PRIVATE SOLDIERa The Active Militia, being her first line of defence, Canada has to depend npon it for the suppression of all internal disorders, and, in case of sudden invasion or war, must look, for a time at least, to that force alone for protection. Under these circumstances the Militiaman, whatever may be his motives for enrolling, whether they be founded in patriotism, military ardour, a passion for display, or a desire for recreation, should bear in mind that from the moment he is attested he becomes a soldier and a servant of the state, and as such, parts for a time with the privi- leges of citizenship, having no will of his own, no liberty of action, no nnrestraine'd freedom of speech. This is, no doubt, a severe trial to begin with, but it must be endured, for rigid discipline and perfect steadiness are indispensable in the ranks, and these can only be assured through the prompt resignation on the part of the soldier of all the license he may have enjoyed before entering the force. He should understand that subordination, in the moet exact signification of the term, is hu first and greatest obligation, as without it he is more dangerous and vexa- tious to his friends than to his enemies ; he degenerates into a brigand, and controverts the fundamental pripciples that gave him professional existence— the peace and safety 7 8- IXTEHIOR KCONOMY.

Silent, when in the ranks, clean in their persons and care- ful to keep their arms and accoutrements in good order. No soldier should speak slightingly or disrespectfully in any way of an Officer or Non-commissioned Officer, nor should he ever reply when in ranks if checked for neglect or irregularity. His thinking himself aggrieve., will by no means excuse disobedience or disrespect, but his com- plaint, if „,ade afterwards in a regular and respectful manner, will be attended to (see "Complaints.") Cursing and swearing, and the use of blasphemous and indecent language should never be indulged in. None but the most depraved minds can find pleasure in the use of brutal expressions. Drunkenness is a most serious crime and lenders a sold.er unfit to be truste,!. Those bearing such a character should be debarred from all indulgences, an.I receive severe punishment. SECTION II. NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. The accurate execution of the greater part of the duties of a Battalion is in a great measure dependent upon the alertness and skiU of the Non-commissioned Officers. The requisites for a good Non-commissioned Officer are sobriety, activity anH zeal in the performance of duty stnct attention to th- cution of, and obedience to every order which may b. .hen, vigilance and nndeviating exactness in requiring from his juniors and the men full and perfect performance of all duties required of them He should be pari^icnlar in his dress an.I a constant observer of passing occurrences, that he may obtain a 10 INTRRIOIl KCOHOMV. knowledge of the ouston,, auj rule, nf m. thereby enabled to Kt wir^ Jt * '*"""' ""' ^ require, to beTgZ M J^[*°f *"'' ■ """""''"^'y- He .-a „..e „„t alf ::r trtatreot" '^""^• their infl„tt,;Cn^^^^^ -or^ ,houldI f to Porformthe dutie, of'the rank, if nXlt ^^uld bo reduced by authority obtained from the Gen;,.!

PAYMASTER SIROEAKT. The Paymaster Sergeant is under the orders of the Pay- master, whom he generally assists. ORDERLY ROOM 8ER0KANT. The Orderly Room Sergeant is placed under the special charge and control of thr Adjutant ; he has & general superintendence of the assistant clerks, and everything connected with the orderly room. He should never speak of any business which may be transacted in the orderly room to any one, except the Adjutant and Sergeant-Major, nor allow the clerks under him to do so. As the supply of stationery is a heavy charge, the Orderly Room Sergeant should take especial care that no improper or useless cousumption thereof be permitted, and that every article of a durable kind be used so long as it is serviceable. BANDMASTSB, OB SERGEANT OF THE BAKD. The Bandmaster should be the sole instructor of the baud, subject only to the directions of the Commanding Officer and Band Committee ; no other should interfere either in the practice or public playing of the band. The discipline of the band, like that of the dmmmers, buglers, etc., is in the hands of the Adjutant. The Bandmaster should make such suggestions to the President of the Band Committee as he may consider NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. 21 beneficial to the band, with a view to their being for- warded to the Commanding Officer. He Bhould have charge of the clothing, appointment., mu..o and .astrumenta, being responsible to the Committee for the.r ,afe keeping. He shouhl insi^ct the instruments at regular periods, reporting to the President whenever an in.trument is broken or out of order, and be particular in the care of the mnsic. not permitting any copies of it to he b*en^ without the special sanction of the Commanding SERGEANT DRUMMER, FIFER, ETC. The Sergeant Drummer, Fifer, Piper or Bugler is under the immediate orders of the Adjutant; and responsible that the drummers, fifers, pipers or buglers are instructed m every part of their duty, that their instruments are kept in good order, that they practise daily under his superintendence, and that each is capable of performing his duty as a drummer, fifer, etc. He is also answerable for their conduct and general appearance, and keeps the roster of their duties. *^ He should not permit drums to be beaten, or bugle. Me. or pipe, to be sounded other than duty calls, except by orders from the Commanding Officer, Adjutant or" Sergeant Major. On parade he should take charge of the Band. «> far as relates to their movements during man^uvres, and m case of danger through frightened horses, or at the instance of the Commanding Officer, should stop the music. ^ PIONEER SERGEANT. The Pion««r Sergeant is in charge of the pioneers, and should be. If possible, a carpenter by trade. He should m r~mm mm 22 IMTBUIOR KCONOMV. have a thorough knowledge of hi, own, „ well „ .good idea of other trades. " m * gooa C^NTIBH SZROEANT. For dutiee, aee "Regimental Inatitute."

The most scrupnlons punctuality, ai> to time and place is required from every one concerned in any military duty. Officers should consider it a material point of duty to pay strict attention to the appearance and conduct of the Xon-com^ilasioned Officers and men, as well off as on duty. Officers are at all times to take notice of any slovenliness, they may observe in guards, picqueU, reliefs, fatigue parties or sentries. They should never permit any man to appear improperly dressed, or dirty in his person, or awkward or slovenly in the street, whether of their own or another Battalion, without noticing it, nor should they ever permit a soldier to pass without saluting, or allow a Non-commis- sioned Officer or private, when talking to them, to stand in a lounging or unsoldier-like manner. Officers should at all times endeavour to make each individual do his own duty. No sergeant is ever to be required to perform any duty which ought to be done by an Officer ; neither is an Officer to allow a sergeant to put his duty on a corporal ; each must do his own. The chain of responsibility should never be broken. Officers should be very careful not to reprimand or even speak to a man in liquor more than is necessary in confin- ing him, because it can have no good effect. A man in that condition is often led to a reply, and insolence of behaviour, which it becomes impossible to overlook.

When warning men for duty, it should never be done in a familiar man- ner, nor should any freedom either in conversation or behaviour be allowed. Men not in barracks at the time, should be warned at Tattoo, or if on pass, at Reveillt next morning. If he has any men for guard he should also be careful to warn a waiting man, who paradea with the guard, and remains in barracks to be ready to take the place of any man on guard, who may be taken sick.

At the o]o»e of each day he ehould take the duty roster to the Colour Sergeant, by whom it wiU be checked. It ahoald aUo be frequently inapeoted by the Captain. There 112 is no necessity for au Onlerly Sergeant to have a dear roster when he commences his duties, but, at the same time, it is desirable to prevent disputes, and, therefore, he cannot be too particular in carefully and legibly recording ' every detail in connection with the duties which fall to the share of his men, so that it can be seen at a glance if they are being properly distributed. On all occasions of the bugle sounding for Company Orderly Sergeants, he should immediately repair to the regimental parade gronnd, and the orders he may receive there should be immediately communioated to all con- cerned. He should be provided with a small detail book, in which is entered the names of all Non-commissioned Officers, and the number of men required for duty, and the duties which they are for (Form 19).

There should be a Cook a.-.d assistant Cook for each company. The former should be changed only at long intervals, or for misconduct; the latter weekly, or oftener, if necessary. The Cook should be held responsible th.it the meals are ready to be removed from the cook-house by the first bugle sounding. Care should be taken by him not to have them ready too soon ; this is as grave a fault as the meals being too Ute. He should be particular in having the kettles cleaned thoroughly, both before and after the 114 cooking of each meal. When a sufficient number of kettle* can be had, one should be set apart for soups or stews, another for tea and coffee, and another for putatoes. He should pay the utmost attention to the cleanliness of the cook-house, and to his manner of cooking the rations. He should accompany the company Orderly Corporal at the issue or purchase of groceries for the company's mess- ing, and is responsible, as well as the Corporal, for the proper expending of the mesa money, and the articles furnished being of good quality. The barrack utensils, as enumerated on the board of inventory in the cook-house, she aid be under his special charge, and on the completion of his tour of duty, should there be any deficiencies or damage, a memorandum of the same should be given by the Company Orderly Sergeant to the Colour Sergeant, so that at the barrack inspection the charges may be made against the proper individuals. The refuse of meat, etc., should be sold under contract made by the Commanding Officer, the proceeds being divided among the companies, and carried to the credit of messing, or used for the purchase of white clothing for the cooks. The assistant Cook should assist the Cook to wash the potatoes, clean and cut up vegetables, carry in water, empty slops, and assist in cutting wood for cooking pur- poses. Ho should be in charge of the cook-house when the Cook may be at any time temporarily absent. ORDERLY MBf OF ROOMS OR TKKTS. There should be one or two (according to the number of men) Orderly men to each room or tent, their duties con- tinuing from SeveUle to Beveille. Except for parade purposes, they should not leave the ORDERLIKS OF ROOMS OB TENTS. 115 barracks or camp the day they are on duty. They should be held responsible for the general cleanliness of that part of the barrack room common to all, or of their tent, also the cleanliness and completeness of the furniture and uten- sils, reporting all deHciencies and damages to the Non- commissioned Officer in charge as soon as they are dis- ooTered or happen. They should carry out all slops, remove sweepings, and keep the quarters at all times well supplied with fresh water, light the fires, and remove the urine tubs to the place appointed for them, and partly fill with water, within half an hour after Beveille sounding. They should I 'pare the tables for the different meals, attend the cook- house at the warning bugle, and receive from the Com- pany's cook the rations for the men of their rooms ; divide the meals into single messes, and have everything ready for their comrades to take their scats by the time the second bugle sounds. Also be responsible that the meals of the men on guard are ready to be handed over to those appointed to carry them before the second bugle sounding. After meals, they should wash the dishes or mess tins and put them away in proper order. They should attend at the place appointed for the issue of rations and consider it their duty, if they think them not of proper qu . ty, to bring the same respectfully to the notice of the Orderly Officer, through the Company Orderly Corporal. They should take back the urine tubs to the barrack rooms by Retreat sounding, and be held responsible that the dampers of the stoves (in winter time) are shut at lighU out, and at aU times during the day keep a watchful eye upon the stoves to prevent accidents by fire. They should attend upon the Orderly Corporal for the allowance of light for the room, and also assist in dividing the Company'.'* allow- ance of wood by rooms. Orderly men of rooms should he available for all general parades and drills. 116 PASSAGE OB STAIRS 0RDERLIX8. In barracks it is also necessary to have passage or stair orderlies warned daily, whose duty it should be to keep those parts of the barracks clean ; in camp the same super- vision would be required for the spaces between Company lines. SECTION V. DRILLS AND PARADES. Drill is the discipline of the body, bat tends also materially to discipline the mind, and, as the discipline of the mind is a nundred-fold more important to the efficiency of the soldier, the constant practice of drill, in which all ranks have to render instantaneous and silent obedience to the commands of their superiors, is absolutely necessary. The efficiency of a Battalion is estimated in a great degree from the manner in which it drills ; if there is talking in the ranks it is a sure sign that its discipline is of a low order. Complete silence when on pai'ade or at drill is a matter to be particularly attended to ; no matter what, in the soldier's opinion, may be going wrong, he should keep the opinion to himself ; if he expresses it some one is sure to answer, talking becomes general, and disorder is thus created, which, under fire, would certa'nly lead to disaster. In all moments of confusion remember that the first step towards the re-establishment of order is the hushing of all voices. A Battalion should be practised in mancenvres by the senior OflSccr present on parade, but no deviation from DRILLS AND PARADF.S. 117 the established reguUtiong shouhl be permittcl. Captains of Companies should be frequently called on for Oils duty, and the juniir Subalterns to command Companies.

