W. H. BRADFORD, Col. Lieut. Cot. Comm'a. STANDING ORDERS. OFFICERS ON REGIMENTAL DUTY. 1. When the number of Officers at a post admit of it, there will be a Captain and a Subaltern on duty. The Captain from Rouse on Sunday morning until the following Sunday at the same hour ;— the Subaltern from Rouse on one day until Rouse the next. 2. If the number of Officers wiU not allow of the Captains having at least two weeks, and the Subalterns five days clear then the Orderly Officers' duty will be taken from the Senior Cap- tain to the Junior Subaltern. 3. As it is difficult to draw up a Report suitable to all posts and circumstances, a form for the time being wiU always be found for reference in the Orderly Room. The Report will be numbered by paragraphs, and in the event of any portion of the duties not being performed, the number of the paragraph must nevertheless be inserted, and opposite to it the rea- son for the omission. The Captain wiU send in a report of what he has done with any remarks he has to make. He may caU upon the Orderly Officer to perform any of his own duties, and in Uke mamier he may notify to tht Subaltern that he wiU take certain portions of the duties of the latter. In these cases, he will add to his own report what duties he has performed for the Subaltern, who is to be considered a sort of auxiliary to the Captain. 4. As the Captain is on for a whole week, he need not confine himself to Barracks ; but the Subaltern must not leave them unless temr)OrflrilV n^linporl frt Ar. o/^ A,^-^ j.r - i » , . , . ^ -"'' -"'-o-^ vo «u dO irom liiu naiiure oi ins duties. m 6 5. When an Orderly Officer is stationed out of Barracks, he must confine himself to his quarters when not actually out on duty. Orderly Officers will attend all parades and drills with their Companies, unless otherwise ordered. 6. An Orderly Officer visiting a guard, acts for the time bemg as an officer on guard. He should enter the guard room, examine the boards of orders, and everything under charge. He will visit the sentnes by day and night, observe whether they are soldier-like and alert on their posts, and personally ascertain that they know their orders. Officers are specially warned against that worse than use- less mode of visiting a guard, which consists only in receiving its salute. Guards must be turned out at least once by day and once by mght,— the day reckoning between guard-mounting and retreat, the mght between that time and reveille. Ten o'clock p. m. is, from the custom of the service, recognised as the earUest hour for the mght visit. The Orderly Officer, however, wiU not confine hmiself to any particular time, if he has reason to suspect laxity or irregularity. "^ A loose way of doing sentry duty appears to be very readily faUen mto by old soldiers, and the Lieutenanl^Coloael calls not only upon the officers on duty, but all officers and non-commissioned officers, to notice and report any mstance of this that they observe on their walks. 7. In the event of any complaint being made against rations of provisions, fuel, light, or forage, at the time of inspection, the Orderly Officer will stop the issue and report at once to the com- manding or senior officer in barracks. (For further information in a ease of this kind, see Commissariat Regulations.) Any complaint made of rations after they are cooked, will be noticed in his report, imless the grievance was one that he was able to remedy then and there. "^ 8. The Orderly Officer will refrain from ordering men any pun- ishment for irregularities that may come under his notice, but he wiU direct a report; in writing to be made to the Captain of the Com. pany, who will either dispose of the matter or submit it, if necessary, to the Commanding Officer. When such a cafle is settled by the Captain, he viQ write upon the report; the punishment he ordered, and forward the same to the Orderly Room.

The practice of the Orderly Officer allowing men who have been reported abseat from Tattoo, but returning before « Lights out,'* to go to their rooms, has a bad tendency and must be discountenanced Once a man is reported absent, he is guilty of a breach of reffi- V ^ons, and should be confined and brought before the Commanding 10.

The Serjeant Instructor of Musketry of the Officer Instructor. The Pay-Master Serjeant of the Pay Master; and the Hospital Serjeant of the Medical Officer in charge. The Orderly Room Clerk is under the Adjutant. The Armourer Serjeant is to be considered especially under the Quarter Maater,>t will take orders from OffiVers Commanding Companies maU matters relating to aims.

As the Staflf Serjeants are thus placed under the direct con- trol of the Officers at the head of the several regimental depart- ments, interference with their duties on the part of other Officers should be, whenever possible, avoided ; any necessary report on their conduct being made afterwards either to the head of the de- partment, or the Commanding Officer. These directions must not be considered by the Staff Serjeant aa giving countenance for a moment's hesitation on his part to obey an order given by a superior, obedience being the first duty of every soldier. Assistants to any of the Staff Serjeants are requested to be dealt with in the same spirit, so far as matters relating to their office are concerned. 3. The Hospital Serjeant bemg responsible for the kits, clothing and other property of patients admitted into hospital, it is expected that he will report to he Commanding Officer any deviation from the provisions of para/ raph 2, page 9, regarding men's necessaries. REGIMENTAL ORDERLY SERJEi^NT. 1. On posts where two or more Companies are stationed, there will be a Non Commissioned Officer (full rank if possible) warned daily for the above duty, who will be styled the " Regimental Or- derly Serjeant." He will be on duty from guard mounting to guard mounting. He will assist the Orderly Officer, and accompany him in his visits to the Barrack rooms, his inspection of rations, to evening parade, and the collection of reports at Tattoo. He will visit the canteen frequently, and take notice of any irregularity. He will be held responsible for the general cleanliness of the Barracks, and attend to such orders as he may receive from the Quarter Master on this point. He will see that the urine tubs belonging to the single men's rooms are taken to the places appointed for them, and partly filled with clean water, within one hour from Rouse sounding. In frosty weather the putting water into these tubs may bo dispensed with. On accompanying the Orderly Officer round the Barrack rooms at breakfast hour, he will collect from the Orderlies of Com- S| ^m the direct con- imental depart- f other Officers isary report on lead of the de- taff Serjeant as is part to obey le first duty of 9 panics the reports of men, women and children going sick, and hand the same to the Regimental Orderly Corporal 2. The Regimental Orderly Serjeant will not on any account leave the Barracks during his tour of duty, and will at all times appear properly dressed, and with side arms. 3. On detachments consisting of one Company only, or under particular circumstances, the duties of the Regimental Orderly Serjeant, may at the discretion of the Officer Commanding, be added to those of the Company Orderly. jted to be dealt their office are e kits, clothing , it is expected deviation from I's necessaries, NT. tationed, there ssible) warned Legimental Or- ard mounting, im in his visits ^ening parade, it the canteen 'e will be held ks, and attend Master on this to the single 3m, and partly sounding.

When the number of Non Commissioned Officers at a post will admit of it, a Lance Corporal will be detailed daily, who will be called the " Regimental Orderly Corporal," and take his duties from rouse to rouse. 2. On his receiving the sick reports from the Regimental Orderly Serjeant, as directed in paragraph 1, page 8, he will make out a report as per Form 22. He will direct the orderly bugler to sound for Company's Orderlies at 8.30 a.m. in summer and 9.30 a.m. in wmter, and receive over from them all men reported sick and all convalescents, tvitJi the kits of men reported sick and their lists of necessaries. 3. He will march the men to uospital and remain there until the Medical Officer makes his morning visit. He will lay the report Form 22, before the Medical Officer who will mark against their names how the men are disposed of. He will then return to Bar- racks and report to the Orderlies of Companies to which the sick men belong, whether they have been admitted to hospital or other- wise. This report will be handed to the Serjeant Major. 4. He will also receive from the Orderlies of Companies the names of all women and children reported sick and too ill to attend Hospital, which he will hand over to the Medical Officer. See Form No 20. 5. The Medical Officer may, if he thinks proper, call upon the Regimental Orderly Corporal to accompany him in his visits to those women and children who are reported sick. He will again visit the hospital at such hour as may bo named by the Medical Officer, 10 and maxch all men diacharged from hospital into Barracks, deliver- mg them over to the Orderlies of Companies. 6. He will call at the Serjeant Major's quarters on the first buele soundmg for Officers' Mess, and receive from hiir. the Leginiental Order book for the purpose of shewing orders to the Staff Officers which duty must be performed before the second bugle sounds for Officers' Mess. 7. He will not on any account leave the Barracks, except in the performance of his duty, and will at all times appear properly dressed and with side arms. COMPANY ORDERLY. 1. There wUl be an Orderly Non Commissioned Officer for each Company. His duty will commence on Sundays after the is.^,uing of the regimental orders for the day, and continue mitU the next bunday at the same hour, both the old and new Orderly Attending tor orders on that day. 2. This duty wiU be taken from the Senior Serjeant (Pay Ser- jeants excepted) down to the junior Lance Corporal of the Com- pany. He will call the roll of the Company m the different Barrack rooms half an hour after rouse sounding, also after the quarter bugle for each meal and the first post for Tattoo.

