alter, and revoke regulations respecting the enrolment, disci-
pline, training, exercise, accoutrements, clothing, equipment,

or any part thereof:

And whereas by Orders in Council, dated the twenty-

hundred and eighty-five, certain regulations were made for
the purposes aforesaid: And whereas it is expedient now
to revoke the same:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony

doth hereby declare that in lieu thereof the following rules
shall come into force from the date of the publication hereof.

SCHEDULE.

1. EVERY person, upon enrolling himself, will sign an
   engagement to serve until lawfully discharged, and take the
   oath or make a solemn affirmation as prescribed by the Act.
   The oath to be administered by a Justice of the Peace or an
   officer of the corps who has taken such oath, whose signa-
   ture will be affixed to the attestation paper (Form V.—1).
   This document, when produced in Court, and the Volunteer
   identified as the person named therein, will be sufficient
   evidence, for the purpose of recovering fines, that the man
   has been sworn. The attestation paper, duly numbered and
   recorded, is to be kept in the District Office.

2. Enrolments will take place quarterly, namely, in the
   months of January, April, July, and October in each year,
   except in the case of trained bandsmen; and persons de-
   sirous of joining the Force must submit their names to the
   Officer Commanding the corps they wish to enter, for his
   approval, and must give him the following particulars: Age,
   height, occupation, and address. Provided that the Go-
   vernor may direct an enrolment at other times if he shall
   see fit.

3. The establishment of officers and non-commissioned
   officers of all corps will be according to the following table:—

• Battery Sergeant-Major allowed for each battery of artillery in
  addition.

If desired, Volunteer corps will be permitted to enrol up
to a maximum strength of 100 of all ranks, and arms, accou-
trements, and ammunition will be provided by Government;
but no claim for capitation will be admitted (except in the
case of trained bandsmen) for any member in excess of the
number laid down in the above table.

4. The Volunteer Force shall consist of the following dif-
   ferent arms, which will rank in the order named :—
   Naval Artillery Volunteers.
   Cavalry Volunteers.
   Mounted Infantry Volunteers.
   Artillery Volunteers.
   Engineer Volunteers.
   Rifle Volunteers.

5. Volunteer corps of all arms will be classified as fol-
   lows:—
   (a.) Corps enrolled in centres of population or specified
   localities to be termed “garrison corps.”
   (b.) Corps in outlying districts or localities to be termed
   “country corps.”
   (c.) “Honorary corps,” the members of which will be pro-
   vided with arms, accoutrements, and ammunition by
   Government, but will not receive capitation or any
   other pecuniary allowance.
   (d.) “Honorary reserve corps,” the members of which
   will not receive capitation or any other pecuniary
   allowance, who will provide their own arms, accoutre-
   ments, and ammunition, and who will be permitted to
   draw up special private rules for the general manage-
   ment and discipline of their corps: Provided such rules
   are not repugnant to the provisions of the Volunteer Act
   then in force, and are submitted for the approval of
   His Excellency the Governor.

6. In addition to the four quarterly Inspection parades
   provided for in Rule 116, Officers Commanding Districts and
   Adjutants of the permanent staff are empowered to order one
   inspection parade in each half-year, attendance at which will
   be allowed to reckon towards the four parades required to
   qualify for capitation.

Regulations for the Examination of Teachers.

Wm. F. DRUMMOND JERVOIS,
Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this fifth day of
May, 1885.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

BY virtue of the powers and authorities vested in me by
“The Education Act, 1877,” I, William Francis
Drummond Jervois, the Governor of the Colony of New
Zealand, by and with the advice and consent of the Execu-
tive Council of the said colony, do hereby make the following
regulations for the examination of teachers, that is to say,—

1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
   Orders in Council of the twenty-fourth day of September,
   one thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight, and the
   seventh day of July, one thousand eight hundred and eighty,
   the annual examination of candidates for teachers’ certifi-
   cates shall be held between the fourteenth and the twenty-
   fourth days of December of every year, and not in the month
   of January or March, and candidates for any class must*
   give written notice, accompanied by all necessary testi-
   monials and declarations, not later than the fifteenth day of
   September immediately before the examination.

2. Every candidate for examination, with the exception of
   candidates who apply to be examined in elementary science
   or domestic economy only, and of candidates who having
   been partially successful at a former examination present
   themselves for examination in those subjects only in which
   they were at that former examination unsuccessful, shall, at
   the time of giving notice of intention to be present at the
   examination, pay to the credit of the Public Account at any
   branch of the Bank of New Zealand the sum of one pound
   sterling as a contribution towards defraying the expenses of
   the examination, and shall forward the bank receipt to the
   Minister of Education, with the notice of intention to sit at
   the examination.

3. No application for examination will be received unless
   it be accompanied by a certificate, signed by a Public School
   Inspector, and setting forth that the candidate has passed
   before such Inspector a satisfactory examination in reading,
   spelling, dictation, and writing; but this regulation shall not
   apply to candidates who already hold certificates granted to
   them by the Minister of Education, nor to candidates who
   present themselves in those subjects only in which at a
   former examination they were unsuccessful.

4. These regulations shall come into force upon the date
   hereof.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