At the completion of the Annual DWl there should be a muster parade, which all officer, and men, except euch 126 as are on giiitrd ur sick, should attend and aiiswor to their names. This parade is usually in fatigue dress, and the roll should be called by companies from the pay lists, in the presence of a District Staff Officer. As each Officer or man's name is called, he should move . out from his company, answering: "Here, Sir," salute and pass before the Staff OlTicer, the compauics being re-formed on another part of the parade ground. Should an officer or man not be entitled to the full number of days' pay for the drill, the amount that is due him should be called out after his name. In the Imperial service this parade takes place semi- annually. ORDERLr ROOM PARADE. Prisoners should be marched under escort to the Orderly Room remaining outside until each case is called — the evideno.es should also be there, and bo arranged as to be really when required. The Sergeant- Major, who should stand at the door of the orderly room, marches in each prisoner with escort and evidence as they are wanted, taking off the prisoner's head dress as he enters ; the whole party standing in line opposite the Commanding Officer, the prisoner next or between bis escort. The Adjutant should read the crime report and the Commanding Officer then calls the first evidence by rank and name, who says, " Sir, I was Company Orderly Ser- geant of — Co'y on the — inst., I called the roll at Tattoo and found the prisoner absent," or ** as Non-commissioned Officer on gate duty on the — inst. , the prisoner returned to barracks at 9 p.m. drunk, I confined him."

The Sergeant- Major on the award being ^ven marches the prisoner and escort, etc., out of the orderly room. The prisoner's Captain should always be present with his Defaulter book as reference to a man's previous char- acter, the Colour and Compauy Orderly Sergeants should also attend, but remain outside, and are informed by the Sergeant-Major of the award as the prisoner is marched out. PIELD KIT IKSPECnOS PARADE. Companies should be formed in "column by the left," the rear and supernumerary ranks ordered to step back two paces, and then the files opened to full interval (arms length) from the left. Both ranks should then ground arms, knapsacks or valises be taken off, and kits laid out in front of each man as he stands, in the following order : First, knapsack or valise with greatcoat and mess tin attached on the ground, trousers on the greatcoat, holdall open laid on the trousers, pair of socks one on each side, shirt, towel, soap, sponge, pipeclay, spare laces, blacking and brushes in front of knapsack. Accoutrements should remain on the men, and all Non- commissioned Officers below the rank of Sergeant show kit. 128 FL'NERAL PARADE. In the formation of a parade for a military funeral everything ia reversed, as for instance the arms of the Escort or firing party, the position of the Sergeant Drum- mer or Bugler, while the different ranks follow the chief mouruers in inverse order, that is juniors preceding. For the strength and distribution of Escorts for the decease)}, attention is called to the Queen's Regulations, Sec. Ill, Para. 35, while other regulations are prescribed in Paras. 36-42 of the same authority, and in the matter of formation and movement reference is called to the *' Infan- try Drill," 1896, Sec. 203, and " Rifle Exercises," 1898, Sec. 54. Previous to the reception of the body by the Escort, the troops that are to follow should be drawn up in two ranks at ten paces apart, turning inwards, the Privates being placed nearest the Escort, then Corporals, Sergeants, Lieutenants, ('aptains. Majors, Lieut. -Colonels, etc., in the direction which the processi*'n is to take. This order of formation should not be affected by the presence of more than one corps ; it applies equally to regimental and garrison funerals, the different ranha being together and not corps. The Kscort, Band, Body and Chief Mourners having passed the inner flank, the several ranks in succession, beginning with the privates, turn inwards singly or doubly, according to the strength of the parade, thus forming files or fours. With a half Battalion or larger force the Adjutant and Sergeant-Major should take general direction on the lino of march, and move in such positions as to best regulate and control the procession. DISMI8SIN(;.— DRAWING SWORDS OW PABAl):i 129 In returning from the place of burial the usual forma- tion ihould be reaumed, the Escort leading. DISMISSING PARADKS. Before being dismissed, a parade should be formed in "column by the left" on the same ground upon which it fell in, previous to the drill. On the Commanding Officer calling, "Fall out, the Officers," at the end of a parade, the Officers should all proceed towards him, saluting with their swords as they come, and then " returning " them, move to the rear of the Commanding Officer. After receiving his instructions, they should salute with the right hand and leave the parade. The parade, if a Commanding Officer's, should be handed to the Adjutant, or, if the Adjutant's, to the Sergeant-Major, who'should dismiss ii as a whole, the men leaving the parade quietly, with arms at the "Shoulder." Companies may be ordered to their "pri- vate parades," when Captains march them off and dismiss by companies in a similar manner. Officers, when called out by the Commanding Officer dunng a parade, should salute with their swords, both on approaching and leaving him, coming to the "Carry" in the interval. No Battalion, company or party should be either di> missed or marched off a ground without permission being first obtamed by the person in command thereof, of the senior Officer present, without respect to the branch of the service to which such senior Officer may belong. DBAWIHQ SWOKDS OK PARADE. , Swords should not be drawn in a slovenly manner, but according to the instructions laid down in the " Infantry Sword Exercise." 9 130 All Officers, except aa below specified, should draw their awonU on parade without further ordem when the " Advance " socndg, or on the command, "March on your markers." The senior Officer in the command of a p-vrade should not draw his sword, neither .lo Medical Officers, Quarter- Masters or Staff Sergeants, except the Sergeant-Major, and he only when the Colour is trooped. Staff-officers, or Officers acting on the divisional or bri- gade staff, should never draw their swords on parade ; but Officers acting as brigadiers Jo, should there be any senior Officer present in uniform. WVsn rien parade without arms (aa when Royalty, etc., visits a camp, or Writh side-arms only, as on Church parade), no Officer should draw his sword. Officers on falling out, when the sword is not drawn, salute with the right hand. BANDS OS FARADR. Each Battalion should have its own tunes for marching past, viz ; — (1) For column. (2) For quarter-column. (3) For double time. Ko Battalion, except when ordered to the contrary, aa when the banda are brigaded, should march past to any other tune than its c*wn. The airs fixed upon should be published in orders, and strictly adhered to until officially changed. When a Battalion is parading in the open air, the band ahould begin to play after the '* Officers' call " has sounded, and continue during the inspectiuii of companiea. When marching out, the Sergeant DmiLmor should be p. BANDS ON rAUADE. — ADDBESSINU OFFICERS. 131 i attentive to keep the band »t the proper distance from the head of the Battalion (twelve paces), and to accommodate the length of pace to that of the Sergeant- Major, who, marching at the head of the corps, regulates the length of pace of ail. When there is no Advanced Guard, the Sergeant Drum- mer or Pioneer Sergeant should be informed of the route to be followed. No band, when marching by itself and unaccompanied by troops, should play. When a brigade marches past, the bands should l)e brigaded under the senior band master, and the particular air belonging to each Battalion be played as it passes the saluting point, or the same air for all. In the former case, during the intervals between successive Battalions, the drums only beat for a abort time a flourish, dividing as it were the tunes, except during the interval before and after Rifle Battalions, when the buglers usually sound a flourish. HANNEK OF ADORE8SINO OFFICERS. On any parade or duty, whether under arms or not, all Oflicers addressing their seniors, whether of like or superior rank, should apply to them the title of " Sir." Officers, both on and ofiF dnty, ^hen Fpeaking to a Gen- eral (or Officer acting as such) or to the Officer command- ing their Battalion, should address him as "Sir." This rule applies also to Staff Officers towards the superior Officer to whose staff they are attached. A Lieutenant-colonel should be ad .essed by Officers of equal or senior rank, or by those with whom he is familiar, as "Colonel," the word "Lieutenant," when speaking to or of such an Officer, being omitted. 132 Majora should be aildreMed "Sir" by the Officers of their own Battalion. In coDversatiou they may, when spoken to or of, be called by their rank only. Thus : "Do you think bo. Major ! " "Take thi« to the Major." When addreaainK a Captain (if hia rank ia mentioned) he should invariably be called both by rank and name. Thua : "Good momiiig, Captain Naah," not "Good morning, Captain." In like manner, when apeaking of these Officers to inferiora, their name and rank should be mentioned : " Tell Captain Foster," etc. Lieutenarta should never be addreaaed or spoken of by their rank, either on parade, duty or otherwise, except under grave circumstances, as when an Officer is arraigned for trial, or ia being) rebuked by hia Commanding Officer. They are to be addressed or spoken of aa " Mr." " Fall in, Mr. Close," " Take thia to Mr. Hoartie8 or men engaged in fatigue duty to cease their work in order to salute an Officer who BALUTB8, CUMPLIMENTM, ETC. 135 happens to paM, but, if oddrewed by an Officer, a soldier so employed should cease his work and salute in the proper manner, and, in any case, the Non-commissioned Officer in charge should salute. If an Officer enters a room or a tent, any Non-commissioned Officer present, or the man who first sees tl a OfBoi-r, should call out " attention," the whole assuming tiiit position till the Officer leaves. The senior of two or more Officers only should retnrn.a salute, nor does an Officer with his sword drawn return a salute. When a salute at reviews is given, all Officers on the grouud in uniform as spectators should turn toward the saluting point and salute with the right hand. Officers attending reviews in uniform as spectators, during the march past, should place themselves in rear of the saluting point. Individual Officers or men meeting or passing troops with the Colours uncased should be careful to salute the latter, also the Commanding Officer (if senior). In a civil court an Officer or soldier should take off bis head-dress while the judge or magistrate is present, except when on duty with a party under arms inside the court. At all inspection., or reviews a " General Salute " should only be given to such Officers as are by regulations entitled to the compliment ; other Officers will be received at the "Shoulder." Commanding Officers of garrisons, camps or stations under the rank of a General Officer will be received by the troops under their command with the honours duo to the rank one degree higher than that which they actually hold. When a corps is inspected in line the Commanding Officer only accompanies the Inspecting Officer down the ranks. 136 DUTIRS.

