To the above deduction add deduction for increasing the

In Kings Ships
captors are susceptible
of promiton and all
the promotable Officers
look up to it as
part of their reward

In the case of the Kings ship, in addition to their respective shares in the whole of the proceeds persons of all the several
descriptions classes whose rank in tje service renders them
capable of prodmotion have promotion, up to the
summit of ambhitions ladder, promotion with
all the wealth and honor and power and reputation capable of being involved in it: rewards a
mass of rewards of which in part has within the hopes prospect
of any of the persons engaged in the privateering line

14 Consequently either in promoting, captors shown mass to insufficient (which by experience they are found not to be in a Kigns ship in ordinately superfluous

From all these considerations put together nothing
can be more evident than that under the arrangement by
which which the public is saddled with the whole
of the expense the whole of the profit is bestowed
upon the captors, the allowance made to the captors
is in a very high degree excessive: that it was made
the Act by which for the first time the division reward

of is precedent has as the time to all suceeding
Acts laws, was the improvidence in of the highest degree in some
quarters, coupled probably with well considered rapacity
in others.
It was passed in the early part of Queen Anns reign
under the administration of the weak husband
of that weak womans, Prince George of Denmark,
at that time Lord High Admiral with a Council
under him: an administration the mismanagement misconduct of
which, so far as concerns that branch of the military service
forms one of the mpst prominent features in the history of That time. Sir also
