All existing Codes of Instruction with their several Forms are hereby cancelled. By order of H. E. the Commander in Chief. P. L. MacDOUGALL, Col. A. G.

All regularly enrolled Volunteers who refuse or neglect to turn out with their corps when properly warned for actual service, are liable to be tried by a Court Martial for such refusal or neglect which amounts to de- sertion. 2. All that is necessary to constitute notice to a Volunteer to join his Company on actual service, is that he shall be duly notified either by the Captain personally or by one of the Officers or Serjeants of the Com- pany under his orders. 3. The manner of notifying shall be as follows, viz : The Officer or Serjeant whose duty is to warn the men of his Com- pany shall be provided with a blank roll, the heading of which shall be as follows : ■ ' ■•■'■ •''!•.. ■ _, ;.,.,-. .f J M.,-.c H. E. the Commander-in-Chief lias been pleased to order the Battalion (or Company, as the case may be) to be placed on actual service, and to muster at o'clock at This heading will be read to every man, who will then sisfn his name in acknowledgment of his having received notice. Should he refuse tr sign his name, a remark will be made to that efl'ect by the notifying Officer or Serjeant, and signed by a witness who will invariably accompany him. 4. The Officer Commanding will lose no time in arresting all such Volunteers belonging to his Company or Battalion, as the case may be, and reporting the same to the District Staff' Officer. 5. The District Staff' Officer will be at the disposal of the M. General for Militia purposes, and will bo the channel of communication between the Volunteers and the M. General on all matters relating to discipline ; and Note.— Distiict Staff (Jfficers Pignify the Assistants or Deputy Assistants Adjutant General of the District ; and the lottci-s C. O, signify Commanding Oflicor. 6 between the Volunteers and the Adjutant General's Department on all matters relating to equipment, finance, appointments and promotions. 6. It must be distinctly understood that the Adjutant General is solely responsible to the Government for all expenditure on Militia account, and that he alone under the Minister of Militia, has power to authorize such expenditure. Whenever therefore any unauthorized expense is incurred on an emergency it must be immediately reported for the approval of the Adjt. General ; and it would be well that the report should always be accompanied by a minute of the M. General of the district that in his opinion the service for which the expense had been incurred was absolutely necessary. ' " ; 7. District Staff Officers arc authorized on an emergency to make requi- sition by order on the imperial stores for articles which may be indispensa- ble to the proper equipment of the men of their divisions, should the local Provincial stores be unable to supply them. But a duplicate of such requisi- tion must invariably be forwarded to the Adjutant General's Depart- ment at Ottawa, and must invariably specify the corps to which the seve- ral articles have been issued. 8. When a volunteer corp.^ is placed on service the C. 0. will, imme- diately after the first muster parade, forward to the District Staff Officer an exact return of his strength in officers and men, so that no time may be lost in forwarding the pay and subsistence money of his corps, and no pay can be issued until such return has been received. ' 9. The District Staff Officers will, on receipt of ihe returns from the volunteer corps on service in their districts, forward to the Adjutant General at Ottawa, with tlie least possible delay, a general return sliewing the strength of these corps by stations, and will immediately notify any changes of station that may take place. They will require the district paymasters to attend daily at their office toobtain the strength and stations of the difl'erent corps, and the alterations; which may take place from day to day. 10. In the event of a portion of a Battalion being called out in future, no Regimental Stafl' Officer will accompany it without a special order. % i '{ Rates of Pay and Allowances.

I These Officers are to be included for pay and allowances in the Form C with their Men. / The rates of pay for each non-commissioned officer and man shall be as follows for their respective grades : R(inlc.

