nition whatever, every such offender shall for-
feit and pay for every such offence any sum not
exceeding £10, to be recovered in a summary
way.

23. During the time that any such Militia
    shall be assembled for the purpose of being
    trained and exercised, or for Actual Service,
    all things contained in any Act of Parliament
    which shall then be in force for punishing
    Mutiny and Desertion, and for the better pay-
    ment of the Army and their Quarters, and in
    the Articles of War made in pursuance of
    such Act, shall be in force with respect to such
    Militia, and to all the Officers, non-Commis-
    sioned Officers, Drummers, and Privates of the

24. And whereas it is expedient to encour-
    age the enrolment of Volunteers for Military
    or Naval Service in the Colony: Be it there-
    fore further enacted that it shall be lawful for
    the Governor in Council from time to time to
    make, vary, and abolish Regulations under
    which the Service of Volunteers shall be ac-
    cepted in any Militia district, and whenever
    any Volunteers shall be enrolled under such
    Regulations they shall be subject to such of the
    provisions of this Act as shall be specified in
    such Regulations, and to none other of such
    provisions, and all such Regulations shall have
    the same force and effect as though they had
    been embodied in and formed part of this Act:
    Provided always that whenever the whole of
    the Militia of any district is drawn out for
    Actual Service, the Volunteers in such district
    shall always be liable to serve, either as a body,
    or such af them as are on the Militia Roll as
    part of the Regular Militia; and that when-
    ever a part or certain number only of the
    Militia of any district is chosen by ballot for
    Actual Service, any Volunteers being on the
    Militia Roll shall be liable to such baliot, and
    if chosen to serve accordingly, unless they shall
    be or shall consent to go, if required on Actual
    Service as Volunteers.

between the western end of Nepean Reef and
the Corsair Rock; also a small detached rock
situated about one hundred and fifty (150)
feet N.N.E. from the Corsair Rock, having
from ten (10) to twelve (12) feet water over
them.

These dangers, it will be observed, close up
the narrow passage hitherto supposed to exist
(and referred to in the Sailing Directions) be-
tween the western end of Nepean Reef and
the Corsair Rock, but do not affect the fair-
way used by vessels passing in and out between
the Heads.

These newly discovered dangers being inside
of the Corsair Rock, the marks and instructions
given in the sailing Directions to clear the
latter remain unaltered, namely:--Shortland's
Bluff Flagstaff kept half a cable's length open
to the westward of the low lighthouse clears
the Corsair and adjacent rocks.

Masters of vessels in possession of the before-
mentioned Sailing Directions can obtain, on
application at any of the Harbor Offices, a slip
with the above information, printed in corres-
ponding type and size, for insertion as an ad-
dendum to them.