This is not, however, appUoable to Staff Officers when actually engaged in carrying an order j at such times the salute should be given without checking the pace. A Non-commissioned Officer in charge of a party should, on meeting an Officer, pay him the prescribed compliment." When a Oeneral Officer visits the men at their meals, on "attention" being called, they should stand up untU directed to the contrary. When visited by any other Officer, they ait at " attention." At an; other time no soldier is ever to be off the position of "attention," or to continue sitting when met or visited in his quarters by an Officer ; nor should any soldier continue talking or cleaning his arms or accoutrements while an Officer is present until directed to the contrary. AID OK TIIK CIVIL FOWKH. 137 SECTION VI. AID OF THE CIVIL POWER. No more diugreeable or oneroiu duty can be enUiled upon »oldier« than aid to the Civil Power, nor in which more patienco, intelligenoo an.l firmness are required from both Officers and men. Fortunately, it is a duty th.-it seldom occurs, but, as the necessity may arise, and there are particular reKulations laid down fur the calling out of troops, pay and sulwistence, and for their conduct during the service, it is thought advisable to embody them in this book. The Militia Act and the Regulations and Onlers for the Militia prescribe as under: — The Active Militia, or any corps thereof, shall )w liable to be called out for active service with their arms and ammunition, in aid of the Civil Power in any case in which a riot, disturbance of the jwace, or other emergency requiring such service occurs, or is, in the opinion of the civil authorities hereinafter mentioned anticipated as likely to occur, and, in either case, to be beyond the powers of the civil authorities to suppress or to prevent or deal with —whether such riot, disturbance or other emergency occurs or is bo anticipated within or without the munici- pality in which such corps is raised or organized. The senior Officer of the Active Militia present at any locality shall call out the same or such jwrtion thereof as he considers necessary for the purpose of preventing or suppressing any such actual or anticipated riot or disturb- ance, or for the purpose of meeting? and dealing with any such emergency as aforesaid, when thereunto rMjiiired in writing by the chairman or custos of the Quarter Sessions 138 UUTIR8. of tha Pe«o«, or by any three Juiticei of tli' Peace, of whom the warden, mayor or other head of the munici- pality or county in which luch riot, diitnrbance or other emergency occun or i« anticipated, a* aforeaaid, may be one ; and he ihall obey auoh inatractioni aa are lawfully ((iven to him by any justice of the peace in regard to the •uppreaaion of any auoh actual riot or diiturhance, or in regard to the anticipation of auch riot, disturbance or other emergency, or to the suppreaaion of the same, or to the aid to be given to the Civil Power in oaae of any such riot, diaturbanoe or other emergency. Every anch requjaition in writing, as aforeaaid, shall expreaa on the face thereof the actual occurrence of a riot, disturbance or emergency, or the anticipation thereof, requiring such service of the Active Militia in aid of the Civil Power for the suppression thereof. Every Officer and man of such Active Militia, or any portion thereof, shall, on every such occasion, obey the orders of his Commanding Officer, and the Officers and men when so called out, shall, without any further or other appointment, and without taking any oath of office, be special constables, and shall be considered to act as such as long as they remain so called out ; but they shall act only as a military body, and shall be individually liable to obey the orders of their military Commanding Officer only. When the Active Militia, or any corps thereof, is so called out in aid of the Civil Power, the municipality in which their services are required shall pay them, when so employed, the rates authorized to be paid for actual service to Officers and men, and one dollar per diem for each hnrae actually and necessarily used by them, together with an allowance of one dollar to each officer, fifty cents to each man per diem in lieu of subsistence; and fifty cents per All) or TIIK (^IVIL POWKK. 139 diem in lieu of forage foresch liurae, auil, in addition, iliall provide them witli proper loilging and with ituliiing for their boreea ; and the aaiil pay and allowanvea for sulwiat- once and forage, aa alio the valiiu of lodging and ataliling, unleaa furuisiiud in kind by tiie miiniciiMlity, may be recovered from it by the Otiiuer commanding the corjw, in Ilia own name, and, when ao recovered, aball be paid over to the peraona entitled thereto, Sucb pay and allowancea of the force called out, to- gether with reoaonalde coat of transport may, pending payment by the municipality, )>e a. 1 >urred expense by reason of the Militia being so in aid of the Civil Power, for preventing or - 1 . - . -; a riot or disturbance of the peace beyond the (juwe.- of the civil authorities to deal with, and not local or provincial in its origin, by which riot or disturbance of the peace conveyance of such mails might be obstructed, the Governor in Council may pay or reimburse out of any moneys which are provided by Parliament for the pur- pose, such part as seems just of the proper expenses incurred by any municipality, by reason of any part of the Active Militia being so called out in aid of the Civil Power. 140 DUTIES. No Officer is to go out with Militia for the purpose of aiding in tlie auppreuion of a riot, the maintenance of the public peace or the execution of the law, except upon the requisition in writing requited nnder the provisions of the preceding paragraph. In oases where aid is applied for, in the manner pro- vided by law, the senior Officer of the Active Militi.i to whom the requisition is addressed will immediately inform the Officer commanding the District thereof, by telegram, for transmission to Head-Quarters. If the requisition is addressed to the Officer commanding in any District as senior Officer at the place where aid is required, he will immediately notify the Adjutant-General at Head-Quarters by telegram. As soon as possible after a corps has been called out in aid of the Civil Power, a written report containing a copy of the requisition for aid and full particulars relating to the nature and cause of the required service and the action taken thereon, is to be sent to the Adjutant-General at Head-Quarters, in addition to the telegram specified in the previous paragraph. Officers of the Active Militia have no discretionary power as to the necessity for aid, they would therefore incur a grave responsibility if they failed to afford aid when required to do so. Every Officer or man of the Militia who, when his corps is lawfully called npon to act in aid of the Civil Power, refuses or neglects to go out with such corps, or to obey any lawful order of his superior Officer, shall incur a penalty, if an Officer, not exceeding one hundred dollars, and if a man of the Militia, not exceeding twenty dollars for each otfence. AID OF TUB CIVIL POWKR. 141 Any Militia force proceeding in aid of the Civil Power, must invariably have the requisite quantity of ammuni- tion served out to them before going on duty. The unused portion of this supply is t» be collected imme- diately after the duty has been performed, and returned without delay into the magazine from which it was iaued. The Officer Commanding is to move to the place to which he shall be directed by any one of the magistrate^ who signed the requisition ; he is to take care that the men under his command march in regular military order, with the usual precautions, and that they are not scattered, detached, or posted in a situation in which they may not be able to act in their own defence. The Magistrate is to accompany the force, and the Officer is to remain near him. When the number of the detachment is under twenty files, it is to be told off into four sections. If there should be more than twenty files, the detachment is to be told off into more sections than four. All commands to the men are to be given by the Officer. They are not, on any account, to fire except by word of command of their Officer, who is to exercise a humane discretion in deciding both as to the number of rounds and the object to be aimed at, and is not to give the word of command to fire unUxs dittinetly required to do ao by the magutrate. In order to guard against all misunderstanding, Officers commanding corps or detachments, are on every occasion on which they are employed in the suppression of riots, or in the enforcement of the Uw, to take the meet effectual means, in conjunccion with the magistrates nnder whose orders they may be placed, for notifying beforehand and explaining to the people opposed to them that in the event of the men being ordered to fire, their fire will be •ffactiTe. 142 If the Commanding Officer should be of opinion that a slight effort would be sufficient to attain the object, he is to give the word of command to one or two specified files to fire. If a greater effort should be required, be is to give the word of command to one of the sections, told off as a^ve ordered, the fire of the other sections being kept in reserve till necessary ; and when required, the fire of each of them being given by the regular word of command of the Commanding Officer. If there should be more officers than one with the de- tachment, and it should be necessary that more sections than one should fire'at a time, the Commanding Officer is to fix ppon, and clearly indicate to the men, what Officer is to order any number of the sections to fire ; such Officer is to receive his directions from the Commanding Officer; after the latter shall have received the requisition of the magistrate to fire. No other individual, excepting the one indicated by the Commanding Officer, is to give orders to any file or section to fire. The firing is to cease the instant it is no longer neces- sary, whether the magistrate may order the cessation or not. Care is to be taken not to fire upon persons sepa- rated from the crowd. It is to be observed, that to fire over the heads of a crowd engaged in an illegal pursuit, would have the effect of favouring the mo&b dariug and the guilty, and might have the effect of sacrificing the less daring and even the innocent. If firing sliould unfortunately be necessary, and should 1>e ordered by the magistrate, officers and men must feel that they have a very serious duty to perform ; and they must perform it with coolness and steadiness, and in such manner as to be able to discontinue their fire at the instant at which it shall be found there is no longer occasion for it AID OF THE CIVIL POWER 143 When the Bervices of any force called out in aid of the Civil Power are no longer required for the purposes for which it was called out, the magistrate or magistrates who signed the requisition for aid, or a majority of them if signed by three, of whom the warden, mayor, or other . head of the municipality or county shall be one, shall notify the Officer Commanding the Active Militia then present to that effect, who shall thereupon withdraw th» force from such duty. On completion of the duty for which the force was called out, an immediate report thereof, in writing, is to be made by the Commanding Officer to the Offi.jr Com- manding the District for transmission to Head-Quarters. The Officer commanding the troop, battery, company, or battalion, will also