Submit for courts favorable consi deration, five memorials from officers of the Bengal army, praying that, for the reasons stated, the court will re. call their orders of 6th June 1798, requiring from an officer, about to re. tire on pension, a declaration on oath, that he had not received, and would not receive any pecuniary or other gratification or compensation for so retiring. Government consider, that the practice which has for some time obtained, although now for the first time brought to n tice, of indu reply to that part of his memorial which indicates cing time-expired officers, under the a wish for line promotion rank of Lieutenant Clouel, to retire in certain cases below the from the service, must conduce to rank of major, that we the contentment of the officers, and cannot conten plate the to the efficiency of the army possiblity of sanctioning any measure which would infringe upon, the integrity of ezimental ri e; and, in reply to the remainder of his memorial, that we see no necessity for interfering with the arrangements which the junior officers, of a regiment may mka in individual cases, for adding to the comforts of a senior officer, on his retirement from the service upon the pension to which he may be entitled.

3. The Regulation of 1798, requiring officers upon retirement to make oath, that they have received no pecuniary consideration for quitting the service, has not been enforced by us in any single Case of retirement in England, during the period nearly forty years which has since elapsed. It was established chiefly upon financial grounds, to prevent (as observed by Lord Cornwallis, when recommending other rules for the same object)" au unrea. sonable load of pensions This presumed necessity for the rule has however not yet been fel; on the contrary, additional facilities have been required and have been given, for enabling officers to retire upon full pay: "we shall therefore continue to suspend the operation of the rule, and officers retiring from time to time will not be called upon to make the declaration, uuless the financial necessity to which we have referred (and of which due notice shall be given) shall at a future period be fully realized."
