In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board
Thomas Monk, late Carpenter of the DIAMOND, by reason of age and infirmity is incapable of further employment. We have thought fit to discharge him and it appears from your report of 4 February that he has served more than 23 years, which is more than the time for such officers to be superannuated by the establishment made by His Majesty in Council dated 11 December 1690. You are directed to settle a pension on him during his natural life, equal to the wages and allowances for Carpenters of 4th Rate ships to commence from the time he was discharged from the DIAMOND. You are to sign bills quarterly on the Treasurer of the Navy for this.
