EXTRACT FROM KING'S REGULATIONS AND ADMIRALTY INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPREHENSION OF DESERTERS- REWARDS, & c. ( b.) Committed direct to Naval custody on board any one of His Majesty's ships. In either of the above cases, after the deserter or absentee has been delivered into Naval custody, ho may be dealt with under the Naval Discipline Act. 795. Except in the oases specified in Art. 797, tho Cap ® in may authorise the payment of a reward not exceeding £ 3 to any Constable or other person by whom a deserter may be brought on board or delivered up to any duly authorised person within two years of tho date of his desertion. Tho amount of the award should be determined by the attendant circumstances, and in considering these, tho zeal shown, and the trouble taken by the Constable or other person by whom the arrest of the deserter has been effected, should be duly weighed. The above Regulations for tho payment of rewards will not be held to apply in the case of a deserter voluntarily surrendering himself at any l'olice Station, or to any Constable or other recognised authority unless it can bo clearly shown that such deserter hud been induced so to surrender himself by the vigilance and exertions of any such Constable or other person, but exceptional cases of this description are not t- o bo dealt with without reference to the Admiralty at home or Commanders- in- Chief, or Officers in oommand of stations abroad, so that a full enquiry into the circumstances can be made if necessary. 2. In oases where persons have been more than two years iu a state of desertion, no reward is to be paid without previous reference as above; it has been notified to the Constabulary generally that when deserters are apprehended in the United Kingdom after such a period of absence, they are not to be removed from their places of confinement until the Admiralty has been communicated with. 3. A reward, not exceeding £ 3, may also be paid for the apprehension of any person who without being guilty of desertion, in the opinion of the Captain of the ship to which he belongs, either gives reasonable ground for considering that he intends to desert, or commits any one of the following offences, the particu- lars of which are to be stated in the notice to the Police :— ( a.) Breaks out of his ship. ( 6.) When on servioe away from his ship, quite his place of duty and continues to be absent after the time at whioh he should have returned to the ship. ( c.) When his ship is under sailing ordere, con- tinues to be absent without leave, after tho ship has sailed; provided that the fact of the ship being under sailing orders was generally known. A reward not exceeding £ 1 may be paid for the apprehension of any man who overstays his leave unless there is reasonable ground for considering that the man intends to desert, in which case £ 3 may be paid. 792. The penalties for inducing men to desert or to improperly absent themselves or for employing or concealing deserters or absentees, are set forth in the Naval Discipline Act. See 723 ( Aiding Desertion). ***** 793. Every possible effort is to be made to check desertion and absence without leave, and by lawful means to detect and apprehend deserters or absentees. Descriptions on Form S243 are to bo distributed as may be directed by the Commanders- in- Chief, but at nome one copy is invariably to be sent by the Captain to the Chief Constable of the deserter's or absentee's usual placo of residence, when it be known, and also to any other placo or places where he may be likely to have gone. 2. The procedure to bo followed in respect of the arrest and subsequent disposal of deserters and absentees is governed by the provisions of Section 9 of the Act 10 and 11 Vict., cap. 62; and by Section 50 of the Naval Discipline Act. 3. Under the first of those Statutes, any person arrested on suspicion of being a deserter or absentee i torn His Majesty's Navy, shall be taken and charged before a Magistrate, and by him, either—- ( a.) Conveyed to prison pending enquiry of the Naval authorities as to his identity, and afterwards, should such identity be proved, handed over to Naval custody ; or— 4. If arrested on Naval Warrant under Section 50 of the Naval Discipline Aot, the deserter or absentee may bo received direct into Naval custody, and dealt with under the Naval Discipline Act, but no deserter or absentee who has not been arrested under such warrant shall be received from the Police or from any other person, unless such deserter or absentee has first been charged before a Magistrate. 5. A deserter or absentee who voluntarily surrenders himself to Naval authority may be dealt with under tiie Naval Discipline Act, though no warrant for his arrest may have been issued, and without cliarging him before a Magistrate. 6. Under the provisions of Section 10 of the Aot 10 and 11 Vict. cap. 62, any person who voluntarily confesses to being a deserter, or an absentee without leave, from His Majesty's Navy, unless ho surrender himself into Naval custody, may either— ( a.) Be taken before a Magistrate, and by him delivered into Naval custody ; or— In either oase, however, the question whether he bo or be not a deserter or absentee, must be duly investi- gated by Naval authority, and for that purpose he may bo detained for a reasonable time, when, if his confession of desertion or absence without leave shall be found not to be true, then he cannot be punished at all under the Naval Discipline Act, but he may either— ( c.) Bo detained and received in His Majesty's Navy; or (</.) If not received into His Majesty's Navy, and on conviction of false confession of desertion before two Justices of the Peace, he may be adjudged to l> e punished if in England, as a rogue and a vagabond, and if in Scotland or Ireland by commitment to prison, there to be I kept to hard labour for any timo not exceed- ing three months. 