prepare a pay list specifying the several sums authorized by law in respect to the service, and cause the value thereof to be.paid by the municipality. If more than one troop, battery, company, or battalion has been employed, these duties will devolve upon the Officer who oonunanded the whole force called out. PART III. DISCIPLINE. Duoipline means obedience to orden, which is the first principle and duty of all soldierB. The best disciplined soldier is he who most implicitly obeys, not only in the letter, but in the spirit, all orders which ho may receive. Without discipUne there can be no real bond of confidence between Officers aad men, or even between men themselves, »a.; without it no great results can ever be attained. Life in r highly disciplined corps is always more pleasant than ; ; i>ne where order and regularity are not strictly main- tained. Respectful obedience is the only true basis upon which sound discipline can rest. It must not have its origin in fear or dread of punishment, but should be rendered from the conviction that the orders emanate from a superior not only in rank, but in knowledge. Officers and men of the Militia, when called out for active service, the annual drill, or for any parade or drill, or when in uniform, are subject to the " Army Act," and all other laws applicable to Her Majesty's troops in Canada, as are not inconsistent with the MUitia Act A Commanding Officer cannot pay too much attention to the prevention of crime, but he should bear in mind that the positive absence of crime, and not its screened existence, is the criterion of a well-established discipline. In all first offences, not of an aggravated character, mild r ^roof and admonition should be tried, and punishment not resorted [144] DI8CIPLINB. UJ to, until a repetition of the offence ahall have shown that the milder treatment has not been productive of the deaiiod effect. ^^The methods of command and treatment should be such ^■to ensure discipline, and, at the same time, foster self- respect. The use of intemperate language or an offensive manner must be carefully avoided. Commanding Officers should use their utmost vigilance to prevent Officers, Non-commissioned Officers or men, publisLing information relative to the numbers, movements, or operations of troops, or any military details j nor should they permit any letters of complaint to be published, or memorials or requisitions to be made without their consent. Any Officer or soldier should be held personally responai' ble for reports of this kind which he may make without special permission, or for placing the information beyond his control, so that it finds its way into unauthorized hands. Officers and soldiers should be forbidden to give publicity to their individual opinions, in any manner tending to prejudge questions, that may at the time be undergoing > official investigation by the authorities. No assemblage of Officers, Kon-commissioned Officers or men, should ever take place for the purpose of deliber- ating on any military matter without the consent of the Commanding Officer. Neither Officers nor men as such should be permitted to take part in any political, religious, or party demonstration. Officers should avoid reproving Non-commissioned Offi- cers for any irregularity, neglect of duty, or awkwardness, in the presence or hearing of the privates, lest they should weaken their authority and lessen their self-respect — unless it be necessary for the benefit nf nxample that the reproof be public. 10 146 DISCIPLIIia. HILTTARir LAW. In order to maintain proper discipline it ha» been found neceuary to confer special powers upon the military authorities to enable them to deal with ofTenoes whicl^** would be either impossible or dangerous to leave to t Civil Power. Military Law, which governs the soldier in peace and war, at all times and in all places, is regular in its procedure, is administered according to an authorized code, and deals only with soldiers, and persons (such as camp followers, etc.,) who are from circumstances subjected to it It is embodied ih the Army Act of 1881 (which is part of the statute law in England and is recognized by all Civil Courts), and the Canadian Militia Act. The Army Act applies to the Canadian Militia in all oases where it is not inconsistent with the Militia Act. The administration of the code is simplified by means of Rules of Procedure, Regulations, and Orders which lay down the manner in which the law is to be carried out by the military courts. MAKTIAI. LAW. The following definitions of Martial Law have at differ- ent times been given :— " The law of the soldier applied to theoivilian" ; "Theunionof legislative, judicial and eieou- tive power in one person" ; " Tho -"KU of the General of the army," but the most comprehensive is VSway exer- cised by a military commander over all persons, whether civil or military, within the precincts of his command in places where there is either no civil Uw or where the civil law has ceased to exist." Martial Law has no written code, but the General who proclaims it is bound to lay down rules and limits as to its application. F0WBR8 OF A COMMANDINU OmCBK. 147 SECTION I. POWERS OF A COMMANDINQ OFFICER. A Commanding Officer, in the ordinary aense of the word, meana an Officer whoae duty it ia, in accordance with the usual custom of the service, to deal with olTeiices a-.id either dispose of them on his own authority, or refer the cases to superior authority. It also means, for the summary award of finea for drunkenness, the Officer commanding a Squadron, Battery or Company. In some portions of the Army Act the term Command- ing Officer has a wider meaning, and refers to an Officer of superior rank who holds a position of command. The Commanding Officer of a detachment has the same powers of punishment as the Commanding Officer of a corps, but such power may be restricted to any extent if lie be under the rank of a substantive Major. The Commanding Officer may cither deal summarily with the following offences or convene a Regimental Court Mirtial for the purpose ; 1. Leav'ng his guard or picquet, forcing a safeguard, striking a sei^try, sleeping, or being drunk upon, or leaving }:is post (except on active service). 2. Using threatening or insubordinate language to a superior officer (except on active service). 3. Disobeying a lawful command of a superior officer (except on active service). 4. Resisting lawful custody or breaking out of bar- racks. 148 DI8CIPL1NB. f • 8. Neglootiiig to obey any general, guriaon or other order. 0. Amisting or conniving at desertion. 7. Abeence without leave, or from parade, or being f onnd out of bounda. 8. Malingering or miacondnct in hospital. 9. Drunkennefi. 10. Permitting a prisoner to escape. 11. Irregularity in detaining and reporting a prisoner. 12. Escaping from lawful custody. 13. Losing by neglect or making away with arms, ammunition, clothing, equipment or necessaries, or mak- ing away with military deoorationn. 14. Wilfully injuring the property of an officer, soldier, regimental institution or of the public, or ill-treating a Government horse. 15. Making a false statement in order to prolong a furlough. IC. Making a false statement on attestation. 17. Infringement of the enlistment regulations. 18. Conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline. First and less se. lous offences under the above headings should, as a rule, be dealt with summarily. A Commanding Officer, in dealing with an offence com- mitted by a soldier, may award the following punishments. The decision in each case is invariably to be written down by the Commanding Officer himself on the guard report before the prisoner leaves the room. When he awards punishment for an offence, he cannot afterwards increase it, but he may remit. P0WEB8 OF A COMMANDINO OPPICKR. UO /■ If a t'ommauding Officer intends to award a punishment other than a minor one, ho must ask the prisoner if he -will be tried siAimarily by him or be dealt with by a District Court Martial This right to dcmaml trial by District Court Martial is restricted to private soldiers. In the case of a Non-commissioned Officer, he can award, reprimand, or severe reprimand, or can order an acting Kon-commiisioned Officer or a N (in-commissioned Officer holding an appointment to revert to his jwrmanent grade, but cannot award other punishment in addition. In case of a private soldier, a Commanding Officer may admonish, or (subject to the soldier's right to elect, pre- vious to the awanl, to be tried by District Court Martial) inflict the following summary punishments : Imprisonment up to twenty-one (21) days (with or without hard labour) for the offence of absence without leave j but the iiumber of days imprisonment awarded, if it exceed seven, must not be more than the number of (lays of absence. Imprisonment up to fourteen (14) days (with or without hard labour) -.—Imprisonment exceeding seven da.ya.(.exeept in cases of absence without leave) cannot be awarded by an officer under the rank of field officer. When imprisonment exceeding seven days is awarded, a minor punishment (C. B., etc.) must not be given in addition. Imprisonment s'.iould never bo awarded in cases of drunkenness not triable by Court Martial, except when unpaid fines amount to $4.86 and upwards, and, if so awarded, should be in lieu of a line. Awards of imprisonment up to seven days inclusive, will be, in hours, exceeding that in days. The term, when awarded in days, is reckoned from the tirst minute of the 150 DISCI P LI KR. day of award ; when in liouni, frum the hour at which the prisoner ii received into priion. When impruonment exceeding aeven day» ia kwarded for aljaenoe without leave, a minor puniuhment nmat nut be given for the offence of abaeuce. Deprivation of pay for abaenoe without leave not exceed- ing five day« (abaence over aix houra either wholly in one day or partly in one and partly in another couuta as a day), which may becumbined with impriaonmentor confinenieut to barracka. Over five daya' abaence, pay ia forfeite• of a character too Hrioiu to be dia- |ioMd of by a Comnunding Officer, the priioner ehould Iw tried by Oonrt Martial. No penon can be tried for an offence if three yeart hare elapnd since it* oomminion, except for desertion on artiiv nerviee and mutiny ; for either of which an offender can be tried at any time. Desertion (not on active service) and fraudalent enlist- ment, can always be tried nnless a man has served three yean without a regimental entry since the commission of the offence. Courts Martial can punish any military offence and any civil offence mentioned in the Army Act, such as sedition, assault, etc. They have also the power to punish any civil offence punishable by civil law except treason, tr«ason-felony, murder, manslaughter, rape, which cannot bu tried by Court Martial except at a place more than 100 miles from a competent civil court. These reatiictiona do not, how- ever, apply to Field General Courts Martial which hare powers under certain circumstances to try any offence. By the Army Act the degree* of Courts Martial are classed thus ; 1. Regimental, \ 2. District, | Ordinary. 3. General, ) 4. Field General, KxccptionaL COURTS MAUTIAU 153 1. KtgimeHtal. A Regimental Court MartUl may bo convened by mny Officer authorized to convene Oencral or Witriot Courti Martial, or any Commanding Officer not below the rank of Captain ; also any officer of a rank not below that of captain when in command of two or more coipa or por* tions of two or more corpa ; or on board a ihip, a Com- manding Officer of any rank.

