Duke of York's Royal Military School
Duke of York's Royal Military School; Royal Military Asylum
All the Officers, Assistants, and Servants, are subject to his Orders;
and, as he is responsible for their Conduct, He is hereby invested with
Power to suspend (until the next meeting of the Committee) any of the
Officers not holding Commissions, Assistants, or Servants, whose
misconduct may deserve it. It will be his Duty to Report to the
Committee all occurrences that may call for their attention; and He will
constantly exercise his utmost care and vigilance in promoting the
general Welfare of the Institution.
It is of essential consequence that all Payments should, as far as
practicable, be regularly made every Quarter, under the authority of the
General Board: But, as there will be many casual Disbursements, which
cannot be conveniently postponed to those Periods; the Treasurer will be
authorized by the Commissioners to advance to the Commandant, from time
to time, as they shall see occasion, such moderate Sums as they may deem
necessary for such Disbursements; and the Commandant will direct the
Quarter-Master and Steward to make those payments; to take proper
Receipts in the name of the Treasurer; to keep a regular Account of the
same: which Account (with the Receipts) shall be produced by the
Commandant every Quarter, for examination by the Committee, and for
confirmation by the Board.
DUTY OF THE TREASURER.
The Treasurer shall receive all Monies applicable to the purposes of this
Institution; and pay the same agreeably to such orders as the
Commissioners shall from time to time issue, in conformity to the
directions contained in His Majesty’s Warrant of this Date.
He is to produce Accompts Annually (with Vouchers in the Form approved by
the Commissioners) of all Monies by him received and expended for the
Royal Military Asylum; and, after his Accompts shall have been examined
and approved by the Commissioners, He shall finally pass the same,
according to the Practice observed in regard to the Accompts of other
Public Military Institutions.
He shall, at all times when required, furnish the Board, or Committee,
with a State of the Balance of Cash in his Hands; and with such other
Information as they may call for, respecting his Accompts as Treasurer of
this Institution.
DUTY OF THE CHAPLAIN AND SUPERINTENDENT OF MORALS AND EDUCATION.
The Chaplain is to be Resident in the House. His Duty will be to read
Prayers twice, and Preach once, at least, every Sunday; and likewise on
Christmas Day, Good Friday, and every Public Fast, or Festival, that may
be directed by the Ordinary; and it is the positive order of the
Commissioners, that all the Officers, Assistants, and Servants, of the
Establishment, shall regularly attend Divine Service on Sundays, and on
the Public Fasts and Festivals.
