Whilft the Principals of the Army Medical Department adled as a Board, there was no regular eftablifhment of an office; but an allowance of one hundred Pounds per annum, and ten Shillings per diem, was given to the Infpedtor of Regimental Hofpitals to cover all contingent ex- pellees, fuch as the rent of the office, falaries of clerks, Rationary, poR- age, &c. In 1799, the year after the Board was difeontinued, and at a period when the effeftive Rrength of the Army was probably little inferior to its prefent Rate, the Office ERablilhment was, one firR Clerk, who was alio the adting Secretary, and two junior Clerks; and the total expence of the Office for Clerks, and contingencies of all kinds (exclufive of the Trea- furer’s falary and allowances), was five hundred and fifty-fix Pounds five Shilling's. O , The Office ERablilhment, in the year 1S06, is Rated to have confified of one Affiflant to the Surgeon General, and another to the Infpecfor General, who were alfo Deputy Infpedtors on full pay; one extra AffiR- ant to the Surgeon General, with the full pay of a Purveyor, but with no Office pay; one Secretary and principal Clerk, having the general fuperintendance of the Office, the correfpondence, &c.; one Clerk at- tached to the Surgeon General; one ditto employed as Accountant, both for General and Regimental Hofpitals, with extra pay for bringing up old accounts; five junior Clerks, employed as their fervices are required, in copying, &c. And the whole Office expence is Rated to have been two thoufand four hundred and twenty-three Pounds three Shillings and three Pence three Farthings. But neither of thefe Ratements exhibits a complete account of the ex- pence of the Army Medical Superintendance at the refpedtive periods. We have therefore given another Statement below, in which we have in- cluded, at thofe periods, the pay of the principal Officers, of the AffiRants, and Treafurer, and their emoluments, as well as the Clerks falaries, and the contingencies of the Office. From this Statement it appears, that the expence of the fuperintendance of the Medical Department in 1799, was £.3,415. iu. 3d. three thoufand four hundred and fifteen Pounds eleven Shillings and three f.7,448. 3*. 3y.