The Company Order Book will be by him taken to morning parade, for the orders of the preceding day being read by the Officer commanding the Company. 5. He alone is responsible for the correct keeping of the Com- pany duty roster, and consequently no other man will be allowed to make any entries therein. 6. He will submit to the Pay Serjeant the names of all men either admitted to, or discharged from, hospital or confinement, also of every circumstance affecting the payor rations of the men of the Company. 7. He will show all crimes to the Pay Serjeant before they are sent to the Captain for signature, and will report verbally to the Adjutant and Serjeant Major when any man of his Company is con- fined.

PAY SERJEANTS. 1. The duties of Pay Serjeants are so various that i Ul be only practicable to set some of them forth under the he.a 11 structions. Though the Captain is not only Tn a^ tigs If rl ponsible person but one who has so much in his power >lh lard ot the Pay Serjeant cannot be too much looked to and his no/ ^on respected From his more immediate contact with the^^^^^^^^ 7l:7ZVfT' ''' *T ^' *^^ ^^" Commissioned bffi! cers and men of his Company.

In addition to his being thoroughly acquainted with his own duties, he should be able to instruct all under him in theirs. Being termed " Company In- structor " in the Instruction of Musketry book, the knowledge of this has also to be acquired. 3. In addition, it is the duty of these Non Commissioned Offi- cers, as well as their interest, to qualify for the more important positions of Regimental Serjeant Major, and Quarter Master Ser- jeant. On all detachments they have every opportunity of learn- ing these duties by actual practice. At Head Quarters they may have the opportunity given them of drillmg defaulters or marked men at any convenient time, and the Quarter Master is requested to encourage them to devote a spare hour occasionally towards learning the duties of his office. The Commanding Officer consi- ders it his duty, both for the good of the service and that of the Regiment, to see that the situations of Serjeant Major and Quarter Master Serjeant, shall be filled by the men best qualified without reference to seniority. 4. The Pay Serjeant makes out all returns connected with the pay, rations, clothing, or other allowances of the soldier. In short he makes out every return and document connected with his Com- pany, except those belonging to the Company Orderly. 5. He keeps the accounts between the soldier and the Captam, ' and for this duty he will be paid by the Captain, out of his contin- g )nt allowance, the sum of 8 pence sterling per diem. He should attend if possible at the taking or giving over of Barracks to be occupied or vacated by his Company, also at all Barrack inspections. On these occasions he should note all damages or deficiencies in the different rooms, so that when the bill for damages is presented against the Company, he may be able to charge each individual with his fair share. (For further particulars on this head see "Barrack damages," par. 1, page 73, also par. 7, page 17.) 6. On all occasions of drawing bedding from store, or exchanging these or barrack utensils after an inspection, he will personally attend, assisted bj the Company Orderly, taking steps to trace the owners of any extra dirty, or damaged bedding, so that they may be held to pay for the same ; and payment incurred for such 'li 1 to his being )uld be able to " Company In- i knowledge of imissioned Ofl5- nore important ier Master Ser- tunity of leam- rters they may ters or marked er is requested ionally towards ; Officer consi- ind that of the or and Quarter lalified without Jarracks to be ,ck inspections, deficiencies in 5S is presented ach individual this head see age 17.) or exchanging v^ill personally 3S to trace the ;hat they may Ted for such 17 things, or for articles deficient, should not be included in the general charge against the Company, but paid for by the persons in fault 7. As It IS scarcely possible that barrack damages can be charged to a Company without a profit or loss on the whole, the fairest way IS for the Pay Serjeant to keep a rumnng account with the Company chargmgon the one side the biU for damages, and crediting oVS other the amount charged the Company in each month. This ac- count to be balanced annually by the Captain. 8. The Pay Serjeant ha«, under the Captain, charge of the arms accoutrements great coats, appointaients, &c., of the Company and must at aJl times be liable to render a correct account of the 9.

The charge for wash- ing when a soldier has been in Hospitd, in confinement, or other- wise absent from his Company, is to be made at the above rate, and according to the number of days he may have been in mess. The whole of ihe stoppages from the soldier's pay must in no caae exceed the following rates, unless at the request of the soldier himself, or by sentence of Court Martial. S. D.

When a soldier is confined and remanded for trial, he will be struck off rations, and subsisted at 6d. the day following his being so remanded. Should he be acquitted of the oflence laid to his charge, or should his punishment be wholly remitted, he will be settled with for his arrears of pay (after deducting the amount issued for his subsistence while awaiting trial). His name will be entered in the pay list in the same manner as though he had been convicted and punished ; the residue of his pay referred to above being entered in the ab- stract as a credit to the Captain. The receipt as per form No. 2, will be forwarded with the pay list. A deserter rejoining, will be subsisted at 6d. per diem from the day on which he is apprehended or surrendered himself, receipts as per form No. 3 being supplied to the Pay Master. 12.

In the event of his not being entitled to any good conduct pay, one penny per diem will be deducted from his ordinary pay, and credited to the public in like manner. 20. The pay of soldiers when in confinement in civil gaols, or garrison or barrack cells, can only be drawn from the public at the rate of 6 pence per diem. No charge is allowed to be made against the public, b^' the regiment, for a soldier in military prison, his subsistence being drawn direct from the pubUc by the prison authorities. 21. Every soldier confined in a military prison, is for the first 28 days of such confinement, liable to a charge of l^d. per diem for the use of prison necessaries. This som is charged direct by the prison authorities, through the Pay Master, against the Captain of the man's company, and will be recovered from the soldier on his release. 22. Soldiers sentenced to suijamary imprisonment by the Com- manding Officer, forfeit pay, iMMkiMt service, for the term of such im- prisonment. 23. A soldier imprisoned by the civil power upon a criminal charge, is subsisted at the rate of 6d. per diem, both before and after conviction. If acquitted he will be settled with in the same way as is a soldier acquitted by Court Martial. See par. 11, p. 18. Before this is done, however, a certificate must be got from the Clerk of the Court at which the soldier was tried, setting forth the charge and the finding of the Court. See 38th clause of the Mutiny Act. 24. It frequently happens that the civil authorities do not de- mand the 6d. per diem for the subsistence of a soldier in gaol after he has been acquitted of a charge. When this is the case the 6d. goes to the credit of the pubUc, not to the soldier. 25. Whenever money is paid to a gaoler for the subsistence of soldiers, his receipt in duplicate should be taken for the same, and forwarded to the Paymaster. 26. A soldier rejoining his regiment after having been convicted ■1 ft 5K; 1— "OtUU ilUpxiovIicu uj cue vivj-tpunf^x ivi a vx iit;iUax vUvJUvvj qUu-iI be completed in necessaries at the public expense, always provided that the charge does not exceed the amount of 3d. per diem for the period of his confinement. 27. A soldier released from confinement previously to the expi- ration of his sentence, will draw pay and rations from the day fol- lowmg the last for which subsistence is demanded by the prison authonties. A certificate in duplicate must be supplied to the Pay- master, shewing by whose authority the release took place, also a memorandum for the Orderly Room at Head Quarters. 28. When a soldier is in confinement either by sentence of Court Martial or other Court, and his punishment expires on the last day ot the Military quarter, a certificate in duplicate must be supplied to the Paymaster by the Commanding Officer, or officer command- ing the Detachment, certifying that the punishment awarded ex- pired on such a date. 29. All soldiers in confinement by Court Martial are released at 7 A.M. on the day on which their punishment expires, receiving pay and rations for that day. The punishment is counted from the day (inclusive) on which the President signed the proceedings. AU soldiers sentenced to summary confinement by the Commanding Officer, are released at 2 p.m. of the day on which their punish- ment expires, and draw pay and rations from the day following. AU pnsoners should invariably be committed to military prisons, gamsonor barrack ceUs, between dimier and evening meal hours. 60. When a soldier dies leaving a will, the balance due to the deceased may at once be paid under such will. The will, however, IS to be forwarded with the non effective returns to the Paymaster as IS also the receipt in dupUcate of the person who receives the' balance When there is no will the soldier's personal property is distributed as shewn in the following table. ^ i" J een convicted 1 22 2 Claimants.