No Reffimenttl Staff' Officer can, under any circumstances receive pay unless he has been regularly appointed to the Battalion or Provisional Battalion. 2. No pay can be granted for Brevet Bank of any kind j nor on account of half or unattached pay. 1. The N. C. O. and privates shall receivo free lodgings and rations. All officers and men of mounted corps will receive a daily allowance of 2f cents in lieu of forage for each horse. 2. Where a corps placed on service remains at its permanent head quarters, a daily allowance will b3 credited to each man, not exceeding, and in lieu of, the prescribe \ rate of ration allowance, unless some of the men live at such a distance as to render it necessary to billet them at the head quarters of their company, in which case a daily sum of 40 cents will be allowed for each man so billeted. 3. And wherever volunteers are accommodated in billets by agreement ■with householders the daily rate of such billet shall not exceed 40 cents. I Duties of District Paymasters. MODE OF PAYMENT. 1. The mode of paying corps called out on actual service, will be by making weekly advances on account, as heretofore, (vide Form B.) the same to be deducted from the final issue of pay when the corps is released from duty. 2. To this end a cov^rn^ pay-list (Form C.) will be made up in duplicate, from the day the corps was u.illed out until the day of its release from scr- yicc— both day3 inchu-ive — and sent to the District I'ayinastcr who will examine and certify it, and, after deducting all advances from it, will then issue a cheque for the balance due. One copy of said pay-list will be re- tained by the District Paymaster, and the other will Lj sent to the Depart- ment in support of his accounts. 3. In the event {)( a corps being kept on service for more than one month, the covering pay-list will b«> rendered as above, at the end of every month. 4. It nnist be distinctly understood that the covering pay-list lias nc re- ferencc to billet alloivanee or rations f»)r the men, the weekly Al)stracl Receipt, (Form G.) for that service, duly completed, being all that is reciuircd from the District Paymasters in support of their accounts. > 5. Simultaneously with the calling out of the force for service the Militia Department will immediately telegraph to some Bank in the District to credit the District Paymaster with a sum of not less than one week's pay and subsisience for the estimated force placed on duty in that district, based on the estimate which should be immediately transmitted by telegram by the District Staff Officer, in anticipation of the corrected requisition {Form A.) by Post. 6. The District paymaster will then distribute by cliequc, either to the difl'erent battalion or detachment paymasters, or to the C. O's of detached Companies, weekly in advince, a sum of money equal to one week's pay of his men. This will be done immediately on, and not until, the receipt by the District Paymaster of Form B. properly filled in and signed by the C. 0. and paymaster of the Battalion or detachment, or by the officer commanding the detached company. 7. Receipts (Form H.) should be taken, in duplicate, for all such advances — one to be retained by the paymaster as his own voucher, the other to be forwardttd to the Dept. in support of his accounts. 8. The District Paymaster will similarly, on the receipt of (Form D.) properly filled in, send cheques to the dittbrent paymasters or captains, as the case may be, for payment in arrear of one week's billet money, if the men are in billets, or of one week's subsistence (Form K.) if the men are in camp or barracks. 9. The account current (Form E.) will be completed by the District Pay- master at the end of the month, and immediately sent to Head Quarters with all necessary vouchers to enable the D 'j)artment to :;heck and compare it with th(! advances made to him during the Monlh in question. 10. For any contingent expenses which C. O's may be aulhori/ed to incur, the C. O. will forward weekly an account direct to the District Staf! Ollii^er, who will a-iihorize the payment of the same by the District Paymaster. 11. Accounts for any unauthorized contingent expenses ineiirred by Officers on their own responsibility, will be forward*^! for eonsivleration through the District Stalf Officers to the Deputy Adjutant General of Militia at Ottawa. 12. When corps are moved from one district to another, the Com- manding Officer rhould take with him a certificate from the District Pay- I 10 master shewing the date up to which the corps has been paid, which certificate should be attached to the pay-list for the first issue of pay made by the Paymaster of the district to which the corps has been sent. Duties of Battalion or Detachment Paymasters. 