and equipped, and called out for Inspection or
Exercise, on such Number of Days, not exceed-
ing Twelve in each Year, as the Governor or
Person administering the Government of such
Colony or Possession for the time being shall
direct, under the same Penalties for Non-attendance and other Offences as are provided
by the said Acts or any of them; and the
Number of Men enrolled in any such Colony
or Possession shall not be counted in the
Number of Men authorized to be enrolled in
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland under the said Acts or any of them.

II. And be it enacted, that all persons
whose claims for prospective or deferred Pen-sion shall have been registered in Virtue of any
Warrant or Warrants under or to be made by
Her Majesty, or by the Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty, shall be liable to be enrolled
with and as part of the local Force for the
Preservation of the Peace under the Authority
of the Acts before recited, whether resident in
the United Kingdom or in any of Her Maje-sty’s Colonies and Possessions beyond the Seas.

III. And whereas by the Act herein-before
secondly-recited it is provided, that One of
Her Majesty’s Principal Secretaries of State,
or, in case of Emergency, any Person or Per-sons bearing the Warrant of the Secretary of
State for that Purpose, may call out the said
enrolled Pensioners in aid of the Civil Power,
for Preservation of the public Peace, as by the
said Act is directed, and by the Act herein-before thirdly recited similar Powers were con-ferred on the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland as
regards the enrolled Pensioners in that Coun-try; but such Warrant, if applied for and
issued after the Emergency has arisen, can-not in many cases be obtained in time to
meet such Emergency, and it is therefore
expedient to give further Facilities on that
behalf; be it enacted that it shall be lawful
for One of Her Majesty’s Principal Secretaries
of State, or in Ireland for the Lord Lieutenant
or other Chief Governor of Ireland, and in Her
Majesty’s Colonies and Possessions beyond the
Seas for the Governor or other Person admin-istering the Government of such Colony or
Possession, to issue his Warrant to the Lord
Lieutenant of any County, or the Mayor or
other Chief Magistrate of any Town or Dis-trict, wherein such Pensioners and Persons
having Claims to prospective or deferred Pen-sions are enrolled, authorizing him, in case of
Emergency, or anticipated Emergency, whereby
the Public Peace may be endangered, or on the
Requisition of any Officer commanding Her
Majesty’s Forces within such Town or Dis-trict, to call out the whole or such Part of the
Persons so enrolled as he may consider neces-sary, for any Term not exceeding Twelve Days,
during which Time they shall be liable to
the Provisions of the Mutiny Act and Articles
of War, in the same Manner in all respects as
is provided in the first-mentioned Act; but
no such enrolled Person who shall be called
out only by the Authority of any such Lord
Lieutenant of a County, Mayor, or Magistrate,
for the Preservation of the Public Peace, shall
be employed on such Duty for more than
Twelve Days, unless by a Warrant from One
of Her Majesty’s Principal Secretaries of
State, or in Ireland from the Lord Lieutenant
or Chief Governor of Ireland, or in any of
Her Majesty’s Colonies and Possessions beyond
the Seas, from the Governor or Person admin-istering the Government, in case of their
being employed in aid of the Civil Power, or
by Warrant of Her Majesty in case of their
volunteering to serve in any of Her Majesty’s
Forts, Towns, and Garrisons, as provided in
the said Act.

IV. And be it enacted, That in case of ac-tual or apprehended Invasion or Riot, it shall
be lawful for Her Majesty by any Proclamation
to direct that the said enrolled Pensioners, or
such of them as Her Majesty shall think fit,
may be sent, in aid of the Defence of the
Realm, or for the Suppression of Riot and
Preservation of the Peace, to any part of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
where their Services may be required and
during the time for which their services shall
be so required they shall be subject to all the
Provisions of any Act then in force for the
punishment of Mutiny and Desertion, and for
the better Payment of the Army and their
Quarters.

V. And be it enacted, That this Act may
be amended or repealed by any Act to be pas-sed in this Session of Parliament.