One half. y In ordinary cases when the next of kin is not present with the Kegiment, the balance due to the deceased is credited to the Pay- master through the Company pay list. 31. In every case in which a soldier becomes non eflFective, either by death ordesertion, or in consequence of being sentenced — whether by Court Martial or by the Civil power — to penal servitude, or to four or more years imprisonment, the whole of his effects are imme- diately to be collected and secured. An inventory of them will be taken without loss of time by the Officer in command of the Company, assisted by two other commissioned Officers, as pres- cribed by the Articles of War. The inventory must be completed m duplicate on forms supplied by the War Office, and each copy certified by the Officers employed on the occasion. One copy must be delivered or sent in a sealed cover to the Paymaster, the ether retained by the Officer com- manding the Company, to use when the sale comes off. This shall be at fair and open auction, at a time favourable to the sale, and in presence of the Officer Commanding the Company. If the effects belonged to a soldier deceased, the sale is to be within one month after the date of his death. If to a soldier become non effective 5 sale must not be delayed causes, •7 5 4 'AS beyond three months after the date of liis becoming non effective. Some discretion may in this matter bo exercised by the Officer Commandmg, as in the event of a deserter being recovered to the service before the expiration of the three months, he is aUowed, if he thinks proper, to restore to the man all, or any of his effec'ts A soldier becoming non effective from any of the aforesaid causes, will be credited in his accoimts with pay to, and for the day, on which he became non effective. 32. A deceased soldier wUl be credited in his non effective ac- coimts with any deposits he may have had in the Regunental Sav- mg 8 Bank, and interest thereon, to the last day of the month in which his death took place. The deposits in the Regimental Sav- ing 8 ^ank of a soldier who deserts and does not return within three months, or who maybe convicted of desertion within that period are to be withdrawn by the Captain of his Company and treated m every respect as any other withdrawals. They are to be placed in the hands of the Paymaster for the purpose of being mserted m the next pay hst rendered by him to the War Office not as a credit in the man's non effective account as part of his effects, but as a specific and distinct credit to the public The account of every man, whether he dies or deserts, which is transmitted with the regimental pay list, is to be accompanied by a certificate (W. 0., Form 388) showing whether he had or had not any moneys in the Regimental Saving's Bank. 33. The deposits made in Regimental Saving's Banks, say on 3l8t October are not charged by the Paymaster until the 30th November. The same way with subscriptions to the Benevolent ±und. In the case of a deposit withdrawn on the last day of a month interest thereon for that month will be allowed. Although deposits may not be made until a date subsequent to the 1st of a month, nevertheless, if the date be not exceeded on which the Com- pany wa« settled with for the previous month, interest will be allowed on the deposit from the 1st of the month. Soldiers are not permitted to deposit a smaller sum than a shilling in the Saving's Bank, neither can they be allowed to leave a smaUer sum than a flhillmg m deposit. In making deposits, fractional parts of a pemiy are madmissible. ^ ^ soldier may denosit anv amount in any Saving's Bank for se- 24 curity, but he can only be allowed interest on X200 in all.* Any amount may be deposited by the soldier in one year, but interest is only allowed on X30 : thus, a soldier depositing say X46 on the Ist January, is only entitled to interest on £80 to 31st March, but will commence to draw interest upon the whole from the 1st April, unless he should happen to deposit a further sum exceeding £30, including the .£15 from the year previous. 34. Soldiers about to be discharged and who desire to transfer their balances to local and civil Saving's Banks, are to be clearly and distinctly warned that such transfers are made solely at their own risk, and that no claim upon the public for compensation is admissible for any loss which may be incurred by such transfer. 35. Gratuities awarded to Non Commissioned Officers and men for long service and good conduct, or for service in the field are to be placed in the Regimental Saving's Bank, to be held there in deposit, at interest, but not under control of the soldier, until he shall be discharged from the service. They will therefore be entered on a page separate from ordinary deposits and headed thus in red ink : " Gratuity not to be paid until the soldier becomes non effective by discharge or death." The publication in Regimental Orders of a man's having received a gratuity will be sufficient authority for the Captain of the Company to open an account in the Saving's Bank ledger, and place the amount to the man's credit bearing the interest from whatever date may be named in orders. The deposit will not be entered in Form No. 2, neither will it be charged or credited through the Company pay list against the Paymaster. In the event of a soldier being discharged before the gratuity is awarded to him, the course detailed above will be gone through . Ir,it the money will be immediately withdra^vn, if the soldier so desire it. If he should have been forwarded to England for discharge, the usual transfer statement. Form C, (No. 380 A) will be supplied. Whenevcx a gratuity is withdrawn, it must be entered by itself in a separate ForL* No. 2, and not mixed up with ordinary withdraw- als. 36.

The Officer Commandmg a Company is not liable to defray the expenses of a soldier's funeral, unless the eflFects of the soldier are insufficient for the purpose. The cost of such funeral should not exceed £1 15s., whether the sum be defrayed by the Officer or out of the soldier's effects. In the event of local charges at any place nece^mrily causing an excess over that amount, a special representation must be submitted by the Captain of the Company to the Commanding Officer, for the consideration of the Secretary of State for War, with a view to authority being given for such extra expense being charged against the public. 38. When a daily settlement has been inevitably interrupted by the absence of the soldier on furlough, in hospital, or otherwii.e, the arrears of daily pay accruing therefrom shall be paid to him on rejoining ; or distributed in daily payments together with the pay of succeeding days, as the Captain shall judge fit according to char- acter and circumstances. 39. By a General Order dated Montreal, 8th April, 1861, the well conducted wives of Soldiers of this Regiment, who have been married with leave, together with their famihes, receive free rations. Women who drew rations in their husband's former corps, continue to draw them in this. A woman's allowance is half that of a soldier's ; children under 7 years, one fourth ; and children over 7 years, one third. On attaining the age of 14 years, chil- dren are struck off rations, nor can the Commanding Officer sanction their continuing to hve with their parents in Barracks, it being tine that they should begin to shift for themselves. 40. When a married soldier dies, or the wife of a soldier, the family if they were on rations, are immediately struck off the Com- pany's returns, and are by the Quarter Master placed on the Widows' and Orphans' list, under certam regulations. (See page 275, Commissariat Regulations and Instructions). On the death of the Fathr the family wiU, if it desires to return to England, receive rations untU an opportunity offers itself of sending it home. Fami- lies intending to remain in the Colony have no clmm to rations for any period. On the death of a Mother, if the children are to be I 26 provided for m the Colony, they will have rations issued to them only for such time as may be necessary for thwn to comjdete theif arrange- menta. The period of such issue is on no account to exceed three months. If it is the intention of the soldier to send his mothsiiess children home to England, he is allowed three months to commun'cate with his friends, and rations will be allowed for the children until the occurrence of the first public conveyance after the expiration of the above period. These regulfttions apply equal- ly to families who were not in receipt of rations pru^iously to the death of the parent Rations may at once be issued to" widows and orphans under these regulations, but application for authority must be made forthwith by th^ Commanding Officer at the post to the Military Secretary on the station, and it must be clearly stated in the appUcation whether the family intends returning to England, or to remain in the Colony. 41. Men on pass for any period over two days are struck off rar tion. and accounted for in the column of remarks of the Company's pay list as on pass from to . The same with men on furicugh, or awaiting discharge. Subsistence at the fol- lowl^^g rate only is allowed to be advanced to men going on fur- lough J Serjeants, Is. per diem, all other ranks 8 pence per diem. 42. In making out the Company's pay list, let the pay list of the preceding month be taken, and strike out the names of any men who may have become non effective or left the Company. Inter- line such as may have joined, and then proceed to make out a correct alphabetical roll by ranks. Take the pay list of thr; pre- ceding month also for ^our guide a.s to the rate of good conduct pay, &c. If any man appears in the Company pay list for the first time, state in the column of remarks where he comes from, and if any man leaves the Company durmg the month, state where he has gone to. If any man has a broken period of pay or good con- duct pay, explain it. The pay lists are rendered in duplicate, and should be the same in every respect, even to the numbers and iden- tical names on each page. The totals of the different columns should be entered in ink, as also the recapitulation of pay, but only in one crpy, the totals and recapitulation of the other being left blank. 43. With Companies on detachment, the rations in the pay list 27 ed to them only e iheu arrange- 'unt to exceed yi to send bis 1 three months allowed for the nveyance after OS apply eqwal- oTiously to the ued to widows n for authority at the post to clearly stated xg to England, 3 struck off ra- ;he Company's Che same with ice at the fol- going on fur- ice per diem, pay list of the es of any men ipany.

