Parly Reform Sinecures

(b) Antecedently to those grounds of demand for public money
in respect of Office the possession of high office, come two or
three others which are exemplified have place to a much greater
extent: viz. 1. provision for subsistence during the possession of the office.
2. provision for equipment; viz. with the such instruments
materials and subordinate or other assisting hands as according to the
nature of the service may be necessary to the performance
of it.

The demand for money on these two accounts is
exemplified in the case of soldiers, seamen, artificers
and other labouring hands employed in any branch of the public service.
In those instances provision the demand for
the provision necessary to their purposes may exist
independently of and unaccompanied by any demand
on the score of any one of the pr three purposes mentioned
in the text.

In the case of public servants of the higher orders
the only ones here in question the demand on provision
for those two more extensively necessary purposes is, it
is evident, included in the whatever provision necessary may be
necessary for either any one of the three others.

The like may be said of the purpose of appropriate instruction
construction: viz. such appropriate instruction as a
mans continuance in the office service, or at least for some time
after his entrance, it may be necessary to administer to him
according to the nature of the service. Drilling for the instruction
of regulars, militia men or volunteers; musical instruction for
the musical bands attached to military bodies may serve for examples.