7. When any deserter, or absentee without leave, whether delivered into Naval custody by order of a Magistrate, or by a warrant issued under Section 50 of the Naval Discipline Act, or by voluntary surrender, shall be brought before tho Captain of any one of His Majesty's ships to bo dealt with summarily, his oase is to bo thoroughly investigated with a view to estab- lish his identity, and a note taken in writing of the proceedings; the prisoner is at the same time to be formally asked if he has any statement to make, and 6uoh statement, if made, is to be signed by tho prisoner and duly witnessed; and the accuracy of any sueh statement is to be carefully tested before tfie oaao is finally disposed of. In giving theso rewards, tho same considerations that govern the payment of rewards for tho appre- hension of deserters are to be taken into account, both as to arrest and voluntary surrender. (/.) Except in special oases the only other charges which should bo sanctioned are tho statutory tees of 2s. to tho Magistrate's Clerk, and 2s. 6d. to any Medical Practitioner by whom the deserter or absentee may have been examined. ***** 2. If no reward should bo payable, the Constable, or other person bringing deserters or absentees on board, should be directed, in addition to tho above items, to prefer a claim for such other expenses as ho may consider himself fairly entitled to, but every case ot this description is to be forwarded to the Admiralty for examination and decision. 3. If tho Constable, or other person, bringing a deserter or absentee on board, should object to tlio Captain's award, the case is to be submitted to the Commander- in- Chief, who if unable to settle the question will forward it for the decision of the Admiralty. ***** The Governor of the gaol will furnish a statement of the number of days' subsistence provided, for which the sum of one shilling per diem is to be a dded to the other charges against the man's pay if convicted of desertion or absence without leave. This particular charge of Is. per diem is to be shown, with othtr mulcts, on the ship's ledger. * * * * * 5. With a view of simplifying the payment of such claims, Magistrates and Governors of gaols whci requested to send deserters or absentees hack to the. r ships, should be informed tliat it is desirablo that tho men should be sent in tho custody of tho Constable* who actually apprehended them. 6. Tho foregoing mode of payment does not apply cases of deserters or absent- ces apprehended by t!- e London Metropolitan Police. In such cases the follow- ing course is to be observed :— No payment is to be made by tho Acoouutant Officcr in respect of the expeuses incurred by the Constable, or of any reward which may be duo to liini. The Constable will produoe a form, prepared for the purpose, in which he will include the whole of his expenses, and certify that they were necessarily in- curred by him. He will then hand the form to tho Accountant Officer of tho ship, who will, with the approval of the Captain, charge tho deserter or absentee with the sum shown thereon, together with any reward, if due, and note in the space provided on the form, the fact of the charge having been made. The form is then to be returned to the Constable. The payment of the expenses incurred, and of the reward, when due, will be arranged between the Admiralty and the Commissioners of Police. 797. No reward under the authority given to the Captain by Article 795 is in any case to bo paid for the apprehension of deserters or absentees within the precincts of a place where a Police Force is employed in any Naval establishment, but in order to encourage tho local police at any such port or place to search for and apprehend deserters and absentees, tho Com- mander- in- Chief or Senior Officer present, at his dis- cretion, and under such regulations as ho may from time to time lay down, may approve a reward not exceeding £ 1 being paid for each deserter or absentee arrested by a Constable of the local Police within a reasonable period. Tho reward paid is to be charged on the ship's ledger against the wages of tho deserter or absentee. * * • * * NOTE.— If any doubt exists as to the address of any ship, the Admiralty should bo asked by telegraph for information. Payments are mado by the Accountant Officer of the ship. When any Naval authority has once been com- municated with as to the disposal of a deserter or absentee, separate arrangements should not be mado with a second Naval authority without notifying tho former of the steps that are being taken. Neglect of tliis precaution may result in muoh unnecessary trouble and expense. Every application for a reward under the foregoing Regulations should be made as soon as possible after the arrest, and should be accompanied by a detailed report of tho attendant circumstances ( see Article 705, Clause 1, paragraph 2) for the information of the Commanding Officer who authorises tho payment of- tho reward. ( b.) Be arrested on a warrant under Section 50 of the Naval Discipline Act, and delivered direct into Naval custodv. 4. No reward is to be paid for the apprehension of any Commissioned. Warrant, or Subordinate Officer, without the sanction of the Admiralty at home, or of the Commander- in- Chief or Senior Officer present, abroad. ***** 796. In addition to ' the foregoing rewards, the Constable or other person bringing deserters or absentees on board may be paid 6uch expenses attend- ing their lodgment, subsistence and travelling, as may appear to have been fairly incurred and to be in accordance with the following regulations, viz. :— ( a.) Railway Fare ( r. tnni) of' Escort ( i.) Railway Fare ( single) of deserter or absentee. As an ordinary rule not to exceed Id. per mile. ( c.) Other sums expended in the aetual con- veyance of the deserter or absentee, such as for the hire of cabs, boats, & c. ( d.) Subsistence of deserter or' absentee. Not exceeding Is. a day while under detention, or 2s. 6d. a day when travelling. ( e.) Subsistence of escort ... At the same rate as that allowed for Petty Officers under Art. 1495, aocording to the time necessarily occupied in conveying the deserter or absentee to his destination and returning. • .