The same .course should be pursued with regard to Hospital stoppages. 44. Hospital stoppages for boys on boys' pay amount to 8 pence, and for men 9 pence daily. These rates do not apply when sol- diers are m Hospital on account of wounds received in action, or when serving with an army in the Field. The stoppage then is only that prescribed for provisions suppHed to the effective soldier. 45. The daily or weekly pay issued to the soldier will be entered in the pay sheet m dollars and cents, and the total amount during the month will be converted into sterling, £1 4s. 4d. currency beiiig reckoned equal to .£1 Os. Od. sterUng. Tables showing the relative value of English coppers, and coins, are published by au- thority. A work by Le Sueur, of the Bank of Montreal, is recom- mended for adoption. 46. The charge for the alteration of clothing including tunic and trowsers, is not to exceed one shilling per suit for all ranks, and will be defrayed in equal proportions by the public and the soldier. The allowance by the public for making up clothing from the material is as follows : Staff Serjeants Serjeants Privates Tunic, 8 Trowsers, 3 Tunic, 5 Trowsers, — , 1 Tunic ?, Band. Buglers. Trowsers,. Tunic, . . . Trowsers, Tunic, Trowsers,. 1 5 1 5 1 D. 6 1 6 1 No further sum will be admitted either agamst the pubUc or the solaier for suits made from material. 47. Good conduct badges are supplied with the clothmg. In the ca^e of a first grant at intermediate periods, the charge wUl be made agamst the pubhc by the Quarter Master as per paragraph 207 page 62, of the War Office Explanatory Directions. Chevrons .or JSon Commissioned Officers of all ranks are also suppUed with the clothmg, but the Non Commissioned Officers appointed after the rj» 28 annual issue has taken place, and men who have had restored to them forfeited good conduct badges will be charged according to the scale on page 78. 48. Should the clothing be accidentally delayed in issue beyond the 1st of April, it becomes the property of the soldier on the 31st March next, although it may not have been worn the 12 months. 49. Men discharged in the last juarter of the miUtary year will be allowed to take their clothing with them, except their regimental cap. This must be returned into store. Observe, however, if a man's name appears in General Orders, say in November or December, as being allowed to proceed to his intended place of residence to await discharge, he wou^.d probably in the usual course be dis- charged in the last quarter ; nevertheless, except he actually con- tinues to do duty with his regiment up to — at earliest — the 1st January, he cannot be allowed to retain his clothing. 50. The part worn clothing of men becoming non effective from whatever cause (except the being discharged in the last quarter), which has not been the prescribed period in wear, becomes the pro- perty of the public, and must be returned to the Quarter Master's store. 51. If men on joining from desertion or from confinement, re- quire clothing, they shall be supplied, whatever may be the date of their return, with part worn clothing ; should there be none in store, they will be clothed in the same manner as recruits. 52. A Private, or rank and file Non Commissioned Officei' when promoted to Serjeant subsequently to the yearly issue, will, when it is practicable, exchange clothing with his predecessor. Other- wise he will retain his own, and receive the difference in money, between Serjeants and rank and file clothing, at the regulated rates from the date of his promotion to the 31st March following. In the case of a man appointed Bugler, the same rule will be observed, but no compensation will be granted. 53. When a Serjeant is reduced to the ranks, an exchange of clothing should be effected with his successor. If this be imprac- ticable, part worn clothing will be issued to him. Should there be none of this in store, he will be treated in the same way as a recruit. i.4 ad restored to d according to Q issue beyond soldier on the I worn the 12 itary year will leir regimental ver, if a man's or December, »f residence to jourse be dis- 3 actually con- rliest — the 1st effective from last quarter), jomes the pro- arter Master's nfinement, re- be the date of e be none in ruits.

Transfers from other corps will not bring their clothing with them, urJess specially authorized by the Secretary of State for War. Should no such authority be granted, they will be dealt with as to clothing in the same manner as recruits. The regula- tion for the latter is as follows : — 1st. Recruits finally approved during the first quarter of the mi- litary year, namely, between the 1st April and 30th June, are to receive new clothing complete, to last till 31st March ensuing. 2nd. Recruits finally approved in the second quarter, between the 1st July and 30th September, shall receive, if possible, part worn clothing complete, equal to that in wear by the rest of the corps. If not, such part worn articles as may be in store, and the remainder new. Should there be no part worn clothing in store, complete new clothing is to be issued, to last till 31st March en- suing. 3rd. Recruits finally approved in the third quarter of the mili- tary year, namely, between the first October and 31st December, are to be suppUed, if possible, with part worn clothing complete, if there is any in store equal to that in wear by the rest of the corps. Should there be no complete part worn suits in store, recruits shall receive a part worn tunic, and new trowsers and boots, the whole to last tiU the 31st March ensuing. Should there be no part worn clothing available to enable the Officer Commanding to adjust the cases of recruits in the manner before stated, they shall be supplied with complete new clothing to last till the end of the next military year, and entitled in addition to two compensation articles, namely, a pair of new boots and trowsers. 4th. The compensation articles will not be issued to the recruits at the same time as the new yearly clothing. But when the Offi- cer Commanding considers that he is in want of them to replace the first supply, an issue of one or both articles wUl be ordered, the cost of the same being charged in the contingent accounts and a note of the issue made in the yearly nominal return. 5th. Recruits finally approved in the last quarter of the miUtary year, namely, between the 1st January and 31st March, shall, when possible, receive part worn clothing complete, equal to that m wear by the rest of the corps, or else new clothing complete, to last to the expiration of the ensuing military year. And in addi- 1 30. tion to the new clothing they shall he entitled to one compensation ar- ticle, namely, trowsers or hoots, to be issued as detailed above with reference to recruits ot the third quarter. The chaco bemg in- tended to last two years, every recruit shall receive a part worn chaco should there be any in store, to last until the first or second issue according to the condition it may be in at the time be received it. 55. The public allowance for cuffs and collars for Serjeants' great coats is Is. 7d, sterling. That for Serjeants chevrons 6d. sterling, and for Corporals chevrons 4d. sterling. Lance Corporals pay for theirs, 2d. sterling. All ranks wear the chevrons on the right arm only. The cuffs and collars of Serjeants' great coats are to be made of army cloth, colour green. 56. Great coats are all marked at the public expense, 2d. sterling being allowed for each. 57.

He will inspect each man's berth on these occasions and see that the accou- trements, clothing, &o., are all arranged according to orders. He will see that a correct roll of the men of his room is at all times suspended behind the barrack room door. He keeps the roster for orderly men of his room. He is responsible that the men sit down properly drossed to their meals. (See paragraph 32, page 85.) He will cause the room to be thoroughly cleaned, swept and venti- lated, the beds neatly folded, and every thing in order within one hour after rouse sounding. He will see every man in bed, the water can filled with water, and ev^ry precaution taken against fire by the time the " Lights out " is sounded. 3. The Non Commissioned Ofiiccr in charge of a room has a right to select his berth, but having once made a choice he cannot be allowed to displace others for his own convenience. ORDERLY MEN OF ROOMS. 1. There will be one or two (according to the number of men) orderly men to each room, their duties continuing from rouse sounding till lights out. They will not leave the Barracks the day they are on duty. They are held responsible for the cleanliness of that part of the barrack room common to all, also the cleanliness and completeness of the barrack furniture and utensils, reporting all deficiencies or damages to the Non Commissioned Officer in charge of the room within half an hour after they come on duty. They will remove the urine tub to the place appointed for it, and partly fill it with water, within one hour after rouse sounding. They will carry out all slops, remove sweepings and keep the room at all times well supplied with fresh water. They prepare the tables for the different meals, attend the cook house at the warning bugle, and receive from the Company's cook the rations for the men of the room. They divide the meals in the barrack rooms into single messes, and have every thing ready for their comrades to take their seats by the time the second bugle sounds. After meals they will wash the dishes or mess tins, and put the room in proper order. They are held responsible that the meals of the men on guard are ready to hand over to those appointed to carry them, by the second «% our. Ha will that the accou- X) orders.

