per week and one penny for each odd night for each Soldier. The
Billet master attends from ] 1 to 5 o'clock on the 28th of each month
(when it does not fall on Sunday) and the two following days, to pay
the Government allowance.
iV. B. The case of a soldier who charged 8/ for a billet of two
weeks, upon an inhabitant, was brought before the sitting Magistrate,
who, after hearing both parties, and examining witnesses, ordered the
soldier to refund the overcharge, and communicate this circumstance
to his comrades; and decerned that IjG per week is a sufficient sum
in lieu of a bed; but as the soldier is put to some trouble to provide a
bed for himself, he should be allowed 6d. additional, making a sum
of 2/ per week; and if at any future time a higher charge is made, it
should not be allowed to pass unnoticed
Glasgow Herald, 25d Dec. 1822.
A case similar to the above was tried in the Justice of Peace court,
when a sergeant made a charge of 5s. per week, for one man, for a
bed, which the inhabitant resisted as being too much; the Justices adhering
to a decision of the Magistrates in December, 1822, decided,
that 2s. per week was the proper sum to be paid to one man in lieu of
a bed.
