Proclamation Extends Naval Bounties and Recruiting Rewards
An 1812 Royal Proclamation extends payments of bounties and travel allowances to Seamen and Landmen who enter service or aid in recruiting. It sets age ranges, amounts, and conditions, prolonging the program to December 31, detailing rewards for discovery of concealed sailors and for facilitating voluntary service. The Prince Regent, in Council, orders continuation of these incentives.
