ensure similarity and order in the organization, control
and service of the respective companies of which it is,
or may be, composed ; to provide for the due care of

agement, for the regulation of its public ceremonials
and festivities, and ge:ierally so to determine the details
ot Its proceedings as may best secure its efficiency and
harmonious workinir.

enacted, shall only be changed, altered, or amended by
a e.cur two-thirds majority vote of the commissioned

tion, or amendment be in order at any such meeting
unless one month's previous notice thereof shall have
been given, by entry in the battalion requisition book,
and by written notice posted in the officers' room at
head quarters.

4. Nothing contained in the battalion by-laws and
regulations shall be taken to prevent the respective
companies from adopting other and further regulations
for their own internal and separate government : ])ro-
vided always that such company regulations shall in no
respect be inconsistent herewith, and also that they be
approved by the Captain commanding the company,
and the Lieutenant-Colonel commanding the battalion.

5. Nothing contained in the battalion by-laws and
regulations, (or in company regulations should any
such be adopted), shall be taken to over-ride or evade
any provision of the militia law, or any regulations of
the service, or to extend, contract, or alter any of the
military powers or privileges thereby given to the
respective ranks of officers, or any military rights or
privileges thereby secured to non-commissioned officers
and privates.

6. As it should be the ambition of every officer and
member of the battalion to promote its efficiency, and
to maintain its honour as a military organization, every
officer, non-commissioned officer and private should
evince a steady determination to give strict and cheer-
ful obedience and effect to these by-laws ; and to dis-,
countenance and reprehend any infraction thereof.
They have been unanimously adopted by the whole
corps, and should be unanimously upheld and vindi-