They will convey back the urine tub to the Barrack room by retreat soundmg. They are held res- jwnsible that the damper of the stove (in winter time) is shut at lights out, and at all times during the day will have a watchful eye towards the stove to prevent accidents by fire. After Barrack inspections they will attend at the Barrack store with a«y utensils noted at inspection for exchange. They will attend upon the Com- pany Orderly for the allowance of candles for the room, and also assist in dividing the Company's allowance of wood by rooms. The Orderly men of rooms are avaUable for all general parades and drills except during the season when fuel is used, when one man should always be left to guard against accidents by fire. STAIRS' ORDERLY. 1. There will be a man warned daily under the above name. A general roster of the whole of the duty men quartered in each passage will be kept by the Senior Non Commissioned Officer of the passage, and ihe Stairs' Orderly will be warned from this general 2. His duty will be to sweep the stairs and passages at the first bugle sounding for breakfast and dinner, also before the hour of morning parade, so that every thing maybe in perfect order before the Orderly Officer makes his visit to the Barrack rooms. drills ^^^ ^*^'''' ^''^^'^^•^ '' ""^^'^^^^^ ^'''' ^" ^^"'"''^ P^""^"' ^'"^ COMPANY'S COOK. 1. This duty is to be taken by the single men of the Company commencing after evening meal on Saturday and continuing for one week. ° 2. The cook is held responsible that the meals are ready to be removed from the cook-house, by the first bugle somiding. Care must be taken by^him not to have them too soon ready ; this is a tau!. es great as the meals being too late. He wDl be particular in having the coppers thoroughly cleaned, both before and after the 88 cooking of each meal. When a sufficient number of coppera can be had, one should be set apart for soups or stews, another for tea and coffee, and another for potatoes. He will pay the utmost attention to the cleanliness of the cook-house and to his manner of cooking the victuals. 8. He will attend at the place and hour appointed for the issue of the Company's beef and satisfy himself that he gets the proper quantity for the number of men that he has in mess. Should he be dissatisfied with the quality of the beef he will respectfully state his objections to the Orderly Officer. 4. He will accompany the Mess Corporal of the Company at his purchase of groceries for th^ Company's messing, and is responsible, — aa well as is the Corporal— for. the proper expending of the mess money, and the articles purchased being of a good quality. 5. The Barrack utensils, as enumerated on the board of inventory in the cook house, are under his special charge, and on the conclusion of his week's duty he will give them over complete and in good order to his successor,— in presence of the Company Orderly— within one hour after the Saturday's evening meal. Should there be any deficiencies or damages, a memorandum of the same will be given by the Company Orderly to the Pay Serjeant of the Company, so that at the ensumg barrack inspection the charges may be made against the proper individual. I M *ii; ASSISTANT COOK. 1. His duties will continue from one Saturday to another, in the same manner as those of the cook. In the event of his having to go on guard, a fatigue man will be warned temporarily in his place. 2. The assistant cook will wash the potatoes, clean and cut up vegetables, carry in water, empty slops, and assist in cutting wood for cooking purposes. He will be in charge of the cook house, when the cook goes for beef, or is in any other way necessarily absent. 3. He will accompany the Mess Corporal and cook in their pur- chase of Company's groceries, and is together with them held responsible for the correct performance of this duty. The assistant cook should invariably be the man next on the roster for cook. m • of coppera can another for tea pay the utmost to his manner of d for the issue of 3 proper quantity he be dissatisfied te his objections Company at his id is responsible, Jing of the mess quality. ard of inventory »n the conclusion ite and in good )rderly — within lid there be any le will be given he Company, so 3 may be made another, in the f his having to •ily in his place, an and cut up in cutting wood le cook house, i^ay necessarily 80 BAND AND BUGLERS. 1. The 3and and buglers will be under the special care of a Committee of Officers, with a Captain as President. Tliis arrange- ment however is not to intei-fore with the duties of Captains so far as regards the Bandsmen of tlieir respective companies. The Band Committee's duties are more with reference to the Band fund. In- struments, Music, &c., than the men themselves. The President is requested to superintend the fitting of the Band clothing, and make an inspection of the same on its being issued, before it is inspected by the Commanding Officer. 2. The Field bugles are not under the charge of the Band Committee but accounted for with the arms and accoutrements in the Companies to which the buglers belong. 3. It will be incumbent upon the President of the Band Committee to visit the rooms occupied by the Band in the same manner and for the same purpose as a Captain visits his Company rooms. 4. The Commanding Officer will be obliged to the President of Uie Band Committee fo- any suggestions or remarks, relative to the Band, which he cousulers it desirable to make. ARRANGEMENT OF ACCOUTREMENTS, CLOTHING &c., IN BARRACK ROOMS. 1. Every man will have that portion of the shelf and pegs allotted to him which are immediately above his bed. 2. The Rifles are to be placed in the Arm bands, lock outwards, muzzle stoppers in, and hammer down on the nipple cap 3. The accoutrements are to be hung on the right peg,* waistbelt uppermost, the knapsack straps when detached from the Knapsack, under the accoutrements. 4 The tunic, with shell jacket under it, is to be hung on the peg *<> the^ft of^th^ acQoutaents,-the tunic ^nside out.

That part of the knapsack which is next the man's back when worn is considered the front,') the chaco on the right of the knapsack, peak to the front and tuft uppermost, the mess tin with cover on the left of the knapsack flat side next it, the trowsers folded in three lengths and placed on the knapsack. The fur cap in winter will be placed on the trowsers above the knapsack, peak to the front. 7. The box, regimental size, is to be kept under the bedstead, and sufficiently far from the front as to admit of one pair of boots being placed in front of it. The winter boots are to be on the left, and in line with the head of the bedstead. 8. The forage cap will be on the top of the bedding, bugle to the front, the stock on the forage cap, the towel spread out on the back of the bedding. All other articles in possession are to be kept in the knapsack or box. 9. Black calico covers may be placed over the accoutrements to keep off flies, &c., also covers for the rifles. These however must all be removed on a General Officer visiting the rooms, or at any other time when ordered. They must be neatly made and tidy in appearance. 10. The bedsteads must be drawn out at least one foot from the wall. 11. The following will be the manner of folding up the bedding. The paillasse is to be rolled up in a circular form, and the blankets and sheets neatly folded up and laid on the top, the whole to be bound round the centre by the strap. Wh'^n thus rolled up the bedding is to be placed about two inches from the head of the bed- stead, which is to be doubled back. The rug is to be placed on the extreme cud of the bedstead so as to admit of the Soldier sitting thereon during the day time. The rug is to be folded round the blankets of such bedding as may not be in use. 12. The practice of putting any articles whatever in the folds of the bedding, or into the mattress, is strictly forbidden. 13. Every soldier is personally responsible for the order and 1 luax ivy VI lun uci tii • 14. The first thing to be done by him in the mormng is to fold 41 khe knap- knapsack le front,') t and tuft psack flat ed on the trowsers bedstead, r of boots 1 the left, gle to the I the back e kept in ements to jver must )r at any id tidy in from the bedding, blankets ole to be d up the the bed- laced on ! Soldier iding as 5 folds of •der and s to fold up his bedding, draw out his bedstead, dry scrub and sweep out his berth, and put all his things in order. The spare bedsteads, and those belonging to men on guard or otherwise unavoidably absent, will be drawn out by the men nearest to them and the bertha cleaned out. Every man before going on any duty, or to parade, and before going out of Barracks, must see that his berth is in order. The Non Commissioned OflScer in charge, should see this atten- ded to, as he will be held responsible for any irregularity about these men's berths on an OflScer visiting the rooms. In the absence of any N. C. Officer, the orderly men will be the responsible per- sons. 15. The cleaning of arms and accoutrements at the set time appointed for Officers visiting the Barrack rooms is not allowed, except in cases of necessity. ARRANGEMENT OF MARRIED MEN'S ROOMS. 1. Women are only allowed in Barracks, when accommodation can be had, as an indulgence under certain regulations, not as a matter of right. Therefore all orders laid down for the guidance of married men and their wives, must be implicitly obeyed by the women, otherwise they will forfeit the advantage of Barrack accom- modation. 2. Married men and their families must never be quartered in the same room with single men, except in cases of absolute necessity. 3. The Non Commissioned Officer in charge of a married room, wUl tell off a woman daily as orderly woman for the room all taking it in turn without reference to the rank of the husband. 4. The duties of the orderly woman will continue from rouse to lights out. The Barrack utensils are under her particular care, and she will report to the Non Commissioned Officer in charge, any deficiency in the same within one hour after rouse sounding. She is held responsible for the cleanliness of the stove, that part of the room common to all, and the carrying out of ashes or sweepings. This is the extent of her responsibiUty, every woman being answer- able for the cleanliness and good order of her own berth. Each woman will also fetch fresh water for her own use. \m m ' < 1 l.'"! J! 42 5. Changing Barrack utensils after inspection, sheeta, or other bedding, sweeping the stairs and passages where married people are quartered, will be done by the soldier only, and considered a room fatigue. 6. Bed posts are allowed to be put up by married people for the purpose of hanging curtains on at night ; but these curtains must be taken down, or very closely drawn in to the bed posts, beds made up (not folded and turned up like the single men's) and berths in passable order by two hours after rouse sounding. 7. Each woman is to have her berth crubbed out with water and soap e.ery morning, summer and wmter, Sundays excepted, by y.dO a. m. No curtains will be allowed round the lower portion of the beds, nor any other thing that will impede the free circulation 01 air. 8. When an orderly woman of a room is reported for neglect of duty, her husband will be deprived of the benefit of a working pass, until he teaches her how to perform it. 9. The arrangement ofmarried men's accoutrements, clothing &c must be exactly the same as the single men ; and they must be placed m that part of their berths most exposed to view No article of household furniture can be allowed to appear amongst, nor crowded near them. & ' "^ 10. On the distribution of fuel by rooms by the Company Orderly one man from each married room must attend on behalf of his room ' al30 on the issue of candles. This will also be a room fatigue. ' CLEANING OF WASH-HOUSES, &c., &c. J'}.^7Z ?'"'^ T ''^''' ^^"^^y '' quartered in Barracks will be liable to a monthly charge to pay a woman for keeping the women s wash-houses, privies, &c., clean. The money is to be col- lected by the Pay Serjeants and paid over to the Quarter Master, whose busmess it will be to engage a Soldier's wife to perform this duty. If none will volunteer, a civilian may be employed As It IS difficult to fix the amount which should be charged for the work which may be required more in one place than another (the number of women in a Barrack also making a material differ- ence) the pay as a general rule should not be less than 7s 6d nor more than 15s stg., per month.

