CAPTAIN PRICEsaid, that before the preceding Question was answered, he 2013 wished to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether it is the case that there are at the present moment several Officers of Marines who are entitled to retire on a pension; and, whether the Treasury has been required to make provision for pensioning these Officers during the current year; and, if so, whether he has taken into consideration the advisability of creating an immediate flow of promotion by applying the sum so provided by the Treasury in extending the privilege of retirement to other Officers, or in granting increased pensions to a limited number of Officers who may be willing to retire immediately?
