Here is an example of the scheme as used for raising a regiment of 10 companies each of 60 men.
| Proceeds of sale of 1 Lieut.-colonelcy, 1 Majority, 1 Company, 1 Lieutenancy, 1 Ensigncy, amount to | £9250 | |
| Cost of 600 men at £15 | 9000 | |
| Balance | £250 |
Another scheme for augmenting battalions of infantry. As soon as 450 approved recruits have been raised, there shall be added to it a Lieutenant-colonel, and a Major.
| The Major will pay for his Lieut.-colonelcy | £600 | |
| The senior Captain will pay for his senior Majority | 700 | |
| Another Captain will pay for his junior Majority | 550 | |
| Two Companies thus vacated will sell for | 2800 | |
| Levy-money of £5 granted by Government for 450 men | 2250 | |
| Total | £6900 | |
| Cost of 450 men at £15 (£10 bounty and £5 levy-money) would be | 6750 | |
| Balance | £150 |
Thus the country is saved all expense but £5 a man levy-money.