Neither must any ashes or rubbish be thrown into the drains, as the practice tends to choke them, entaU- ing great expense and giving rise to unhealthiness. HAIR CUTTING. 1.

As the Regiment is almost entirely composed of old Soldiers, and the crime of making away with neeessaries is fortunately scarcely known, there is no necessity for the men's kits being inspected oftener than once a month. This inspection will take ^^iace be- tween the 26th and last day of each monta. Every man under the rank of full corporal must lay out his kit. The examination must be a thorough one, and carried out in the foUowmg manner : 1st. Each man's kit will be looked at to see that it is laid out properly according to the Form in the Squad Roll Book. 2nd. The Officer will then go round the second time, and as he comes up, (not before) will make every man shake out his shirts, socks, &c., as well as turn up his boots. All deficiencies or repairs will be noted by the Pay Serjeant, so that the Captain shall be enabled to put his men under the required stoppages from the first of the following month. This wiU also be a -cod occasion for Cap- tarns to make their men take off their forage caps a:.d ascertain that their hair is cut according to order. AMMUNITION IN THE MEN'S POUCHES. 1. The packages ..f ammunition in the pouches must be placed in the canister crosswise, and packed tight with small pieces of cork. When the full quantity of ammunition is not carried, the partitions next the Soldier's right hand wiU remain empty. 2. Each man will have a small card (see Form No. 34) tied across the packages and placed in the canister to his left. TRANSFER OF ARMS AND ACCOUTREMENTS. When Soldiers are transferred from one Company to another, their arms, accoutrements^ and great coats will be transferred vAth them. BLACKING FOR ACCOUTREMENTS. 1. No other description of blacking will be allowed for cleaning belts and pouches than the usual military paste blacking, issued m tin cases from the Quarter Mastflr'a af/^*./* Th- ,,-^ ^e ii.^ nH---i- known aa « Marder's Jet " or composition blacking, is strictly for- bidden. *^ h ^i 46 i ■irif FITTING OF ACCOUTREMENTS. 1.

Men having leave to work must take all duties in their turn, and attend general parades. They are not allowed to leave the barracks before rouse roll call, and must return by tattoo. No man will be allowed to work about any house or premises where liquor is sold by retail. 3rd. Working in uniform is forbidden, therefore men having leave to work must provide themselves with some suitable articles of dress. In lieu of coat, a smock frock, such as is usually worn on fatigue, is enjoined. As men may in many cases have no op- portunity of safely putting away their uniform during work, the Commanding Officer has no objection to a Captain giving special leave for men going out of quarters in this description of dress, provided they appear as respectable as a soldier ought ever to do whatever he may be employed about. 4th. Any man abusing this indulgence will forfeit his leave in addition to such punishment as may be awarded him. 2. Lists by companies will be given to the Non Commissioned Officer commanding the barrack guard, of all men having liberty to work, and no man will be allowed to pass out of barracks in work- ing dress, without first showing liimself to the Non Commissioned Officer commanding the guard, who will ascertam that his name is on the list, before he permits him to pass out. These lists are to be renewed by the 1st of every month, before guard mounting hour by the Company Orderly. 3. On the last day of each month, lists in duplicate will be sent in by companies, of all men recommended for leave to work for the month following. (See form No. 48.) One copy will be returned to the company, for the gmdance of the Company Orderly. The names of men forfeiting this ^idulgence during the month will be struck off the list ; tiiose of men becoming entitled to the same, will be sent to the Orderly Room, as per form No. 76. 4. No man should be recommended by the Captain of his com- pany for leave to work, unless he produces satisfactory proof that he can find employment. 5. Serjeants are not permitted to take advantage of a working pass, neither are bandsmen or men permanently employed. Bands- men are, however, permitted to play at parties, &c., with a view to 51 ^eir own benefit, under certain restrictions, and provided such indulgence does not interfere with their regim;ntal dutier about Hr^r^ r'' "'' "'' ^'^" *^ ^"^^^« «^en to lounge about the barracks or streets.

Even pris. .ers in the guard room are, if fit, to be marched up to muster pa Je to personally answer their names. 9. The honours to be paid and attendance at funeral parades, will be observed as laid down at page 35 and 36 of the Queen's Regulations. The parade for the funeral of a Non Commissioned Officer or private, will be a general parade for the company to Tvhich the deceased belonged. Non Commissioned Officers or men of other companies are invited as a mark of respect to attend. MEN IN LODGINGS. 1. Married men sleeping out of barracks, are not pemitted on any account to keep any portion of their arms or accoutrements in then' lodgings, except their waist belt, and only such portion of their clothing and necessaries as may be required to enable them to go in and out of barracks, clean and properly dressed. On this account they are entitled to have a portion of a barrack room told off to them, where they may keep those articles which are not allowed in lodgings. 2. They are forbidden by regulations to have the use of any portion of barrack bedding in lodgings. If Captains of companies should at any time take upon themselves to relax in this respect, it must be clearly understood that they are alone responsible to the public for any loss or damage to the bedding, that may arise from their having so done. 3. The quarters of all men living out of barracks, must be vis- ited by the Captain of their company at least once a month, and by the Pay Serjeant once a week. This is an important matter, because if soldiers leave barracks to repair to dirty or low locali- ties, both their health and morals suffer thereby. 4. A monthly return as per form No. 47, of all men recom- mended to reside out of barracks, will be sent to the Orderly Room by the companies.

Such fatigues as stairs and passage orderly, ration carrier, men warned for rope drill, for instruction of young oflBoers, or for duty on the practice ground with the company at musketry, will be considered as lastmg for the day ; also the piling and carting of wood. 10. Men should not, except in cases of necessity, be taken for fatigue, within a shorter interval than two hours after guard, or one hour after meals. When coming off escort they should have at least the day on which they return, to themselves. 11. When an officer goes on leave in the colony, or quits the regiment, taking his baggage with him, his servant will become available for duty in 24 hours from the time his master leaves bar- racks. K the officer's baggage requires puttmg into store, the servant will have 48 hours. 12. The Company roster will be kept by the Company Orderly, as per Form No. 33. As there is no necessity for every orderly having a clear roster when he commences his duties, but at the same time it is desirable to prevent disputes, the Non Commis- sioned Officer who happens to be the orderly on the morning of the last day of each iaonth, will be the one to make out the new duty roster of his company, the same to be taken into use on the day following. The old roster will be given over to the Pay Ser- jeant, and filed and preserved by him for at least three months. 13. It will be observed as a general rule that the cook of a com- pany, Non Commissioned Officers and men on escort, or giving evidence before a court martial, will not make good any guards, picquets, or fatigues, when it has passed their turn in the roster. An assistant cook will be exempt from escort, picquet, or fatigues, during his occupation as such. 14. Men on guard are not allowed to claim exemption from a fatigue, because whilst on guard it may have passed their turn. COMPANY DEFAULTER'S BOOK. 1.

" Great care should be taken in skirmishing not to run " the muzzle of the barrel into the ground, and a soldier " accidentally doing so, should immediately fall out, as if " the piece be fired, the obstruction in the muzzle is likely " to burst the barrel; if not loaded, the dirt should be care- " My removed and the barrel wiped out, for if rammed " down with a charge, it would tear the barrel, and destroy " the surface of the bore. 32.

Non Commissioned Officers will pay particular attention that the privates under their charge strictly comply with the rules laid down on pages 13 and 14 of the book of " Instruction of Mus- ketry," under the head of " Instructions to clean the lock and rifle and keep them in proper order." 3. When the regiment is supplied with the new expense pouch, containing an oil bottle, an annual allowance will be made by the public to Captains of Companies, for the purchase of " Rangoon oil," for the purpose of cleaning and oiling the rifle.

(Place and date.) (Signed,) BAGGAGE. 1. Owing to the Regiment being very much composed of married men, there is an urgent necessity for Officers commanding Com- panies to be continuaUy on the watch to guard against any undue mcrease of baggage. As a matter of course a married man with five or six children will require a Utile more consideration than one who has none, and it is therefore difficult to fix the exact size of box that may be tolerated in each case. The maximum rate how- ever, will be fixed at that laid down for Officer's boxes per Horse Guards Order, 8th December, 1858 ; i.e., all married men allowed barrack accommodation may have in all one box for family use, the size of which shall not exceed three feet six inches in lengtii'two feet m width and two feet three inches in depth, or in cubic meas- urement, fifteen feet nine inches. Married men not having boxes of these dimensions will not be allowed to make up the bulk by a number of small ones.

