In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board
In answer to our letter of today's date to our Secretary we inform you that notwithstanding the Orders given by this Board in July 1700, to pay the Officers of all Ships serving as Guardships, as those belonging to fourth Rates, except the standing Warrant Officers, yet it is now intended that the Officers belonging to the Ships ordered to be paid, which have remained in harbour with eighty Men, shall be paid in the same manner as the Officers of Ships of those Rates respectively without the usual abatement of Rigging Wages.
No more Officers shall be allowed or paid on those Ships after their reduction to eighty Men than has been allowed lately to the Ships that did the Duty of Guardships at several Ports, and you are to take particular care accordingly.
