Naval Agency and Distribution Act 1864 (1864 c 24)

The Naval Agency and Distribution Act 1864 was enacted to improve administrative efficiency and financial management within the Royal Navy. It established more systematic processes for the distribution of prize money granted to naval officers and crews for capturing enemy vessels. The Act created the role of the Accountant General of the Navy to oversee the accurate distribution of these funds, replacing the previous system of complex and inconsistent prize courts. This reform aimed to ensure fair disbursement and prevent fraudulent claims, enhancing the integrity and operational effectiveness of naval financial practices.
