XXXIIPay received by Adjutants, Surgeons, Paymasters and Quartermasters, as Staff Officers in the present Militia, and also Allowances received by lieutenants, Ensigns, and Surgeons Mates, to be continued under the like Regulations as they now receive the same.

And whereas in consequence of the Repeal by this Act of the said Two Acts passed in the Thirty-sixth and Thirty-ninth Years of the Reign of His late Majesty King George the Third, the Adjutants, Surgeons, Paymasters, and Quartermasters of the said Two Regiments of London Militia, who are now receiving Pay as Staff Officers of the said Regiments, and the Lieutenants, Ensigns, and Surgeons Mates of the said Two Regiments, who are now entitled to an Allowance, as having been actually serving in the said Militia at the Time of its being disembodied, under and by virtue of the annual Act passed to defray the Charge of the Pay, Clothing-and contingent Expences of the disembodied Militia of Great Britain, will cease to be entitled to such Pay and Allowances, unless Provision is made to the contrary by this Act; and it is just that such Persons should continue to receive the same Pay and Allowances, under the like Regulations and Restrictions as they now receive the same ; be it therefore further enacted, That every Adjutant, Surgeon; Paymaster, and Quartermaster, now serving in the said Two Regiments of London Militia, and receiving Pay, and who shall not be elected or appointed to any Commission or Office in the Regiment to be raised under and by virtue of this Act, and every Lieutenant, Ensign, and Surgeon's Mate now serving in the said Regiments, and receiving any Allowance by virtue of any Act now in force for defraying the Charge of the Pay, Clothing, and contingent Expences of the disembodied Militia of Great Britain, shall continue to be entitled to receive the same Pay or Allowance as he now receives, subject to such Regulations and Restrictions as now or hereafter shall be in force in relation thereto, by any Act or Acts for defraying of the Charge of the Pay, Clothing, and contingent Expences of the disembodied Militia of Great Britain; and such Pay and Allowances shall be issued to the Paymaster of the Regiment to be raised by virtue of this Act, and shall be by him paid to the several Persons who shall be entitled to receive the same, in the like Manner as the present Pay and Allowances are issued to the respective Paymasters of the said Two Regiments, and under the like Regulations, or such other Regulations as may be directed by any future Act or Acts, having relation to the disembodied Militia of Great Britain: Provided nevertheless, that nothing contained in this Act shall be deemed to disqualify the Adjutants, Surgeons, Paymasters, or Quartermasters now serving and entitled to receive disembodied Pay, from being re-appointed to the same Rank which they now hold, and from executing the Duties thereof; any thing contained in this Act to the contrary notwithstanding.
