   to appoint a proper number of Officers to train,
   discipline, and command every Regiment,
   Battalion or other body according to the
   Regulations to be from time to time made in
   that behalf.

3. It shall also be lawful for the Governor
   from time to time to make such Regulations
   respecting the training and exercise, arms and
   accoutrements, clothing and equipment, pay,
   rations and lodging of such Militia, or any
   part thereof, and respecting all other matters
   connected therewith which may be required for
   promoting the efficiency of such Militia as a
   Military Force: Provided always, that the
   Regulations so to be made shall not in any-
   wise be repugnant to the provisions of this
   Act.

4. In all cases of actual Invasion, or upon
   imminent danger thereof, and in all cases of
   Rebellion or Insurrection, or upon any im-
   minent danger to the safety of any part of the
   Colony, it shall be lawful for the Governor, or
   such person as he shall from time to time by
   Warrant under his hand appoint as his Deputy
   for that purpose, to direct the officer com-
   manding the Militia of any district, with all
   convenient speed, to draw out for Actual Ser-
   vice such Militia Force, or such part or number
   thereof as the Governor or such Deputy shall
   judge necessary, and in such manner as shall
   to him seem best adapted to the circumstances

of the danger, and to lead the said Forces into
any part of the district in which such Militia
shall have been raised, and such Militia shall
continue on actual service so long as, in the
opinion of the Governor, the danger shall
render their services necessary: Provided
always, that neither the whole nor any part of
the Militia to be raised in any district, shall, on
any account, be carried, or ordered to go, beyond
the boundaries of such district, except only
such as shall volunteer for service out of the
same.

9. Every Militiaman who shall be so
   seriously wounded or otherwise injured, when
   on Actual Service, as to afterwards impede his
   obtaining a livelihood, shall be entitled to a
   pension so long as he shall be so disabled, ac-
   cording to such Regulations as the Governor
   in Council shall from time to time make in
   that behalf, as nearly as the circumstances will
   admit in accordance with the Regulations in
   force in respect of the Queen's Regular Troops,
   and of a similar amount.

10. When the whole or any part of such
    Militia shall be ordered out into Actual Ser-
    vice as aforesaid, the person to whom such
    order shall be directed, shall forthwith cause
    notice in writing to be given to the several
    Militiamen, or left at their usual places of
    abode, to attend at the time and place men-
    tioned in such Order.

11. If any Militiaman so directed to be
    drawn out (not labouring under any infirmity
    incapacitating him to serve as a Militiaman),
    shall not appear and march in pursuance of
    such direction, every such Militiaman shall be
    liable to be apprehended and punished as a De-
    serter, according to the provisions of any Act
    then in force for punishing Mutiny and Deser-
    tion, and for the better payment of the Army
    and their Quarters, and of the Articles of War
    made in pursuance of the same.

12. If any person knowingly shall harbour
    or conceal any such Militiaman when directed so
    to be drawn out, he shall, for every such offence,
    forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding twenty
    pounds, to be recovered in a summary way.

    the time and place appointed for exercise, shall

I, A. B., do sincerely promise and swear
that I will be faithful and bear true Alle-
giance to Her Majesty Queen Victoria,
and that I will faithfully serve in the Mi-
litia until I shall be lawfully discharged,
and shall thereupon be enrolled. The said
Oath shall be taken in the presence of the
Senior Officer of Militia then present, who is
hereby authorised and required to administer
the same.

    ammunition, or neglect or refuse to return the
    same in good order to his Captain, or to the
    person appointed to receive the same: or if any
    person shall knowingly and wilfully buy, take
    in exchange, conceal, or otherwise receive any
