective euellninents, in which itstued
in 1797, unless some alequate catr.e continued to
exist which rendered some alteration necessary in fu-
ture, and that the mode of regulation which seems
in all respects most eligible, is, to require that the in-
dividuals themselves who may hereafter enjoy the
benefit of superannuation allowances, should be called
upon to contribute to a superannuation fund, to be
administered under the direction of their Lord.

cent. of such salaries or einolinainiti, to a fund to be called
" The General Superannuation .Fund."—(llly Lords will have
under further consideration what directions shall be given with
respect to offices not amounting to .4:100 a-year.)
d. Aly Lords are of opinion, that in addition to the above
rate, which may be considered as a fair contribution to be re-
quired Isom the individuals who ntay be chatted to superan-
nuation under the Act of the :omit lien. 111. c. 117, in aid of
the charge incurred by the Public its respect thereof, A further
contribution may justly be refpiired from those who are in pos.
session of emoluments which have been increased since 1797,
and which ate greater titan it is intended hereafter permanently
to attach to their respective situations. They therefore think
that persons holding offices, the salaries of which are hereafter
to be reduced, should be called upon to pay at. additional COTh
tribution of two and a half per cent. upon all offices exceeding
I:100 a-year, and not exceeding £5OO. Five per cent. from

servanti of the Public who racy contribute to this Fund, at no
time to exceed ten per cent. of the aggregate amount of the sala-
ries and pecuniary emoluments of all the Officers so contributing.

such contributors to be assigned upon this Fund, and the other
half to be paid by the Public, and to be charged to the contin-
gent Fund of the Department to which the contributor belonged
prior to his superannuation.
6th. No superannuation to be granted to any such contribu-
tor, except by the Treasury, • and by that Board only, at four
periods to be fixed in each year (except in cases of immediate
urgency), when a Special Boa, d or Boards shall be held for the
purpose of considering all applications r.:c..tved in the preceding
Quarter; notice of which Ilirtid shall be ;;iven to the tired, of
the Departments recommending such applications, from each of
which some pre:per Officer shall, it' relaireel, attend to answer
all such questions as the Board of Treat.'ui y tray put, in order to
enable them to decide upon the fitness, or relative urgency of
each application ; and to distribute the disposable amount of the
Fund, or so much of it, as may be requisite, in such manner as,
upon an examination of all the cases before then:, may appear
most conducive to justice and the public interest.

ments of all the said offices, the new super:animations to be
granted in any one year shall not exceed one-hall of the saving
arising from such of those allowances as may have lapsed in the
preceding year, until the whole suits so granted shall be re-
duced to ten per cent. or under that amount, in conformity
to the fourth article.
My Lords are further of opinion, that it will be
proper to propose to Parliament to repeal the several
rates of allowance enacted by • the 501.11 George 111.

' spective allowances to be calculated upon the salary
. and pecuniary emoluments of the office, as charged
to the payment nia.le to the Contribution Fund ; and
in no case to exceed the net sum received by the
Officer after the deduction of such payment.
. My Lords are aware, that notwithstanding the ex-
treme importance of adhering to this scale as much
as possible, there may arise special cases which it
•, would be difficult to forewe or enumerate, with re•
spect to which some departure hum this scale may
: become indispensable, and that authority to provide
I accordingly would be re.,erved to ti.eir Lordships;
they are of opinion, however, that it should be enacted,
that in all such instances the cases should be laid be-
fore Parliament, together with a report of the cir-
iicumstances Lich have led their Lteddrips to make
I the exception.
