807-8 HALF AND RETIRED PAY OF THE ROYAL NAVY.
EFFECT OF LOSS OF SENIORITY BY SENTENCE OF COURT-MARTIAL.
The sentence of a Court-Martial, placing an officer at the bottom of the list of his rank
involves the loss of previous time of service in that rank ; so also, when the sentence of a
Court-Martial takes away any seniority from an Officer, it thereby affects his Full, Half, and
Retired Pay and gratuity in cases where the same depend upon seniority; and it carries
with it the loss of the benefit of the service, included in the seniority forfeited, in cases
where the Full, Half, and Retired Pay and gratuity, depend upon actual service.
