CADET CORPS.

with a Volunteer Corps, but they are not entitled to
any capitation allowance.
100. Proposals for forming a Cadet Corps are to be
made to the Officer commanding the district, through
the Commanding Officer of the corps to which it is
intended that the Cadet Corps should be united, and
the Officer commanding the district will forward the
proposal for the consideration of the Government.
In such application, the proposed strength of the
corps is to be stated.
101. The members of a Cadet Corps are not to be
attested for service.
102. The Commissioned Officers of a Cadet Corps
receive only honorary commissions.
103. Cadet Corps must wear the same uniform as
the corps to which they are united, unless an
exception to this rule be specially sanctioned.
104. To members of a Cadet Corps, who, in the
opinion of the Officer commanding the district, are
of sufficient age to carry on rifle practice, arms will
be issued and ammunition supplied in the proportion
laid down in clause 81.
105. Cadet Corps are not to fire in military
formation unless they have been inspected and
pronounced qualified to do so by the Adjutant of the
Permanent Staff.

FINANCE.
106. An Adjutant of the Permanent Staff may be
appointed Paymaster, and will in such capacity
receive and disburse the pay and capitation allow-
ance granted under "The Volunteer Act, 1865," and
will be held responsible that the expenditure of the
same is strictly confined to the authorized services.
107. Every Adjutant, when appointed Paymaster,
will be required to give security for the due
performance of his financial duties in two approved
bonds for £500 each, his personal bond for £500 in
addition will also be required (a policy of a
Guarantee Society will be accepted.)

109. After the receipt and examination of the nomi-
nal roll (vide Appendices K. and L.), showing the
number of Volunteers in each corps for whom the capi-
tation allowance will be admissible, the Paymaster will
receive instructions from the Defence Office authoriz-
ing him to draw from the Treasury a sum not exceed-
ing one half of the total sum voted by the Assembly
for the service of the corps during the year. Any
further issue will only be made on receipt of a certi-
ficate signed by the Commanding Officer and Pay-
master, showing that the money previously issued
has been duly expended.
110. No claim for the capitation allowance will be
admitted for any corps whose strength is below the
minimum establishment.
111. The capitation allowance may be applied at
the discretion of the Commanding Officer, either to
past or current expenditure; but the payments are
to be made by the Paymaster, and are to be strictly
confined to the following heads:—
Uniforms, drill shed or drill ground, band and
musical instruments, care and repair of arms,
ranges, targets, butts, &c.; magazine or
armory, or repairs to same, cost of conveyance
of men and arms to or from brigade or bat-
talion drill, field days or reviews and gun or
rifle practice, and expenses incidental to target
practice.
in such proportions as the Commanding Officer shall
certify to the Paymaster are in accordance with the
wishes of a majority of the corps.
112. The sums due to the Government for supplies
of cloth, clothing, and other stores, and for repair of
arms, &c., will take precedence of other claims to be
paid out of the capitation allowance; and the Pay-
master on being informed of the amount which will
be required to credit in his account (on account of
such claims) will at once provide for the payment by
retaining any public moneys (to the amount required)
that may be in his hands; or if he should not be in
possession of sufficient funds for the purpose he will
report at once to the Defence Office.
113. The Paymaster must transmit to the Defence
Office, fourteen days before the expiration of each
month, an estimate of the pay and allowances of the
Permanent Staff entitled to pay during the ensuing
month.
114. The Paymaster will render an account in
duplicate every three months to the Defence Office of
all sums received and expended by him.
115. This account is to be completed and forwarded
to the Defence Office on or before the 15th July and
15th January in each year.
