The Naval Service Reform Petition Exposes Navy Officer Waste
A pamphlet from Edward Edwards alleges vast overstaffing and half pay abuses in the Royal Navy. It cites 2656 officers afloat and 4572 authorized, with millions lost to half-pay and forged ages. The document urges pruning flag officers and promoting efficiency, while noting family connections securing easy captaincies. Also a brief cotton market note from Liverpool reports dull trade with 2000 bags sold at steady rates.
