These accounts are kept by the clerical staff in the department of the Master of the Household, and are paid by the Keeper of the Privy Purse. The household accounts are paid once . B month, and all the servants' wages are paid monthly, but His Majesty's private accounts are settled every quarter, The clerk in charge of them makes out ¢ siatement of the accounts, which 48 submitted to the King, who then gives his cheque for the total amount to the clerk, by whom they are dis- charged. It may be mentioned, says the "Tatler," that the King never bar gains about the price of anything he purchases. If the price charged is exorbitant, the tradesman loses the Royal custom; but this, however, rarely or pever happens. While Bousehold accounts for food, otc, are paid once & month, some arti clés are supplied by contract, such as coal.