Fi>r cases not dealt with summarily a District Court Martial should as a rule lie convenud. 2. District. A District Court Martial can only be convened by an Officer authorized to convene General Courts Martial, or by an Officer deriving authority to do so from him. It should not in Canada consist of less than tj^ree Officers, each of whom must have held a commission for two years. It has not power to try an Officer, nor award the punishment of death or penal servitude, its hmits being imprisonment with or without hard labour for a period not exceeding two years, forfeiture of good con- duct, or deferred pay, discharge with ignominy, or reduc- tion. 154 DISCIPLISB.

A Field General Court Martial ia for the trial of offences against the property or person of inhabitants or residents of a country beyond the seas, or on active service, which cannot practically, be tried by an ordinary General Court Martial, and may be convened by the Officer in command of the detachment or portion of troops to which the offender belongs, although he may not be authorized to convene any other kind of Court MartiaL It should con- sist of not lee. than three members, and tlie convening Officer may presiile if he cannot obtain another, but he should not, ir practicable, be under the rank of Captain. Its powers aro those of a General Court Martial, except that a sentence of death r> quires the concurrence of all the members. The following are debarred from being members of any Court Martial in Canada for the trial of a militiaman : an Officer of Her Majesty's army upon full pay, the convening Officer, the prosecutor or witness for the prosecution, the prisoner's Commanding Officer, or the Officer who investi- gated the charges on which a prisoner is arraigned, or was a member of a Court of Inquiry respecting the charges against him, or has a personal interest in the case, save in the case of Field General Court Martial, when only the prosecutor. Provost Marshal, witness for prosecution, or one who has a personal interest in the case are ineligible. All members of a Court Martial must be subject to military law. The rules of procedure are similar in all classes of Courts Martial, except in that of a Field General Court Martial, for which special rules are prescribed. Any person required to give evidence before a Court Martial, may be summoned or ordered to attend, and if 166 DI8CIPUNB. «uch person not being enrolled in the Active Militia ghall, after payment or tender of reasonable expeuBes, make de- fault in attending ; or if in attendance as a witness, refuses to take the oath or affirmation legally required by a Court Martial ; or refuses to answer any question, or produce any document legally required ; or is guilty of any con- tempt towards the Court Martial ; may, on the oertiHcate of the President of the Court Martial to a Judge of any court of law in the looaUty, be punished if found guilty, m the same manner as if the offence had been committed in a civil court. The foUowing offences arc by the Militia Act made speciaUy liable for (rial and pumshment by Court Martial. An Officer who shaU knowingly claim pay, on account of drills performed with his corps, for any man belonging to another corps, or who shall include in any parade state or other return, any man not duly enroUed and attested as a Militiaman. , An CMficer or Non-oommisaioned Officer who obtains ' under false pretences, or retains or keeps in his possession with intent to apply to his own use or benefit, any of the pay or moneys belonging to an Officer or man of any corps, or who may sign a false parade state, roll, return, or pay- list, or makes a false affidavit or declaration. Any Non-commissioned Officer or man who may claim or receive pay for drill performed in the ranks of any other than his own corps, or in more than one corps during the annual drill in any year. Any Officer, Non-commissioned Officer or man who when called out for active service absents h-mself without leave from bis corps for a longer period than seven days, may be tried as a deserter. atti C0CRT8 OP INQUIRY AND BOARDS. 157 No Officer or man of the Militia can be sentenced to ileath by any Court Martial, except for mutiny, desertion to the enemy, or traitorously giving up to the enemy any garrison, fortress, post or guard, or traitorous correspondence with the enemy ; and no sentence of any General Court Martial can be carried into effect until approved by Her Majesty. An Officer or man charged with any offence committed, while serving in the Militia is liable to be tried (.ad con- victed by Court Martial within six months after his resig- nation or discharge from the same ; or for the crime of desertion at any time, without reference to the period which may have elapsed since his desertion, unless he shall have served in an exemplary manner for not less than three years in another corps. CODRTS OF ISQUIBY AND BOARDS. A Court of Inquiry may be assembled by any Officer iu command, to assist him in arriving at a correct conclusion on any subject on Trhich it may be expedient for him to be thoroughly informed. With this object in view, such Court may be directed to investigate and report upon any matters that may be brought before it, or give an opinion on any point not involving the conduct of any Officer or soldier ; bat it has no power (except when convened to record the illegal absence of soldiers, as provided for in the Army Act,) to administer an oath, nor to compel the attendance of witnesses not military. A Court of Inquiry should not be considered in any light as a judicial body. It may be employed, at the discretion of the convening Officer, to collect and record information only, or it may be required to give an opinion also on any proposed question, or as to the origin or cauw of certain existing facts or cireumstaaees. Specific instnictions on IS8 DISCIPLINB. these pointa are, however, always to be given to the Court. The proceedings are to be recorded in writing, as far as practicable in the form prescribed for Courts Martial, signed by each member, and forwarded to the convening authority by the President. A Court of Inquiry, for the purpose of determining the illegal absence of a soldier, (not warned for active service) will be held at the expiration of twenty-one days from the date of absence, or as soon after as possible. Courts of Inquiry, as a general rule, sit with closed doors, but they may be either open or dosed a-Dcording to the nature of the investigation, or as may he directed by the convening Officer. Whei) na inquiry affects the character of an Officer or soMier, full opportunity should be given such Officer or soldier of being present throughout the in- quiry, and of making any statement he may wish to make, and of cross-examining any witness whose evidence, in his opinion, affects his character, and producing any witnesses in defence of his ch'^raoter. The rank of the Officers comprising the Court should be equal or superior to that of the Officer whose conduct or character may be implicated in the investigation. A Court of Inquiry or board of Officers may consist of any numbev of members, but the composition of such Courts or Boards should be regulated, at the discretion of the convening Officer, by the circumatacces under which they are assembled. Three members, the senior acting as President, will in ordinary cases be found sufficient. Medical Officers are exempted from serving as members of Courts of Inquiry or Boards, except medical boards. Should a medical opinion be required by a military board, reference is to be made to the Medical Officer d jtailed to COURTS OF INQUIRY AND DOARDS. 159 attend it, who will fnmiah hia report in writing or give evidence in penon if conaidered neceiury. Relative rank does not entitle an Officer to the preai- dency of a Court of Inquiry or Board, but he ia legally qualified if appointed. If the membera sannot agree on an opinion collectively, any diaaenting memlwr should atate in writing the nature and extent of the difference, or give hia opinion in writing to the Preaident for tranamiaaion with the proceedinga. The regulations for the government of Courta of Inquiry are contained in the Rulea of Procedure (Army Act). Boards differ only from Courts of Inquiry in aa f ar that the objecta for which they are aaaembled should not in- volve any point of discipline. They will follow so far as may be convenient the Rules for Courta of Inquiry, but are in no way bound by them. A Commanding Officer may aaaemble a Regimental Board to assist him with its opinion upon the condition of itorti, but no Regimental Board can condemn them, a District or Oarriaou Board is the only one that can do so. In the case of a Regimental Board ordered upon raUmia reported by the Orderly Officer as unfit for issue, they may be condemned, and au equal quantity purchaaed else- where and charged to the contractor. SECTION III. OFFENCES PUNISHABLE BY CIVIL LAW. By the Militia Act the offences enumerated below arc mAde punishable by Civil Law upon the complaint of the Commanding Officer or Adjutant of a Battalion, or, in the case of rural companies, the Captain, or the General Officer conuuanding the MiUtia may authorize any Officer to make ICO DI80IPUNE. the compl«int in hi» name. Prosecution, cannot, however, be made Uter than .ix month, after the oommiseion of the offence, unleM it be for unlawful buying, wUing or having in poMewion am», accoutremenU or other article. i»tteen arreat, he may be per- mitted by auperior authority to take exerciae within defined limita, viz., not beyond the barracks, or if in camp, not be- yond the quarter or rear guard, and then only at atated periods ; he should not be allowed to dine at his own or any other mess, nor to appear at any place of amusement or public resort, and on no pretext to quit hia room or tent dressed otherwise than in uniform, without his sash, pouch- belt, or sword. The aame rules apply to a Non-oommiaaioned Officer under close arrest. In exceptional cases an offender may be placed in the charge of a guard, seutry or provost. Any Officer may, when necessity arises, be placed under arrest by a competent authority on the commission of any offence without previous investigation, but a Commanding Officer on receiving a complaint, or coming to the knowl- edge of circumstances tending to incriminate an Officer, will not ordinarily place him under arreat, until he has satisfied himself by inquiry that it will be necessary to proceed with the case, and report it to superior authority. If he prefers charges against an Officer, he will invariably place him under arrest. When an Officer is placed in arrest, the Commanding Officer will invariably report the case without unnecessary delay to the General or other Officer commanding the district c ''Ion, whether the Officer shall have been subsequently i .leased from arrest or not. Unless an arrest has been made in error, an Officer should not be released without the sanction of the highest authority to whom the case ho* been referred. 104 DISCIPLIlfK. An armt can only be ordand by the Mnior Officer or Xon-commiBsioned Officer present when the offence it com* mitted, except in the cue of » qavrel, fray or disorder, wbeu a junior may order the arreet o{ a senior who is engaged in the disturbance. An Officer who has been placed in arreet, has no right to demand a Court Martial upon himself, or after he shall have been released by proper authority, to persist in con- sidering himself under the restraint of snoh arrest, or to refuse to return to the performance of his dnty. An Officer who conceives himself to have been wrongfully put in arrest, or otherwise aggrieved, is not without remedy ; provision is made ^or that purpose in the Army Act, sec- tion 42, and he can prefer a complaint in a proper manner through the proper channel (see "Complaint* "). When it is necessary to confine a Non-commissioned Officer for an offence, he should be placed under arral, and not sent as a prisoner to the guard-room, except in the case of an offence of a very serious nature ; nor should a Kon-commissioned Officer be allowed to escape trial by Court Martial by resigning, unless by the special sanction of the General Officer commanding. Private soldiers charged with a serious offence should be confined .at the time of the commission or discovery of the offence, but in the case of minor offencea, should not be lodged in the guard-room before their cases are disposed of, but may be allowed to proceed to their rooms, and a report made to the Officer commanding their company. They should not, however, be allowed out of their quarters until their cases have been disposed of, and should attend all parades, but not be detailed for any duty. Kotice of a man's being confined should at once be reported to the Orderly Sergeant of his company, either PRISON KKS. 165 jerWly or in writing, .uting tb. nature of the crime and the n»me. of tlie evidenoet in eupport of the ch.rge. The Orderly Sergeant then notifie. the Colour .Sergeant, who makea out a crime report (Form 20), which ii immey error luch mi offender h« been permitted to perform any duty, he ibould not thereby be sbeolved from liability to puniahment for hii offence. When a priioner ii bronght b«for« the Commanding Officer, the Officer uommanding hi* i ' n; any ahonld attend with the Defaulter book, being ria<,y 'a epeak u to char- aster j the Colour Serjeant and the Set^^nant iu chs^i-e of hia aeotion ahuuld alio be pr u ..hethi i- tl !y sri jvi- danoe or not, to anawer for hi: . it at<:.