1 . Every Battalion will, of course, be provided with a Regular Paymaster. . In every Detachment of not less than iive Companies, an officer will be appointed to act as Paymaster, with a Sergeant as Clerk, and will receive Paymasters' pay : * Where tivo and not more than four Companies are quartered together, an Officer will be detailed to act as both pay and quarter-master, with Paymaster's pay, and will be responsible for the cor- rect and punctual fulfilment of the duties prescribed for each. Where a ))ost consists of one Company only or a part of a Company, tiie officer in command is responsible for the due performance of the duties prescribed lor the Paymajster and Quarter- Master. 2. Every Paymaster will immediately on being placed ctn actual service draw up an accurate ncm-nal and numerical roll of tlic men of his Batta- lion or Detachment, with a column of remarks shewing when any man becomes non-eft'ective. 3. He will lose no time in forwarding to the District Paymaster form H. (or ii week's pay in advance. 4. H(5 will notify the Di^strict Paymaster at the same time whetiier there is a Branch Bank at the post where Government elieques can be cashed, •or, if not, of the near'st place where such Branch Bank «'xists. 5. If no Bank exists at the post, he will ascertain whether the principal 8tore-keep • Note. — TliU will not bo in addition to his rogiinciitnl pay t)ut incliwivo thoroof. \}) 11 6. Where it is impossible to obtain money on the spot the Paymaster must make a weekly journey to the nearest place where money is obtain- able i a exchange for the cheques. 7. A week's pay in advance for his men should thus be in possession of the Paymaster, who will on receiving the money distribute it to the Officers commanding companies in two payments each week. 8. The Paymaster will keep a regular book account with each Captain of a Company, and will obtain the Captain's signature in the book opposite to every payment. 9. When rations are supplied to Volunteers by the regular Commissariat, the charges for rations against each Battalion will be paid by the Pay- master, on the vouchers of the Ration returns or requisitions. * 10. Similarly where transport is provided for Volunteers by the Com- missariat, the charges for the transport against eacli Battalion will be paid by the Paymaster on the vouciiers of the requisitions. * 11. The Paymaster will forward at the end of each week to the District Paymaster a requisition (Form D.) aporoved by the Commanding Officer and certified by the Paymaster and Quarter Master, for money sufficient to pay for the board and lodging of the force, if the men have been boarded and lodget' by agretMiir'nt, or for the mere Billet money if the men have l)cen Billett(!d under the Act; and on the receipt ol the money the paymaster will hand it over to the Caplainn of Companies in tlieir proper respective proportions, who will personally pay the a aounts due to the several lu)us(!-h()l(lers, one wilness per company being invariably present and witnessing the receipts, an abstract of which (F'orm G.) will be forwarded to the District Paymasters. M. Similarly if the men are in (ramp or barracks, the Paymaster will forward a weekly recinisition for money on torm F\. sullieient to pay the dill'erent contractors for provisions, and he will inunediately on the receipt of the money settle with each contractor in presence of an Officer or Serg«'ant as witness, and will forward to the district Paymaster an abstract (Form G.) with aceountji attached in fvdl : the abstract will thus shew a receipted weekly account from each contractor, duly witnessed. • A')/.'. — Ifif xlioald not ln'cmivt'niont for tli(> rc^'iilnr ( oniiui.sHariat to miiko up their ftcootmtH lor nitionH or tranHport a^aiiiHt Volunteer Hattalions weekly, tliese dmrgoB will lie paid in the grons either l>v tlie Oistiiet payniMHters or by the iMilitiii Depnrtraent at ( ttuva, m may lu realtor lio doterniined. 12 13. A duplicate of the above receipt (form GOwill invariably be kept by the Paymaster. 14. If District or other Paymasters choose to employ, for the purpose of paying Volunteers in their districts, Agents who are not duly authorized for that service, they will do so on their own responsibility and at their own risk ; any loss which they may incur by such a proceeding will fall on themselves alone. Duties of Quarter Masters. 1. The appointment of Quarter Master is one of at least as great impor- tance to the comfort and health of tiie soldier as that of Surgeon. The services of the latter are only /'ecjuired in exceptional cases, to repair health which has been injured. The labors of the former concern every man in tile battalion, and are directed to maintaining him in health and vigour ; and his duties require a clear head and untiring assiduity : Ci*mmanding Officers should therefore be most careful in the selections they make for the post of Quarter Master. •2. In all cases where there is no regular Commissariat, all necessary transport will be provided by the Quarter ISIaster, under the directions of the Commanding Ollicer, as preserii)ed elsewhere under tlif head of Instructions to Commanding Ollieen'. 3. In all cases when; there is a regular Commissariat Olllcer, he will provide transport on tlu; recpiisition of the Quarter Master of each battalion approved by the (commanding Ollicfr. 