enacted that on the occasions therein mentioned
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

service, the men of the Militia Force in the said

by and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the Colony, do hereby proclaim and
declare that the said Force shall henceforth cease to
be on actual service.
