APPENDIX.

No. 18.

all casualties which have occurred since the last payment, either by death, marriage, removal, or disqualification. The monthly allowance to each pensioner being marked in the list, and the amount to be charged for each being for the regular periods above stated, it is presumed you can experience no difficulty in completing the total amount of the list, showing the sum to be remitted to you for the next payment; which, on approval, yon will receive directions to place in your account current, or to draw for, together with the amount of any additions which may occasionally be made by the admission of fresh objects, a list of whose names, with their allowances, will at the same time be sent you, and which you will of course include in your succeeding list, carrying the names to the account to which they respectively belong.

The allowance for the children of persons who also receive the monthly pension is 2s. per month for each child; but to these the additional or bounty month does not extend. The payment also for them is to be made but once for the whole year, viz., in January for the year to the 31st December past. The children of such pensioners need therefore be noticed in your January list only, calculating the sum at 24s.; such allowance to coutinue for each child till it has attained the age of 12 years, and likewise to children surviving their parents until past that age.

In the event of deaths occurring subsequent to the transmission of your list, the sums included therein and sent you for pensioners so deceased may be paid to their poor children, in cases where any have been resident with them; but under all other circumstances, the amount so sent to be deducted from the next ensuing list.

On the removal of pensioners from your district, you are to transmit advice thereof, together with the name of the place to which they are removed, in order that their names may be transferred to the list for the place at which they are gone to reside.

You are not to pay the pensioners residing at any distance from you, who cannot attend themselves, without a certificate of their being alive, signed by the minister and churchwardens, or otherwise respectably attested.

In paying the pensions, you will make particular inquiry in every case where you have reason to suppose, or have received any information, that the party has received any increase of property, or annual income; and when any accession of property is admitted, you are not to pay the money until they have made affidavit that the amount is under the sum prescribed by the rules.

Your particular attention is desired to all the foregoing instructions and regulations, as a strict observance thereof will tend to preserve regularity, and much facilitate the transaction of this business. Subjoined are stated, for your further information, the regulations in respect to the admissions of monthly penɛiorers, by which you will be enabled to judge whether those at present on the list continue eligible to remain on it, and likewise as to the qualification of future applicants for admission thereto. And you will take care to make report of any whom you find ineligible or disqualified, according to these rules and limitations, to receive the pensions that have been granted them from this house.

Regulations applicable to future petitioners only, viz. :--

That men be not eligible until they have attained the age of 60 years, 15 of which must have been at sea, unless they are by wounds or hurts, blindness, or any particular infirmities rendered wholly incapable of following the profession of Seamen; and that in such cases they be eligible at any age provided they have served an apprenticeship, or seven years in merchant vessels, but that no carpenter or other artificer be eligible unless he has actually been at sea 15 years, nor his widow eligible unless her husband had served that time, or died whilst he was actually following the sea. That widows be not eligible until they have attained the age of 60 years, or are disabled by blindness or other extreme infirmity.

That the children of widows under the age of 60 years be eligible for admission, under the following regulations, to a pension of 4s. per month each, but which pension shall not be granted or continued to any male child who has attained the age of 12 years, or to any female child who has attained the age of 14 years; that is to say,

The child or children of widows aged 45 years and upwards.

The children of widows aged 35 years and upwards, such widows having two or more children.
The children of widows aged 30 years and upwards, such widows having three or more children.
The children of widows having four or more children.

That in case of a male pensioner dying and leaving a widow eligible under the foregoing regulations, she be admitted a pensioner in his stead.

That a widow re-marrying be ineligible io continue a pensioner of this Corporation.

That the children of any widow re-marrying, be in like manner ineligible.

That persons admitted to the pension, and failing to apply for the same for a period of 15 months, be struck off the books.

The regulations following apply equally to those now on the books, and to future petitioners, viz.:"That the limitation of annual income rendering ineligible to come on the Trinity House pension-list, be for each class as follows, and that none be put on, or continued on the "books who either possess or succeed to an income exceeding the amounts specified, derived "from any source public or private whatever, the produce of labour always excepted, viz.:

And in order that the funds of the Corporation may be rendered exclusively applicable to the assistance of those who are not in the receipt of support from any other charitable institution or establishment; that no in-pensioner of Greenwich Hospital, or any public charity, hospital, or establishment whatever, be admitted to, or allowed to continue upon the pension list, nor any who are permanently fixed and maintained in parish work or poor-houses.

Trinity House, London.

By order of the Corporation.

APPENDIX.

No. 19.

Until the year 1818 it had been the usage to place the wives of married pensioners, being eligible under the then regulations, upon the list at the same allowance as that granted to their husbands; it then ceased, and the account shows that their number is gradually decreasing, but a vacancy does not ensue therefrom until both the husband and wife are dead.

In the years 1846 and 1847, petitioners to the number of 371, of both sexes, whose cases had been deemed urgent, were admitted to the pension list, under special orders of the Board, without interfering with the usual appropriation of vacancies, or making them on their deaths.

ACCOUNT, No. 10.-The SUм becoming disposeable through the falling in of PENSIONS in each Year of the last Ten.

Note. The number of deaths is greater than the number of vacancies, because men leaving widows who have attained the age of 60 years, are succeeded by them on the pension list, and the death is not carried to the vacancy account until that of the widow: the average of these in the above ten years was 65 per annum and independent of these, there was in the like period, an average number of 14 deaths upon the several non-succession lists.

The want of accordance which will be found on comparing the figures in the accounts Nos. 9 and 10, results from the circumstance of the varying numbers of the children of young widows who are admitted; in these cases the widow is nominally placed on the list at a rate of allowance according with the station in which her husband served at sea; and so much of the amount of disposeable vacancies is apportioned to her; but she does not actually receive any pension beyond the allowance for her children, viz., 4s. per month for each, and the vacancy so occupied does not again become disposeable until all the children have either died or attained the regulated ages, viz., boys 12 years; girls 14 years.
