Regulations for establishing Canteens in connection with the New Zealand Volunteer Force.

(L.S.)

ONSLOW, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand intituled “The Defence Act, 1886,” power is given to the Governor from time to time to make, alter, and revoke regulations respecting the enrolment, discipline, training, exercise, accoutrements, clothing, equipment, conveyance, pay, rations, and lodging of the forces, or any part thereof:

And whereas by Proclamations dated the twenty-sixth day of November, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, and the eleventh day of January, one thousand eight hundred and ninety, issued under the provisions of the said Act, certain regulations were made for the purposes aforesaid: And whereas it is expedient now to make additional regulations under the said Act regulating the establishment and conduct of canteens in camps of exercise or other assemblies of Volunteers:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance of the said recited power and authority, doth by this present Proclamation declare that the regulations specified in the Schedule hereto shall come into force from the twenty-eighth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and ninety.

SCHEDULE.

REGULATIONS.—CANTEENS.

1. Canteens may be established at military camps of exercise, or other assemblies of Volunteers, under the authority and supervision of the Senior Officer Commanding the Force so assembled (hereinafter referred to as “the Senior Commanding Officer”).

2. Every canteen is to remain closed between tattoo and 10 a.m. daily, also during the hours of Divine service on Sundays, and at such other times as may be deemed necessary by the Senior Commanding Officer.

3. A piquet is invariably to be detailed for duty at the canteen to preserve order, and the canteen will be frequently visited by the officers of the day to see that no irregularity takes place.

4. In case of disorderly behaviour, or for other cause that may appear sufficient to the Senior Commanding Officer, the canteen may be closed absolutely at any time by order of such officer, and the canteen tenant shall have no claim for compensation for any loss sustained by reason of such closing of the canteen.

5. Canteens being established for the exclusive use and convenience of the troops, civilians are not to be served by canteen tenants unless in the company of a member of the force.

6. No gambling will be allowed in the canteen, and no intoxicating or malt liquors of any description are to be served to any one appearing to be intoxicated.

7. A scale of charges is to be posted in one or more conspicuous positions in the canteen.

8. All liquors and store on sale are to be subject to inspection by the Commanding Officer or Medical Officer at any time, and these officers may forbid the sale and order the removal of any articles they may consider to be of bad quality.

9. Every applicant to hold a canteen shall, when practicable, obtain a conditional license under “The Licensing Act, 1881.” Where the absence of any such license is satisfactorily accounted for, however, to the Senior Commanding Officer, a canteen may be held upon such conditions and the payment of such fees as the said Commanding Officer may determine, subject to the provisions of these regulations.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the Right Honourable William Hillier, Earl of Onslow, of Onslow in the County of Salop; Viscount Cranley, of Cranley in the County of Surrey; Baron Onslow, of Onslow in the County of Salop, and of West Clandon in the County of Surrey; Baron Cranley, of Imbercourt; Baronet; Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George; Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over Her Majesty's Colony of New Zealand and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same; and issued under the Seal of the said Colony, at Auckland, this twenty-seventh day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety.