4. When a battalion or detachment is ordert>tl to proceed to any post away from its own head (piarters, it should !nvariai)ly be preceded by a field odicer or exijcrienced cantain accompanied i)v tin; Quarter Muster, and by a steady non-eonimissionrd ollieer, with one uum per company, who will make anangenn-nts for sheltering the men if unprovided with tents, as well as for the necessary supplies of food. 5. Where the mem are to be irj billets, the (iuurter Master will iMideavour in all cases to procure them by agreement with tlie househoUh'rs, at a ratei > ► 5 13 for the board and lodging of each man, not exceeding 40 cents per day ; should this be impracticable, recourse must be had to compulsory billeting in the manner prescribed by the militia law ( see sections 69, 70 and 71 Volunteer Militia Act, page 27, appendix I. ) 6. Care must be taken that the billets arc not too widely scattered, and that they are as nearly as possible grouped within a circle of which the alarm post ir, the centre. The commanding officer's quarters should always, if possible, be the alarm post. 7. The billet arrangements should be completed before the arrival of the force, so that the men may not be kept waiting. The one man previovisly detached from each company would shew the billets allotted for his company. 8. In all cases the officer charged with the billet arrangements should wait first on the Chief Magistrate of the place, and request his assistance and induence with the householders, which will much simplify the work. 9. Every captain should have a list of his company billets so that if sud- denly moved no delay in })ayment should occur. 10. Where the men are l)oarded and lodged by agreement, a bed and sufficient covering must invariably be provided. 11. Where recourse is had to compulsory billeting the officer charged with the arrangement shall make requisition according to Form (F.) on the Chief Magistrat(; or any Justice of the Peace for billets for the re- quired number of men. 12. Eacii householder is obliged under tlie act to furnish house-room, candles, and fire and utensils for cooking, for which he is entitled to be paid at the rate of 10 cents per day for each man, {nee sections 69, 70, 71, Volunteer Militia Act, page 27, Appendix 1.) 13. VVhere the men are l)illeted under the Act, or when they are in camp or barracks, the Quarter Mas.er must provide daily rations. 14. Where Volunteers are serving in the field with regulars as will most commonly be the case, the Commissariat Department will supply Volunteer Quarter-Masters, in bulk, who will distribute to their diflercnt corps. 15. For this purpose the Quarter Master will prepare and forward such requisitions, ai)proved by the Commanding Officer, as may be prescribed by the Conunissariat Officer. 14 Instructions for commanding Officers of Corps. ii 1. When a Volunteer Corps is ordered to be placed on actual service, the Officei commanding shall immediately notify or cause to be notified the men under his command in the manner prescribed on the first page of these regulations. 2. The Commanding Officer will immediately, after the first parade, forward to the district Staff Officer an exact return of his strength in officers and men, without the receipt of which no pay can be issued. • 3. He will require the paymaster to draw up a nominal roll of the men under hi« command, with a column of remarks which shall shew when any man became non-effective. 4. H" will, at the first muster parade, personally ascertain that each man is in possession of the articles of equipment below enumerated and will immediately report any deficiencies to tlie District Staff Officer. 1 rifle with small stores complete. 1 set of accoutrements capable of carrying 60 rounds. 1 knapsack and straps complete, with canteen, f 1 haversack. Sixty rounds of ball ammunition, with the proper proportion of caps. 1 water bottle or canteen. 1 great coat. 1 change shirt, flannel or cotton, 1 do. pair socks, 1 do. boots or shoes, Needle and liiread, Knife, fork, sjwon, tin plate. Piece of soft soap, Towel, brush and comb. Should be in every man's knapsack, provided by the men themselves. • Note. — In country districts, tho Captains of Companies not present at the head quajtors of their batUilion, will Ito responsihlo for due performance of tho duties pre- scrilied in this and the foregoing paragrapli. Tlie return of their strength will bo for- warded to tho Commanding OHiceroftho battalion, if they form part of n battalion, or to the District Stnfi" ( )fllcer direct, if thoy do not. f Niile. — Until the arrivftl of knnpsncks from Englaml, tlioso corps not now provided witli knapsacks will have one set of gieat coat straps for each man instcjwl, in this case tli(! canteen will be deficient, and its placo must bo Buppliei :> . , ., 6. Where a corps placed on actual service remains at its permanent Head" Quarters, the Commanding Officer will see that the regulations with respect to the payment of the men, and the payment of the billets and rations, laid down in the instructions to Paymasters and Quarter-Masters, are strictly observed. l ; ; 7. When a corps is moved from its permanent Head Quarters, by- Steamboat, Railroad or by marching : Commanding Officers will observe the regulations prescribed for those cases on page 19. 