Whenever a aoldier appeara in a Civil Court, either aa a prosecutor or priiouer, an Officer of hia oompany ahonld invariably attend during the proceedinga. Priaonen who report themaelvea aa tick ahonld be taken to Hoapital at the morning visit of the Surgeon. Thia re- port should be made by the Non-commissioned Officer in charge of the guard to the Company Orderly Sergeant, and is entered opon the company sick list Prisoners shonld not be kept in confinement for a longer period than forty-eight hours without having their case* disposed of, unless it be preparatory to bringing them before a Court Martial. Prisoners detained under charge of a guard should have such exercise daily a* may !« necessary for the preserva- tion of health. The gi-eatest regularity and respect jj liei, 7 ir 'honld .,r.«V 168 DISCI PLIMC be observed by Office™ and other*, whiUt the Command- ing Officer » adminiatering jnstice in the orderly room. When a Non-commiuioned Officer ii brought aa a prisoner before the Commanding Officer, men of interin rank to him ihoold withdraw. Colour Sergeants should, on the return of a dawnter or man absent without leave, immediately proceed to the guard room and minutely inspect the clothing he has in wear, and ascertain if any portion is Regimental ; also when a man is confined for being dmnk, his kit should be inspected by the Colour Sergeant and Sergeant of his section, previous to his crime being made out, and in the event of any article being deficient, the same should form part of the charge against him. Great coats for the prisoners should be sent to the guard room at Retreat by the Non-conuniasioned Officer of the section to which the prisoner belongs, and removed after Reveitte the following morning. Shaving and cleaning materials should also be allowed prisoners, th K .gimental Orderly Sergeant being responsible that such are sent to the Non-commissioned Officer of the guard, and see that the articles are given to the prisoner* at only such times as are necessary to cleanliness. Prisoners 'should not be allowed to have their new clothing, bnt only their oldest fatigue dress, and but one suit at a time j they should not be allowed to have money or tobacca Every care should be taken that no one holds communication with them, except on duty ; the men of the guard and the sentries shonld particularly be enjoined not to enter into conversation with them, nor should any- thing be given to them, not even meals, except in the presence of a Non-commissioned Officer of the guard.

ProToat priaons, whether garriaon or regimental, are in- tended for the confinement of aoldiera aummarily awarded imprisonment by authority of the Commanding Officer, and for carrying into effect the aentenoea of impriaomnent by Conrta Martial, for perioda not exceeding 42 daya. Soldlera under longer aentencea of Conrta Martial may alao be committed to a provost priaon pending removal to a public prjaoc, civU or military, if their commitment to a public priaon cannot be immediately carried into effect The immediate control and superviaion of provoat priaons ahould be under the Officer commanding the atation or corpa to which the priaon is appropriated, and in charge of a Sergeant speciaUy aelected with a view to hia fitneaa for the office, who ahould be responsible for the custody and proper subaiatence of the priaoners. Provoat priaona ahould be inspected, and each prisoner vUited daily by the Orderiy Officer and Surgeon, reporta of which are to be made to the Commanding Officer. Priaonera ahould be committed to, and released after the regular dinner hour and before dark, and eapecially ex- amined by a Surgeon before commitment, who will fumiah :M'ni4-,y^ 170 DISCIPLINE. a certificate a« to their state of health, reporting any dis- ability likely to prevent or interfere with the execution of the pnnishment awarded, or any part thereof. Every prisoner on admission shoold be strictly searched and required to give up everything in his possession, the hair of all those confined for more than seven days should be closely cut. Prisoners' labour should consist of sawing wood, cleaning yards, latrines, etc., repairing roads and such other modes of employment as the Commanding Officer may approve ; when deemed expedient, drill in " Marching Order " may be substituted. The following shoiild be the distribution of time : Summer.— 5.30 to 6 a.m., rise, dress, air and clean cells ; 6 to 8 labour ; 8 to 9 breakfast and make up beds ; 9 to 12.30 labour ; 12 30 to 2 dinner ; 2 to 5 labour ; 5 to 6.30 tea ; 6.30 to 8 labour. ffinter.—Rise at 7 a.m., and lights out at 9 p.m., after- noon labour ceasing at dark, otherwise the same routine as in summer. On Sundays the prisoners should attend Divine Service and the cleaning of cells be restricted to what is actually necessary. Christmas day and Good Friday should be observed as Sundays. Irregularities or minor breaches of discipline, while under imprisonment should be reported to the Command- ing Ofllcer, who may by written direction to the Provost Sergeant order a prisoner to be put on " punishment diet " for aay period not exceeding 72 hours. In case of violence or urgent and absolute necessity, the Commanding 0£Scer may by an order in writing, direct a prisoner to be placed in handcufis, the order will specify PROVOST HE0ULATI0N8. 171 the oauM that gave riae to it, and the duration of the restraint. All offences and nature of punishment awarded are to be recorded in the Prison Defaulters' Book, and also in the Regimental Defaulters' Book, if specially ordered by the Commanding Officer. Prisoners committed for periods not exceeding seven days should be provided with great coats, together with single blanket or rug, those for longer periods should after the first week be allowed their bedding, being deprived of it however every third night. The articles in each prisoner's hold-aU should be r>-imoved from his cell every night, and the use of tobacco in any form or of spirituous liquors denied him. Prisoners should be allowed a Bible and prayer book of 'hi^ denomination to which he belongs, together with such nniv oooks as may be recommended by a Chaplain and ni'iK 1 aed by the Commanding Officer. ' : . event of prison clothing not being supplied, the o «>r > thould wear their uniform, fatigue dress being >o . dek days and tunics on Sunday, whenever pa«- ■:-\*- . ~ t worn great coats should be issued to prisoners.

Ihe rations of soldiers in imprisonment, as well as pay should cease from the day of his being committed, until the day of his releace, his subsistence will, during that time, be obtained from the canteen or contractor by the ^'rovoat Sergeant, the cost of same being recovered from the Goverument each month. A mess book for these supplies should be kept by the Provost Sergeant to be balanced and certified to weekly by the Adjutant. ira DI80IPUNB. i Friday Saturday Sunday Tuesday Thursday The scale of diet for cell prisonen should be as under, Ut. For prisoners sentenced uo Co seven days : Breakfast, 6 oz. of bread, 1 pint oatmeal gruel, i pint milk. Dimier, 8 or bread, 1 lb. potatoes. Sup2'er, same as breakfast. tnd.

