The executive part of the interior economy of Batteries depends upon them, and from their constant presence with their Batteries they have the opportunity of observing and checking all irregularities. 99. They are responsible that the Standing Orders of the Regiment, both in regard to themselves and every Non-commissioned Officer and gunner in the Battery to which they belong, are strictly adhered-to. 100. The situation of a Battery Sergeant Major is one of high respectability ; but it depends on their own assiduity and character whether or not they meet with that attention the appointment entitles them to. 101 They must be familiar with tho name, residence and character of every man in the Battery, and must be an example of obedience, zeal and activity.

[ I 24 STANDING ORDERS OP THK hi 1 1 S' •u 'i .'• < in If SECTION VI. NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS AND MEN. 107. TLe exceUency of a Brigade or Batterj de- pends m a great measure on the conduct of its Non- commissioned Officers; from them is expected the strictest attention to aJl their duties, the greatest sobriety and regularity of conduct, and attention to dress and appearance. They must insist on strict and prompt compHance with their orders, but at the same time use their authority with discretion, and never allow themselves to be influenced by prejudice or per- sonal ill-will towards any individual. 108. Non-commissioned Officers should be perfectly acquainted with all driUs, and be quahfied to teach recruits every part of their duties, and they are to take the greatest care in instructing them; and m doing this they must avoid all harshness or impatience, and should be careful not to fatigue the men by keeping them long in one position. 109. Non-commissioned Officers must never make use of abusive or improper language to the men. Ihey arc never to suffer a reply when on parade or other duty. 110. Non-commissioned Officers must exact atten- tion, obedience, alertness and precision in all move- ments and drills, giving the words of command in a decided and authoritative voice. 111. Non-commissioned Officers must be perfectly QUEBEC aARRISON ARTILLERY. 25 acquainted with every man in their subdivisions, and answer readily any question concerning them. 112. They must never strike a soldier, or swear at him, or use harsh or violent measures, or call him by opprobious names. 113o They are at all times to pay the greatest atten- tion to the soldierlike appearance and behaviour of the men, both in and out of quarters. 114. Much misconduct of the men towards Non- commissioned Oflficers arises from their not supporting a proper and equal authority ; for if they allow famili- arity at any time, when they are placed in situations where it becomes necessary to exert their authority, they will find it weakened, and this produces hesita- tion and delay, two serious evils in the service where promptitude in giving and alacrity in obeying orders are so essential. 115. Non-commissioned Officers are never to make use of coarse, violent, or intemperate language towards the men ; they are to give their orders plainly and decidedly, in as few words as possible. 116. They must reflect that example is better than precept, therefore it becomes their interest, as well as duty, to be correct in their own conduct. 117. Non-commissioned Officers and Gunners are to pay the proper compliment to all Officers of the Army, Navy, Militia, and Voluateers, when in uniform, and soldiers are to salute all officers and Military Chap- lains, whom they know to be such, whether dressed ._!/•_ lu uuliurm Or iiOi. B 26 STANDING ORDERS OF THE 118. When a soldier speaks to an Oflficer he is to stand at rttenuon, as on parade, — having saluted the Officer on approaching him. 119. When he comeis into a room he is to do the same, and to take off his cap or busby. 120. When passing an Officer he will salute with his outward hand to his cap, looking the Officer in the face whilst passing him. 121. All good Volunteers will, for their own credit, be obedient to their Officers, attentive to the care of their arms and accoutrements, as well as exact in the discharge of their duties, and always neatly and regi- mentally dressed ; by these means they will show to their Officers that they feel an interest in the credit of the Corps, which will secure them every proper indul- gence, comfort and advantage which their situations can afford, and preclude the necessity of that most painful part of an Officer's duty, the inflicting of pun- ishment on those whom they only wish to benefit as their comrades in arms. 122. Non-commissioned Officers and men when in uniform are on no account to smoke in the streets. 123. The first principle that is to be instilled into the mind of every Volunteer, is strict obedience to orders, zeal for the service and an anxious desire to support the character and credit of his own particular regiment ; these sentiments will lead him to an honour- able and punctual discharge of all his duties, his occu- pation will be a pleasure rather than a task, and pun- QUEBEC GARRISON ARTILLERY. 27 ishment will only be necessary for the idle and unprmcipled. Good conduct will always meet its reward. Irregularity and drunkenness will be severely punished. 124. There must be no talking while on parade. 125. No man is to reply to an Officer or Non-com- missioned Officer when found fault with on duty or in the ranks. 126. Every Volunteer will be treated with the strictest justice ; if any man has real cause for com- plaint, he must make it through the Officer command- ing his Battery ; and without meaning to encourage trifling complamts, of which every good soldier should be ashamed, it is to be clearly understood, that all real grievances shall be redressed. 127. A Volunteer who is not properly dressed is on no account to salute ; he is to stand at attention till the Officer passes. The same rule is to be observed by a soldier who may be carrying anything that pre- vents him from saluting properly. 128. No Non-commissioned Officer or soldier present with the Brigade, is to address an Officer in writing on any subject connected with duty. 129. While seniority will generally give the right of promotion, yet, if a Non-commissioned Officer is careless, negligent, or indifferent to his duties, he can never expect preferment to the prejudice of the service. 130. Non-commissioned Officers may be reduced to the ranks for neglect of duty or inefficiency on report of a Hcgimentai Court of Inquiry. 28 STANDING ORDERS OF THE ll'i 1 1 ii; lir SECTION VIL FUNDS. 131.
