(Circular.)

SIR,
I transmit to you herewith a copy of a
Letter from the War Office, enclosing a copy
of the Rules and Conditions which Secretary
Sir George Lewis has adopted for regulating
the supply of Arms and Ammunition to Militia
and Volunteer Corps in the different Colonies.

I have expressed my entire concurrence in
these Rules and Regulations, and I transmit
them, together with the explanatory Letter for
your information and guidance.

I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient humble Servant,
NEWCASTLE.

Governor Sir George Grey,

SIR E. LUGARD TO SIR F. ROGERS.
(Copy.)
War Office, 27th March, 1862.

SIR, I am directed by the Secretary of State
for War to acknowledge the receipt of several
letters from the Colonial Office enclosing
applications from Governors and Lieutenant-
Governors in the West Indies for Arms and
Ammunition. These requisitions (of which a
Schedule is annexed) have suggested to Sir
George Lewis the expediency of laying down
some general and more definite rules than he
finds to be at present in existence.

It would appear that Small Arms, Ordnance,
Ammunition, and other Military Stores have,
since the year 1854, been furnished by the War
Office to very many of the Colonies. They
have been supplied as a gift, on loan, or
on repayment, and instances have occurred
where, even in the same Colony, all three
arrangements have alternately been adopted.

In the year 1860, however, in consequence
of the attention of the Secretary of State having
been drawn to the absence of system in regu-
lating the issues, it was decided that all Rifles
for the use of Volunteers in the Colonies, where
not paid for, should be supplied on loan, sub-
ject to withdrawal. This decision has been
adhered to with general consistency.

Ammunition has not, as a rule, been sup-
plied for some time past to any of the Colonies,
except upon repayment.

Again, no steps have been taken, except in