This diet should not be given for more than three days at a time, nor with a less interval than three days for a fresh offence, the ordinary diet being allowed in the interim, nor should labour be enforced dnring the duration of the short diet. Provost prisons should -also be used for the detention for safe custody of soldiers remanded for trial by Court Martial, or who have been tried and are awaiting the promulgation of the finding and sentence of a Court Martial, whenever there is available accommodations, and arrangements can be made for their being supplied the ordinary rations and messing of soldiers during such deten- tion. Such pnaonais will not wear prison cbthing. They I PltOVCWT BBROKAKT. 173 •honld be mllowed to exercise in utociation dunng » reaaonkble portion of -each day, and be kept apart from prisoner! undergoing sentence. Tliey will not be obliged to labour otherwise than by being employed in drill, fatigue, and other duties simiUr in kind and amount to those they might be called on to perform if not under detention. As these men will not receive the ordinary cells diet, they will be shown separately in the cells provision accounts. PROVOST 8KROKAHT. The Provost Sergeant should exercise his authority with firmness, temper, and humanity ; to abstain from all irri- tating language, and on no account to strike, or otherwise ill-treat a prisoner. He should see the prisoners frequently and at uncertain times during the day ; but is not to hold, or to permit his assistants to hold any unnecessary communication with them. He should not permit any person to visit the prisoners, except by the special authority of the Command- ing Officer. He should report to the Surgeon it his regular visits, the case of any prisoner who may tppear to be out of health, and to report immediately any case of sudden or serious illness. He should superintend the exercise and hard labour of the prisoners, and not permit the latter to hold any con- versation with each other, or with any other person. In case of a prisoner persisting in disobeying this or any other order, when employed outside his cell, he should at once be sent back to it and the case reported for the information of the Commanding Officer. He should take care that the means by which a prisoner may communicate with him or his assistant are kept in 174 DISCIPLINK. proper repiur^ and pay due attention to the beating and ventilation of the cells, alao that the prinonera are (upplied with their regular meali according to the preeoribed dietary. The underclothing of the priaonera ahould be waahed with that of their compnniea— or aa arranged for locally by Commanding Officer. It ahould be also a part of the duty of the Provoet Sergeant to perform tnu police duties of the Barracks, or camp, or of that part of the garrison in or near which the Provost prison may be situated. He should frequently visit the canteens in the neighbourhood, and interfere to prevent drunkenness or riot ; using his authority to repress all irregularity ; and to clear the quarters of any loose or disonlerly characters. In the course of these duties he should, at all times, be extremely careful to avoid any personal collision with soldiers. He should be allowed such assistance in making his rounds as may be deemed neoeaaary by the Commanding Officer. SECTION VI. DEFAULTERS. A Non-commissioned Officer should, if he can be spared, be detailed weekly to take charge of and drill all Defaulters ; otherwise the Regimental Orderly Sergeant or Corporal should do it. He should be held strictly responsible that they attend such drills or fatigues as are ordered, that they turn out clean and regular in every respect, and that the drill is conducted as correctly as if under the Adjutant or Sergeant-Major. The Non-commis- sioned Officer in charge of the defaulters should inspect DEFAULTERS. 17B the kiU of the defaultera at evfliy drill preriona to dii- mjasftl, reporting all irregularities to the Sergeant-Majnr. He ihall admit no defaulter into his squad, whose name (as such) he has not received from the Regimental Orderly Sergeant. Punishment drill should be carried on in the barrack yard or drill ground, and when battalions or detachments are in billets, and have not such accommodation, their defaultera should not bu exposed to ridicule by being exercised in the atreets ; but be marched out on one of the public roads for the prescribed period. Punishment drill should not be carried on after Retreat, uuless the Oenenl Officer commanding considers it expedient to do so. Punishment drill, which consists of marching only, and not of instruction, should not exceed one h(iur at a time, exclusive of the inspection of kit, nor more than four hours in the same day. In very cold weather the double time may be used for short periods. The Sergeant of the Guard should direct the Orderly Bugler to sound for defaulters at uncertain times, and on a general average of once every half hour, between Seveilk and Tattoo. The first call should not be cariier than half an hour after Seveille, and the last at the warning bugle for Tattoo. Defaulters should not be called at a time when they are supposed to be in their barrack rooms, such as about meal hours, etc., or when on parade or fatigue. On all occasions of defaulters answering their names they should be clean and properly dressed in fatigue dress. Orderiy men of rooms and company cooks, if confined to barracks as a punishment should be exempt 176 DISCIPLINB. from MMweriDg their iuuhm «t deUnlton' roU-oll, ezoapt between Retreat and Tattoo, V/hen not on fittigne or parade, defanlten ihould parade (or pnniihment drill in " marohing order." At the regular parade* they thould be dreaaed the same aa the rest of the men. Men with diafignred faoea or black eyea ahould be confined to qnartera till they are perfectly recovered. Defaoltan ahculd not be required to undergo aay portion of their puniahmv which may have lapaed by reaaon of their being in F n tittal or employed on duty. Defaulter* *i ' ild be permitted to enter the canteen for one hour in the day only ; aa a rule thia ahould be in the evening. SECTION VII. COMPLAINTS. One of the fundamental and moat neceeiary rule* of military di*cipline i* to forbid anything bearing the ap- pearance of combination to obtain redrea* of grievance* among individuals composing a military force. Appeals for redresa by "round robins," or by means of any docu- ment bearing the signature of more than one complainant, are strictly forbidden. If Officers, Non-commissioned Officers, or men, have any complaint or accusation to bring against a superior or other Officer, such complaint should be laid before the complain- ant's Camroanding Officer, who, if necessary, should trans- mit the same, with his remarks, through the proper channel for consideration to Head-Quarters. They should not be permitted to bring accusations agiiinst superior Officers or comrades before the tribunal of public opinion, either by COMPLAINTS. 177 •pMohea, or lettcn inserted in »ny newip^jwr ; luch a proceeding i« a glaring violation of tho lulei of military diioipline and contempt of anthority. If a Comnuuidinj Officer neglecta or refneea to attend t« a complaint, it may be brought to the notice of the Officer conininnding thi! dietriot or General commanding the furcee, notice beinjj given at the wune time to the complainant'! Cummandiag Offiiier, that inch ha* been done. A Mon-commiHioned Officer or aoldier having a com- plaint ahould make It to the Officer in charge of his company. The proper course ii for the loldier to apply to the Colour Sergeant, who may either accompany tliu man himt- if to hia Offiuer or direct the Orderly Sergeant to do ao. The aame rule ehould be observed when there ia a favour to ask. Thia oourae ahould not prevent a loldier from aaking the privilege of ipeaking privately with the Officer when brought before him. It ia the duty of all Officers, when receiving complaints for transmission for the consideration of superior authority, to point out to the parties concerned any irregularity in the means they employ in seeking redress, and to refuse to forward any representations that may be subversive of, or contrary to, the general rules by which all military bodies are governed. In hearing complaints or statemenU, etc., of Vtm-crr- misaionod Officers or men. Officers should invariably have another Officer present as a witnesa to all that passes. Complaints, etc., of Ifon-commissioned Officers or men ahould not, except in cases of nuavoidable necessity, be allowed to be put in writing. Non-commissioned Officers and men should make their statements verbally to the Officer commanding their compony, who, should he be unable to deal with the matter, will lay it before the Com- 178 DISCI PUHK. muiding Officer ; or ihould a okpUin decline to decide in the nutter of complaint brought before him, or • eoMier deoUre himself diuatiiHed with that OHicer'e judgment, he may then reqneit hie oa«e to be brought before the Commanding Officer. If still diiiatisfied, he then has recourse as above stated ; but his appeal should invariably be forwarded through the Officer commanding bis com- liany to the Commanding Officer, for transmission to higher authority. A soldier having the slightest appearance of being under the influence of liquor, or seeming excited or out of temper, should never be taken b«fore an Officer for any pnrpoae whatever. A soldier who considers himself improperly warned for duty may respectfully remark so to the Non-commissioned Officer ; but if the latter still adheres to his warning, there can be no further altercation ; the duty should be done, and afterwards reported by the aggrieved party in the proper way. Non-commissioned Officers should invariably take the soldiers they may have to complain of before the Captain of the company, and never on any account make a report of a man behind his back ; nor should an Officer ever award a punishment, however trifling, without having inquired into the complaint ; and although every exertion should be used to enforce the greatest respect and obedi- ence to the Non-commissioned Officers, they should not be encouraged in making frivolous complaints against the men, which will sometimes occur from private pique or dislike. No application or complaint should ever be made to the Civil Power ii) an/ regimental matter, except through the Commanding Ofiicer, or with his sanction. PART IV.

Ib services that wear the sword-belt under the tunic, should the sword be taken off, the sword- belt will also be lemoved. (i) When dismounted Officers draw their swords, the scabl)ards are to be hooked up by Officers who wear the waist-belt over the tunic, but will be carried in the left hand by all other Officers. (c) The sabretache id to be worn on mounted duties only, except by mounted Officers of Rifle Battaliins, who wear it on all occasions when the sword is i.om.'

Superior Officer* and other intermediate authorities are responsible for the correctness of what is set forth in docu- ments submitted by them. It is their duty to endeavour to adjust all matters that come within the scope of their authority; and in transmitting applications or correspond- ence to Head-Quarters, they should invariably state their concurrence or otherwise, addinf; such additional observa- tions, based on local knowledge, as may be necessary to enable the authorities to come to a final decision on the question without further reference and corrvwpondence. Correspondence should not be conducted direct between Officers commanding companies, of different units on mat- ters connected with the men of their companies, when it can be more conveniently done either through the Pay- master on pay questions, or tlirough the orderly room on other questions. In direct correspondence between Commanding Officers and heads of departments, letters should be signed by the 208 BOOKS AND CORRESPONDENCE. superior OHicera, and not by th.ir staff or subordinate Officers. When an Officer employs his staff to conduct any correspondence with another Officer of equal rank or posi- tion, the staff of that Officer should be addressed. As a Staff Officer carries on his duties under the authority of the Officer to whose staff he is attached, he will, in com- municating with those under the command of an Officer of equal rank, inv iriably sign " l)y Orde: .'

There ia no occasion on which tho discipline of a battaliun ia more conspicuous, nor on which the atten- tion and vigilance of every Officer in maintaining order •nd regularity are more especially requisite, than upon the line of march. M5o«r» of all ranks should be impressed with the im- portance of preserving the compact order of a column of march by not allowing irregular intervals, straggling, or fallinfe out, except daring periodical halts. Men should not be allowed to leave the ranks for water j when wat . ia required the corps should bo halted. It is most important that all marches ahould begin as early in the morning as practicable. As a rule, troops should move at day-break, and in sultry weather even before daybreak or during the night. The march need not then be hurried, the proper halts may be observed, (Uid the heat of the day avoided. The men should be given breakfast before starting, or if not possible then hot tea or coffee and a biscuit. Troops should begin with short marches, say six miles, and then work up to fifteen miles per day, which should not be exceeded unless a forced march be required ; two and a half miles an hour can be accomplished by troops without distress. H . [209] 210 MAROUES AND ENCAMPMENT. There should be a halt from fire to tea miDutes every hour, and one for half an hour when half way : if the men are to have a meal or hot tea is to be made, a longer halt is necessary. When men are in good condition, however, long halts are not advisable, as they prefer getting the march over as soon as possible. On the "Halt" soD'ading, the leading company should be halted at once, thosi> in rear closing up ; unles> the column is entering an mignment or making any other movement preparatory to a formation to a flank. Advanced and rear guards should always be formed ; the latter is to bring' up any man who may have fallen out, and if such soldier be unable to march, he should be given in charge of a Corporal or steady man of the com* pany to which he belongs. The commander of the rear guard should make a report of all occurrences to the com- mauder of the column at the end of each day's march. Men falling ont for a short time shoiJd leave their arms and knapsacks to be carried by the section to which they belong ; straggling should be avoided, as it upsets all calculation as to time. A. battalion should move with as broad a front as the ground will admit, as men suffer in warm weather from dust and want of air when in close formations, and when marching in fours, a column of tired Ui-in is indefinitely lengthened. On arriving at a bad piece of road, Officers shonld pre- vent men from defiling individually. On reaching a brock or a bad piece' of road, the front should be increased for crossing, Betiles, or narrow passes, should be crossed at the double, to prevent the rear being retanled. MARCHES. 211 Mmic and Hnging «honld be kept np u much u pouible, Mid when the band ceawa pUying, the droin» should beat the cadence. Next in importance to the feeding of the men ia the condition of their feet for marching. Good boot* and wooUen socks are indispem-^ble. The booU should bo broad in the sole, low-heeled, sufficiently thick soles to obviate the feet feeling the inequalities of ground and very roomy, as the foot increases nearly one-eighth of its size in marching; they should be greased, both to render them soft and water-proof;, the grease should be rubbed in while hot, and if boots have been wet, when half dry. Mutton-tallow is the best grease that can be used for this purpose. Boots should not be dried at a fire. Socks should be soaped for the first few days' march. On the line of march an opportunity of washing the feet should never be lost, and, when possible, name the period of ihe halt ; if the feet are sore, bathe in tepid water with alum at night; if bUstered, do not tear the blisters, but run needles through them with worsted thread, and leave the thread in an<: cut off ends, and next day, Wore marching, apply grease or soft soap. Subaltern Officers should personally see that the men wash their feet con- stantly, as well as satisfy themselves by personal inspec- tion that- the nails are. properly cut. Loose the boot-laces at night when your boots cannot be taken off. "Want of food and < haustion predisposes to sunstroke ; in such a case, open .he tunic at the throat, and keep a stream of water on the patient's head tiU he is conscious. Discourage men from drinking water lareely on the march, though the idea that danger may result therefrom 213 MARCHES AND ENCAMPHENT. is obaolete, still the more they drink when hot, the more thint will be felt. Take men if poasible into camp cool ; if warm do not allow them to take off their tunics for half an hour, unleaa to bathe at once. Every facility consistent with safety should be given to men to wash all over with cold water, and if a bath cannot be had, take off the clothing and shake it ; this alone will give refreshment. Troops encumbered wjth tents and baggage cannot move with the rapidity required in modem warfare, and in the case of puTsuite and retreats, when no shelter can be found, when near the enemy, and about to engage, they should bivouac. In selecting a site for bivouac, two conditions should be carefully entertained, viz., the military and the eanitary. If on active service in the field and within striking dis- tance of the enemy, the latter should of necessity give way to the farmer, and a site selected by taking into con- sideration cover, clear field of fire and the natural forma- tion of the ground with regard to aggressive and passive defence of the position cuosen. On the other hand, if in time of peace or at a safe distance from the enemy, the sanitary should take first place, and a site selected with due regard to water, drainage and suitable soil and subsoil to camp ou. Short grass with gravel subsoil is very good ; long grass lands, beaver meadows and marshy lands should be avoided. On arriving on the ground, j, battalion should be shown the position it is to occupy, and informed of the duties required of it.

