Award of Prize-Money to Seamen and Petty Officers for Good Shooting in Torpedo-Boat Destroyers — Revised Allowance


Admiralty Order in Council No. 107.

10 May 1905.

G.

Whereas by an Order in Council of Her late Majesty bearing date the 7th February 1888, and by Your Majesty's Order in Council of the 15th June 1901, sanction was given to the payment of money prizes to encourage good shooting with light Q.F. guns in Your Majesty's Navy :

And whereas we are of opinion that the system of awarding such prizes in Torpedo Boat Destroyers is in need of revision, in order to fully meet the present requirements of Your Majesty's Navy :

We beg leave humbly to recommend that Your Majesty may be graciously pleased by Your Order in Council to sanction the substitution of the allowance shown in the following schedule for that at present in force : —

Description of the Allowance. Amount.
Prize money for good shooting with light guns in Torpedo Boat Destroyers: —  
Petty Officers, Seamen of the Fleet. Prizes to be awarded at the discretion of the Admiralty. Capitation allowance of 1s. 3d. per head per annum on complement.

To take effect from the 1st January 1905.

The Lords Commissioners of Your Majesty's Treasury have signified their concurrence in the proposal.

G. 7202 / 1905.
