Companies of his own regiment and one company of the first regiment of Artillery and Engineers: and
The Pay-Master of the fourth regiment of infantry is to pay for Companies of his own regiment and one troop of dragoons.
These officers are in all relations to the pay of the troops subject to the instructions of the Pay-Master General, whom they are only to report; and who himself will be careful so to arrange the business of his department, as not to interfere with the grace of the clothing.
It is presumed that by a firm adherence to this arrangement economy comfort and uniformity may be promoted, wastefulness repressed and that many species of irregularity of supplies taken and equities may be checked.
