Civil List Pensioners.
On the Queen's accession in 1837, she was em-powered to grant in every year of her reign new pensions in conformity with certain resolutions of the House of Commons passed 18th February, 1834, provided that the total should not exceed £1,200 in new grants yearly: that sum being calculated as equivalent to £19,871 perpetual annuity. The result must speak for itself.
Annual payments for Civil List Pensions conferred by the present Sovereign.