ATTENDANCE AT REGIMENTAL AND SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 1. The regular attendance of children at the Regimental School is a matter of vast importance to them in after life, and as the public has spared no expense in placuig these schools on the most advantageous footing, it is strictly enjoined upon Officers command- ing detachments, to give every countenance and support to School Masters and Mistresses in the discharge of their duty. 2. At each post where a school is established an Officer will, if possible, be obtained voluntarily to visit it. He will of course not be supposed to adopt any system of his own, but see that the teachers maintain proper authority, and strictly carry out the regulations issued from the War Office. 3. It is also a great advantage when the Ladies of the Regiment will give countenance and assistance to School Mistresses, by regu- larly visiting the Infant and Industrial schools. 4. Officers and lady visitors also masters and mistresses are requested to take particular notice of the cleanliness of the children, particularly in the matter of their hair. The School Master will send after scJml hours for the parent of any child that has been found fault with for bemg sent dirty to school, and call their attention to this neglect. Repetitions of the offence must be brought to the notice of the Commanding Officer. 5. Parents wishing for a few days leave from school for their children, will apply personally to the School Master or Mistress, who will be authoriz'^d tx> qive leave for any period not exceeding one week. If the atjpiiociiion is for a longer period, it will be referred by the School Master to the Commanding Officer. 6. The practice of parents sending their children to schools in town on the ground of receiving religious instruction, or for any other reason, is forbidden. OniDortiinitifis arfi rptrimpntfllW mvi^-n twice a week for religious instruction by clergymen at every m 67 denomination, therefore there can I,. .«ij application.

The following is extracted from the Queen's Regulations, paragraph 16, page 212 : "The wives of soldiers are ajso to be encouraged to attend " Divine Service." 4. It is considered imperative upon all children attending school to go to Church as well. 6. Any infringement of the above or foregoing regulations regarding Divine Worship and school will render the parents Uable to forfeiture of all regimental indulgences. 6. It is common in the service for married Officers to go to Church with their wives, and to have leave from any early or special miUtary service. The Commanding Officer neveriiheless would not only bespeak at all times a good attendance of Officers with their men, but by all means discourage single Officers having leave from Church parade on the grounds that they propose attend- ing such or such Cathedral or Chapel instead. COMPLAINTS. 1. Any Non Commissioned Officer or soldier having a complaint, will make it to the Officer in charge of his Company before bringing the same to the Commanding Officer. The proper course is for the soldier to apply to the Color Serjeant, who may either accompany the man himself to his Officer, or direct the Company Orderly to do so. This must be immediately done, unless it should be considered by the Color Serjeant that the hour is unseasonable, and the object sought one which may be delayed without hardship to the soldier. The same rule will be observed when there is a favour to ask. The course here laid down will not prevent a soldier from asking the privilege of speaking privately with the Officer when brought before him. The Commanding Officer also would be sorry for the necessity of laying down any law which would prohibit a well behaved man from at anytime seeking his Officer's friendly counsel and advice, in a less formal manner. Suun terms between a supe- rior, and a. subordinate who from his good conduct is entitled to respect, is unlikely to lead to abuse, but rather to a feeling of confi- dence and ihe good of the service. 69 2.

Fifteen minutes after the dressing bugle for parade sounds, the Se^eant Major wiU call coverers for Staff parade, on which the Band Orderly, and Company Orderlies will take up the distance with recovered arms at open column, right in front. On the word steady ' the Orderly Serjeants will shoulder aims and the whole of the buglers will sound the Non Commissioned Officers and Band call. The Band and Non Commissioned Officers will then, in two ranks at close order with shouldered arms, fall in on the right of their respective coverers. The latter wiU ascertain that all are present, and immediately after again place themselves on the left of their Companies. The Staff Serjeants wiU fall in, in rear of the colmnn. The Serjeant Major now collects the reports, and as the Companies will generally be of unequal strength he wUl give the word On the move, left wheel into line, quick march." When wheeled square, the Non Commissioned Officers will feel in to the right, contmumg to mark time untU the Serjeant Major gives the word of command " Halt dress." The ranks being opened, the Serjeant Major makes his report to the Adjutant whose duty it is to inspect the Staff parade. The ranks are then closed, faced to the right, and told to break off. 3. The Serjeant Major next calls the coverers for Companies. On this the Company Orderhes with recovered arms, mark the spot where the left of their Companies will rest. Another Non Commissioned Officer of each Company at the same time marks the depth of a subdivision— with three paces more— to the right of the covering Serjeant. This will be the place where the left of the nght subdivision rests. On the word « steady " bemg given by the Serjeant Major, the whole of the coverers will come to the shoulder. All the buglers on parade will then sound the " fall in " when the men will place themselves, in two ranks at close order, and with shouldered arms, upon the right of the Non Commissioned Officers marking the respective subdivisions. They will dress as they fall m, and feel m to the left without reference to whom they are covering The Companies having previously sized according to the rule laid do^vn in Article 2, page 48, of the Field Evolutions, each mdividual wUl at once take his place. The front rank of the ■ nght subdivision will be considered the 1st squad, the rear rank .he .^nd squad, the fi-out rank left subdivision the 3rd squad, and h 71 the rear rank the 4th squad. When a man of the front rank hap- pens to be absent, the rear rank man is mt to take his place, but wJl remain m his own squad until after squad inspection.

The Commanding Officer calls attention to the following passage in the Field Exercise and Evolutions of the Army. Page 10. " Although Soldiers are taught the motions of saluting at the " halt, it is not intended that they shall salute when standing still ; if standing when an Officer approaches, they will face towards him and come to attention ; if sitting, they will rise and stand at " attention. At all times when soldiers are walking they will " salute an Officer when passmg him (whether he is in uniform or " not, provided they know him to be an Officer), commencing the salute four paces before they come up to him." The men of the Battalion may depend upon it that an observance of the above order as relates to Officers of other corps when out of uniform, will gain for them good will and a good name in a Garrison. The Lieut. Colonel likewise desires to enjoin upon married men the teaching of habits of deference and respect to their families. The children for instance must stop playing and bow or curtsey to their Officers when the latter pass them. The absence of this train- ing not only has a bad and un-English tendency amongst the young, but an unfavourable effect as regards the discipline of the Schools. The Commanding Officer therefore will hold parents responsible that the Schoolmaster's instructions on this head be strictly carried out. The Lieut. Colonel also takes the opportunity of remarking that the women of the Regiment very constantly fall short of the civility of their country women at home, towards those who happen to be in authority over them. There is deference due from all in a Regi- ment, from the Second Senior to the Commanding Officer, and so on through all ranks to the women and children. Without laying down any rules on this subject, or enjoining a shew of subserviency, as disagreeable to receive as to evince, it will be sufficient to observe, that the voluntary acknowledgment of their Officers when they meet them and when the occasion is fitting, while it is a thing most proper in itself, is productive of kindly feelings, and rather adds +A tbon (limm^flTiAfl frnm tbft refinefit with which the women would be viewed. Let no false notions of dignity or independence mislead in this matter. 1 \,- m With regard to Officers visiting barrack rooms on duty, the Lieut Colonel expects that when there is no reason to the contrary the women will rise up to their feet. It is requested that Officers wiU for the general respectabUity of the Corps, notice any infringement of the spirit of these remarks whUe they are careful themselves not to be outdone in civiHty by those under their orders, and to return a salute even from children. MISCELLANEOUS. 1. Whenever an Officer or Non Commissioned Officer has occa- sion to CGonne a man, he will without delay report, either verbally or m wnting, to the Company Orderly of the prisoner's Company, givmg the crime, and the names of the evidence in support of it 2. Escorts with prisoners to a military jail should start so as'to arnve at their destination before 6 o'clock p. m. They should not when it can be avoided, reach the Prison on Sundays. Prisoner^ sent to Garrison or Barrack Cells should arrive between the regular dinner hour and dark in the evening. 3. As Soldiers confined by Court Martial are released at 7 p. m., of the day on which their punishment expires, receiving full pay and reckoning service for that day, they will be considered available for aU parades and duties after being marched into barracks. Those sentenced to summary confinement by the Commanding Officer, are released at 2 p. m., of the day on which their punishment expires. Being subsisted as prisoners for that day, they will not, except under extraordinary circumstances, be put upon any duty until the day foUowmg. "^ 4. The Medical Officer in charge will enter on the back of the Hospital morning state, sent daily to the Orderly Room, the names of men admitted or discharged. Opposite those discharged he will write " to duty " or " to convalescent list." He will please also to enter the names of convalescents, and when any of them are con- sidered fit for duty, write opposite their name " to duty." 5. A man discharged from hospital or the convalescent list is not on any account available for duty until the day following. 6.

