§ MR. ANDERSONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty, If he has yet issued the promised Order to put a stop to buying out officers in the Marine Corps; and, if so, if he will state the nature of it?
§ MR. HUNT, in reply, said, that officers of Marines were to make a declaration, on their honour, that they had not received any pecuniary inducement to retire. A declaration of a similar character was required on promotion, transfer, and retirement on half-pay.