When poBsil>Ie, on, each c" .' should be legibly marked beforehand with chalk, the Company and number of Non- commie^ioned Officers and men that is to occupy it ; this saves a deal of time, as on the arrival of the Battalion the several companies are enabled to march into the train at once. The Officers' car should be placed in the centre of the train. No shouting, cheering, or playing on band inatmments should be permitted whilst the train is leaving or arriving at stations. When away from the station, the men should be allowed to take off their accoutrements, etc., and make themselves comfortable. As soon as all are in order, the Officers can be permitted to go to their own car. Bifles should not be placed on the floor, but securely fastened i ii an upright position. Orderly Officers should be detailed, whose duty it should be to pass continually through the train to see that the orders are carried out. At stations they should remain on the platform during the stoppage. Bayonet sentries should be placed at each door, with orders not to allow men to stand on the platform nor leave the train unless permitted to do so. During stoppages, two or more sentries should be placed outside each car to prevent liquor being passed into the train. If a long journey, the men should if possible, be occa- sionally allowed out of the train to stretch their limbs ; on returning to the train, rolls should be called and the companies reported as present or otherwise. When nearing the destination, the Officers should join their companies. On arrival, the markers should first be thrown out, but until the " fall in " is sounded neither Officers nor men should be permitted to leave the train.

Battalion should, if possible move on the steamer without halting (the (.andTeasing hrected to the.r several stations, where they should remain standing at ease until the steamer leaves the dock. The Majors should specially superintend the embarka- tion of their half battalions, the Adjutantdf not reqled by the CommaniUng Officer) looking after the band, etc On the steamer getting weU away from the dock, arms and accoutrement, should be put carefully away, each com- P«^ys being separate and distinct, and the men then allowed to move about. Orderly Officer, and Non-commissioned Officers should be de ai ed. Regimental .md Company alarm posts named, and all duties earned out as regularly as if on shore. The Officer, should constantly go among the men during should not be allowed to get offthe steamer atintennediate landing places, except by special permission. On Hearing iu destination the Battalion should be accoutred and fall in by comp^iie,, and on arrival, after 223 MARCHES AND ENCAHPUENT. the markers are thrown out, each company inarched off the steamer on its marker. The baggage should be placed under a guard and sent down before the Battalion, being put on the steamer in advance of it, but not taken off until after it has dis- embarked. SECTION II. ENCAMPMENT. The same rules apply in the selection of a camp as laid down for a " Bivouac," as to its position. A camp should be on dry ground, accessible from a main road, with a good supply of water and fuel in its vicinity, and within easy reach of all necessary supplies. The means of passing freely through the camp with a large front should be maintained. The camp should be as completely arranged as the above considerations permit. The tents, bivouacs, or huts should be disposed with a view to the greatest amount of order, cleanliness, ventila- tion and salubrity. The tents of a Battalion should not be arranged in a double line ; short single lines are the best. The tents in a line should be separated from each other by a space at the very least equal to a diameter and a half of tent, and the farther the lines can be conveniently placed from each other the better. If troops are at a distance from an enemy, and are to remain some time in camp, and ground is available, the camp should be formed at double intervals. Whenever troops remain in camp more than three days tents should be struck 'very twp days. All arms, straw. ENCAMPMENT. 223 tv^h"*"."?

As a rule, the doors of the tents should face the head of the column, but this rule should never prevent their being turned away from the prevailing wind. Tranches should be dug around the tents, just outside the walls, and a dram made to connect these trenches so that the water may not lodge in them, bat run freely off These trenches should be four inches deep, and a slide's b^dth. The first wet day after the Lp is fo^ed Utticers commandmg companies should personally examine the ground on which their companies are encamped, and should see that the proper drains are constnicted ; half an hours work on a wet day. when the natural ma of the water can be seen, will do more to keep the camp healthy than a day's labour in dry weather. Shades should be constructed in all standing camps, to shelter the sentries from rain. No traffic of any kind should be allowed along the front of a camp or through the tents. All oarU, waggons, and horse, should pass through the intervaU between corps and along the rear. A place for a market should be selected and named m orders. All persons coming to the camp to 224 MAUCIIKS AND ENCAMPMENT. sell articles of auy kind should be contined to this place and 110 1 allowed to wander about the camp, "^he camp police should arrest all personB found wandering, and a picquet shouH remain in the market until it is cleared. The Commanding Officer should arrange a tariff of prices at which various articles may be sold, and no departure from t!iis should be allowed, all articles being paid for at the time by the purchaser. The camp police should make rounds at uncertain inter- vals th*''^ igh the camp, and suinmarily arrest all who may contravene the orders. Women of loose character should be carefully excluded from the camp. The main street through the Officers' tents should be used by men on duty only, Non-commissioned Officers, or persons having business with Officers. No person should be allowed amongst the Officers' tents except the Sergeant- Major, the Quarter-Master Sergeant, Non-commissioned Officers, orderlies, or persons having business with Officers, all other persons being directed to pass by the flanks. The following necessaries should be sufficient for a short camp : — Two flannel shirts, two pair of woollen socks, a tnwcl, a woollen cap, a piece of soap, a knife and lanyard, fork and spoon, a spare pair of boots. A woollen cap is very good to sleep in ; it keeps in heat. Above all things, keep the hair closely cut. As washing clothing is not generally practicable, it is sufficient, for a few days' work, to expose flannel articles to the air and beat them. On leaving a camp a mounted Officer shou Id ride over the ground after the tents are struck, to see that nothing is left behind, that the latrines and kitchens i^re filled in, and all boues, oSal and rubbish are buried. PITCHINO TENTS. 225 In enoampmg large bodie, of troop., it i, very de,irable that a ,kel«h of the ground, no matter how „ugh. .howing the place to be occupied by each corps, .hould be prepared beforehand ; by thi» means the Officer charged with form- ing the encampment can, in a few minutes, place the Whole of the oamp-colour men, so that when the bat- tahons arnve they can proceed at once to the positions assigned to them. PITCHINO TKNXa. Whenever the nature of the ground will admit, the following mode should bo observed ,„ the formation of Battalion camp : the front to be the same as that of a Battalion when in line. When a Battalion marches on the ground allotted to it, the Quarter Guard immediately takes possession of the spot where the guard tent is to be erected, and where a small camp colour should have been already placed by the Quarter-Master, and the necessary number of sentries to cover the camp thrown out. Ti;e Battalion should be formed m column by the left, so that each company stands on the parade with the ground previously marked off for ito tents on the reverse flank. The arms should be "piled," accoutrements taken off and placed in rows on the ground or hung on the piles of arms. A Battalion on the march should ha- all the men warned for their several duties at the last halting place before entering the camp ground. Until the tents are pitched the Officers should not leave their companies, nor employ men for their own convenieuoe. The following parties should then be told off and par- aded by the .Adjutant :— 15 226 MAKCHKS AND ENCAMPMENT. Cooking party —Two men per company, under the Ser- geant Cook. Latrine party — All the Pioneen who carry pick-axes and shoTelB, and one man per company. Water party — One Non-commiasioned Officer and two men per company, under a Sergeant. Ration party — A Non-commiasioned Officer and two men per company, or more if the company is strong, under the Quarter-Master Sergeant. Wood party — Two men, or more if reqnisite, and a Kon-commissioned Officer per company. The Sergeant Cook should select the place for the kitchen within the space marked out by the camp colours, and make the kitchen as soon as the tools can be procured. As will be seen by the diagram (page 229), company cooking trenches should be dug between the Officers' tnd the men's tents. The Sergeant of Pioneers should at once begin the . latrines, it being essential that the ground be not fouled. The ration party, under the Quarter-Master Sergeant, will go to the depot and receive the rations. The wood party will, if no fuel is issued, seek for and bring It to the kitchens. Each company should then be told off in squads for pitching the tents, the usual number is six men and one Non-commisBioned Officer. The squad is subdivided as follows !— Nos. 1 and 2, pole-men j Nos. 3 and 4, peg-men ; Kos. 5 and 6, packers and unpackers. Each company should proceed as follows (say the com- pany is fifty men, and that five tents are required for it) i — PITCHINO TBNT8. 227 The Captam give, the wr,,,!, "Out, No. 1 pole-men."

No. 1 will then insert the pole so that one end is fitted into the cap. No. 2 drives the cap on to the pole, the other end being placed between the heels of No. 1. Nos. S and 4 at the same time get hold of the two front angle ropes. Nob. 5 and 6, the two rear angle ropes (which are marked red to distinguish them from the others). On the bugle sounding one "fi," or on the command "Raise tents," the poles to be at once elevated by Nos. 1 and 2, the former getting inside the tent and keeping the pole upright by putting the and of it between his feet ; the four angle ropes to be at once pegged down, No. 2 taking care that the door is square to the front, that is, facing the same way that the men did when they stood in column, and that it is well closed ; the peg-men will then peg down the other ropes, working gradually round from their right to their loft, under the superintendence of the Non-commissioned Officer, who will take charge of the tent bag and mallets, see that the pole is placed in the spot marked off for it, that it is upright, that the door is properly placed, that the cords are stretched in a line with the seams of the tent, that the slides are made fast at equal distances between the tent and the pegs, and enforce silence during the work. Officers commanding companies should now examine the tents to see that they are properly pitched, the arms, accoutrements and blankets brought in, and a trench dug round each tent with a proper drain to carry off the water.