When an Officer is sick he will report either verbally or In \9riting to the Medical Officer in charge and also to the Adjutaat. The latter will report to the Commanding Officer, as well as g.ve notice to the Company Orderly of the Company to which the Officer belongs. When an Officer is on the sick list, he is not to leave his room, unless recommended by the Medical Officer to take exercide. His servant will be excused all parades during the time he remains on the sick list. 17. When an Officer joins and requires a servant, he will apply to the Adjutant, and on one being named, will obtain the Command- ing Officer's permission to employ him, stating whether he has the sanction of the Captain to whom such man belongs. The same rule will be observed when an Officer wishes to change his servant, or any of the Regimental Staff desire to displace any one employed in their department. In ca^es of the latter kind the reason for parting with the man must be given. 18. It will be understood that when an Officer appears in Regi- mental Orders as attached to, and to do duty with, another other Company, he will for the time being be considered as belonging to that Company and be struck off the establishment of his old one. 19. Staff Officers and Staff Serjeants, will be attached alternately to the Companies at Head Quarters. A Company at each station will also be named in orders to have all unposted men attached to it, so that when such persons arrive in barracks, they may be immediately attended to, without waiting for any further regimental orders on the subject. 20. When a man goes fi*om one place to another to await discharge, if he be living so near any portion of his Regiment that he can attend personally for his pay, he will receive it from that Company (of the nearest station) which has the unposted men attached to it. But if he lives at a distance and his pay has to be remitted to him, then his own Company proper will continue him in payment. The duty connected with this and with paragraph 19 will be taken for one year, viz. from 1st April to 81st March following. 21.

The men will have not less than an hour for dinner, clearing up, &c. Meal hcurs will be, breakfast, 8 ; dmner, 1 ; tea, 4. 33. When an Officer visits the room at meal hours, and " atten- tion " is called, the whole will remain steady, but seated, except Non Commissioned Officers in charge, and the orderly man of the room, who will stand up at attention. 34. When a (xeneral Officer visits the barrack rooms, either at meal or other hours, the men will be dressed in tunics, and if at meals will stand up when attention is called. 35. On all occasions of public money being paid over by the Paymaster, the same must be counted, and examined by the indi- dual receiving it, before he leaves the Pay Office. Any complaint afterwards made as to the sum, or coin being wrong, can not be entertained. 36. When Captains of Companies send in a return of the num- ber of fur caps required by their Companies, the men's names must be given, and the caps estimated for actually drawn, except in case of a man having become non-effective. Fur caps being liable to get moth eaten, cannot be kept in store like other articles of necessaries. 37. When an Officer commanding a Company is called upon to give it over to another, certificates as per i'orms No. 17 and 18, will be sent into Head Quarters' Orderly Room by each Officer. 38. Children over 14 years of age are not supposed to be ac- commodated in barracks, therefore parents will take the earliest opportunity of finding situations for them on their attaming that age. 39. Every application for fatigue parties by Heads of Depart- ments or others, ought, when practicable, to be made the day before required, and previously to the issuing of regimental Orders. It should be addressed in writing to the Adjutant, who will at once give orders, unless the requirement appear an unusual one, in which case he will submit it to the Commanding Officer. 40. No person but the Comma.iding Officer is authorized to give leave to keep lights in after hours, and all requests for such indul- gence must be made, m writing, by Orderly room hours, the reason being given. When on the score of sickness, the case must be 87 t'- atten- recommended by the Medical Officer in charge. In the event of sudden ilbess, the Medical Officer may exercise his own discretion, desirmg the Company Orderly to report the circumstance. 41. Requests for leave to marry must be recommended by the Officer commanding the Company, see Form No. 10, and should be accompamed with a certificate of the character of female. If ap- proved of, the application will be registered by the Adjutant In three calendar months afterwards, if the man still holds to his wish he will forward through the Captain of his Company, Form No 11 ' and if finally sanctioned, the last apphcation will be returned to the man with a notice upon it that the leave is granted. Any man man-ymg without leave, will have no claim to indulgence as a married man. All marriages whether with or without leave, must be registered in the Orderly Room. 42. On all occasions of a prisoner bemg brought before the Commanding Oficer, the Officer in charge of the Company will attend with the defaulter sheet, being ready to speak as to char- acter, at the Commanding Officer's or the prisoner's own request The Pay Serjeant and Orderly of the Company, will also attend whether they are evidence against the man or not. No prisoner should ever be allowed to go before a Court Martial, or into the presence of any Officer with cap or mitts on, or anything that could be used as a missile. Whenever a Non Commissioned Officer of full rank has committed himself, he will be kept ii- hh own room under arrest. If he is drunk and not fit to be left by himself, another Non Commissioned Officer must be placed in charge of liim. A Lance Corporal will be treated in the same way, with the exception that if he is drunk, he will be lodged in the Guard room until sober. 43. All crimes, passes, or daily reports, must be sent to the Orderly Room by 9 o'clock every morning. _ 44. Pay for single men must be issued daily, (Sundays excepted) immediately after morning parade, and in presence of an Officer. That of the married people will be issued at four stated periods each month, either in advance or otherwise, at the option of the Officer commaiiding the Company. This must also be done ir the presence of an Officer. Whenever a Captam dnp« nnf ih\r.h .„ to issue married men's pay in advaaice, if any man objects^o' w'^it r i'. •# Mil: 88 111 until hig week's pay is due to him, he may request it to be issued daiJy, with the single men's. 45. WTienever a man is confined for being absent without leave, or drunk, his kit must be inspected by the Pay Serjeant and Com- pany Orderly, previously to his crime being made out ; and in the event of any article being deficient, the saiae will form part of the charge against him. 46. Washing for single men will be regulated by the Officer commanding the Company. 47. Officers commanding Companies should impress upon their men the desirability of every one making his will, but particularly the marned men. Printed forms are kept in the Orderly Room, and will be issued when called for. 48. Owmg to the Regiment bemg always broken up into De- tachments, and as Officers are for the public convenience, frequently moved from one place to another, it is impossible to keep a roster of Officers for detachment. It iviU therefore be understood that, except there be a sufficient reason for any other course, when it is necessary to increase the number of Officers at any one post by weakening another, the Officer longest at the post will be the first to move. The same will apply to Head Quarters. When an Officer IS caUed upon to move, and obtains leave to exchange with another, the two exchange dates in the roster. In consideration of the^great difference between a move to Red River, and any other m Canada, there will be a distinct roster kept for that post. 49. All armed escorts must be inspected by the Adjutant, or some other Officer in his absence, before being marched off; and on return to barracks the Non Commissioned Officer in charge will not dismiss his men until he reports Iiis return to the Adjutant, or in his absence to the Serjeant Major. 50.^ Letters from Non Commissioned Officers and soldiers, reqmring to be franked, must be addressed according to Form No.' 26, and be prepaid with stamps. They will be given to the Com- pany Orderly, and by him left in the Orderly Room, by 9 a. m daily. ' 51. Whenever a fatigue or working party is called for by any PubUc Department, it will be ascertained by the Serjeant Major whether r^^n are to be paid for their labour. If so, he will call (( (( u 89 »po» the Company Orderly for a list of the names, ,,hioh he will hand over to the Quarter Master.

With regard to the person on canteen •wir' Hi duty, as it ;.g inexpedient in oerUiiu casea to prevent defaulters from entering the cante-n, that matter will be left to the diacretiou of Officers commanding posts. Otherwise the Non Commissioned Officer on the canteen will prevent men from drinking to excess, those fro'.n entering at all who have already the appearance of dnnk, ar.d wiU put a stop to all gambling and riotous conduct. On any disturbance he will call for the assistance of the Non Commis- sioned Officer of the Barrack Guard, and clear and close the premises, reporting his having done so to the Adjutant, or in his absence to the Orderly Officer of the day. 66. There will be kept in each Detachment Orderly Room, a roll according to Form No. 27, of men in the 2nd class, as per Horee Guards order, dated 9th November, 1859. Inasmuch as men degraded to the 2nd class, or restored to the Ist, will always appear m Regimental Orders, this list will be corrected accord- ingly, and when a man is brought to Court Martial, the Officer givmg evidence as to previous conviction. ^ be enabled by refer- ence to it, to state what class the prisonei )ngs to. 57. When men are brought to court mart.al on detachment, the Company defaulter book wUl be produced in evidence of former convictions, as per 158 Article of War. Extracts from the court martial or defaulters' book, of the Regiment or Company, is only admissible when none of these books can be conveniently produced. 58. The cuttmg up of ration wood in barrack rooms, kitchens, cooking or wash houses, and guard rooms, is strictly forbidden, as it tends to create heavy barrack damages. 59. When prisoners are disposed of by the Commanding Officer, they will, before being released, be kept in the Guard Room untU tattoo, unless the Commanding Officer especially orders it other- wise. 60. All prisoners previously to being brought before the Com- manding Officer, must be taken to hospital at the morning visit of the Surgeon, who wiU certify their state of health, accordmg to Form No. 23. This report is to be made out by the Non Com- missioned Officer in charge of the Regimental Barrack Guard, who will also as aforesaid, cause the prisoners to be marched to hospital under sufficient escort. The report is to be laid on the Command- 91 61. In ca. of transfer from one post to another each m»n', med,oa lustory sheet must bo sent with him.
