The King acquaints them they are met to consider of the
appropriating clauses [to see how] if any preference be given to
the services therein mentioned that which is most pressing may
be first provided for so as the whole be disposed of to the services
therein expressed. The Attorney General is of opinion that the
400,000l. [appropriated to the Navy by the Act for the 2s. Aid,
1 Wm. and Mary, Sess. 2, c. 1, and in the proportions as
therein] may be paid promiscuously to the several uses expressed
[wages, victuals or stores] ; and so [long] as 200,000l. be applied
to the pay of the seamen and the rest as declared by the Act
the intention of the Act is sufficiently answered ; for that there
are no words which do declare any priority for one service more
than another. The Solicitor General is of the same opinion.
The Treasury Lords and Admiralty Lords do concur with them
and the Attorney and Solicitor General are to state the matter
[of law] upon the clause and to give their opinion thereupon in