8. The prime necessities of a soldier on service, supposing him to be- otherwise properly equipped, are food and ammunition. 9. In the Volunteer service where no regular Commissariat and transport departments exist, a great deal must depend on the individual zeal and. intelligence of Volunteer Officers in Command. 10. On being suddenly detached to any place where there is no certainty of obtaining immediate supplies, the Commanding Officer must always take with him one day's supply of bread and cooked meat * in the men's haversacks ; and a supply of bread and meat for at least one day in addition, in waggons. 11. Each man's food for one day weighs 2 J lbs. ; the food for cue Company of 53 men would weigh 132 lbs. ; and as the meat ought not to be too closely packed, one ordinary waggon should he apportioned to carry one day's food for 8 such Companies. 12. In hot weather as it would be difficult to carry meat without spoiling, salt pork or beef should be taken instead of fresh meat ; where this cannot be procured bread alone should be carried. 13. In the last case one waggon should carry one day's consumption of bread for IG companies. 1 4. The quarter master should invariably precede the column by one day if possible to make arrangement for a regular supply of bread and meat at the place of destination. • Note.— It must be remembered that cooked moat freezes in winter. m 13. The Rations must be examined by the " Orderly Officer " every morn- ing, who will report to the Commanding Officer if the same or any part thereof be not according to Contract., and the Commanding Officer will forthwith appoint a Board who will have power to condemn all or any part of them if found not according to contract, and a similar quantity in their stead will be purchased at the expense of the Contractor ; a proviso to this effect should be made in all the local contracts. 16. Any commanding officer detached with any probability of meeting r,n enemy should invariably carry with him in waggons a reserve supply of ammunition, over and above the 60 rounds per man in the pouches, of at least 50 rounds per man. ,,.••,..,• , 17. A company of 55 men would require a reserve of 2750 rounds packed in 6 boxes, each weighing 551bs ; or in 4 quarter barrels, each weighing 74 lbs, and each waggon should therefore, on the average, carry the reserve ammunition lor 5 companies. 18. Every officer detached on an independent command must procure the amount of transport he may require for any or all of the above services, as the case may be, either by private agreement or in the manner prescribed by the Volunteer Militia Act, sections 76 and 77. (See page 28, Appendix 2.)* 19. Commanding Officers may also provide transport for camp equipage (when furnished), at the rate of one waggon for every 26 tents complete. Also for officers' light baggage, at the rate of one waggon for each bat- talion of 8 companies, f 20. And for any other purpose which in their discretion may be required, but the officer will be held pecuniarily responsible that he does not engage more transport than is absolutely necessary. 21. Parties furnishing transport will be paid for the same by requisition, (Form I,) on the District Staft' Officer, who will after examining the claims, order them to be paid, if he approves, by the District Paymaster. 22. The Officer commanding a Battalion or Detachment is responsible for the proper performance of the duties of the Paymaster and Quarter- Masler as laid down elsewhere in these instructions, as well as for those of all the Officers under his command. • Not3. — In all cases where there is a regular ("ommissariat Officer, ho will supply tlic necoasary transport on requisition certified by the Quarter Master and approved by iho Commanding Officer. t Note.— Each Officer's baggage shall not oxcood 1 roll of bedding, 1 small valise. 17 23. CaptainsofCornpaniefj will personally pay tlic men of their Companies twice every week. i tiii H'VJ! H 24. Captains of Companies will personally pay the billet accounts of the men of their Companies punctually v'very Saturday, or before marching away. 25. The money for these purposes will be handed them by the Paymaster. 26. Commanding Officers are never to receive supplies of any description either from individuals or communities, without giving a formal receipt for the same, oi which they will immediately forward a duplicate to the Dis- trict Staff Officer. , .;, : . i:r;4rtv-,r -Hi; "! r will select the weakest point in the enemy's line for attack, and will direct a numljcr of fili-s to converge on that point at full speed sufiicient to over- come resist;mee.
