Non-Commissioned Officers may be assured that by a faithful and zealous attention on their parts to the determined and energetic discharge of their duties, they will prove themselves to be the Soldier's best friend, by the prevention of his commission of crime, and the consequent pre- veniion of the necessity of punishment.

The Piper Major and Pipers are under the orders of the Adjutant. 14..PI0N££RS: The Pioneers are under the orders of the Quar' ter Master. 15.. PRIVATES. The happiness or misery of the Private Soldier absolutely depends upon himself; sobriety, truth, honesty, ready and cheerful obedience, and a faith* ful and conscientious discharge of his duties, will ensure him the protection and esteem of his Com- manding Officer and other superiors ; whilst con- duct in opposition to thosv virtuev will iK&Uibly draw upon him unhappiness, disgrace,, and polM- bly the most ignominious ptmishmentk PR I VAXES — RECRUITS. 17 Cunduct such as above stated, together with cleanliness, and soldier-like appearance, united with a sufficiency of education, are certain of leading to the Soldier being rewarded with pro- motion ; and in instances of extraordinary merit, the rank of Serjeant may be conferred at once. — And there the Soldier should never bound his ambition, but look forward to the possibility of his obtaining, as has often been the case, the highest rank, and the most distinguished marks ot his Sovereign's approbation. ' It is to be hoped that the conduct and deport- ment of the Soldiers will at all times be such as to merit the attention of their superiors to the pro- motion of their comforts, interests, and happiness, all which it is the duty of Officers and Non-Com- missioned Officers to promote by every means in their power. Every Soldier is answerable for his Arms, Ac- coutrements, Ammunition, Clothing, Necessa- ries, and every other article with which he may be entrusted ; and for the preservation and good order of which he must ever be accountable. Privates are particularly referred to the follow- ing heads of the Standing Orders for information relative to their duties. — " The Company^^* its " BarrackSf* " Messing," " Payment and Ac- counts,'* *' Guards and Piquets, *' Salutes,^* &c.

The head of the Recruits' Squad in particular, as well as the Subalterns and all the Non-Com- niissioned Officers of the Company, should nar- rowly observe the Recruit, and stale the result, if necessary, to the Captain, who should always com- municate on the subject with the Adjutant, wh.o, as well as the Serjeant Major, should acquire a thorough knowledge of the habits, disposition, and conduct of the young Soldier ; and the two latter should communicate to the Captain, the opinion they entertain of the Recruit from time to time, while under their instruction or drill. The Recruit must be treated with thci greatest kindness, and nothing approaching to harshness must be permitted^ either from ^he Instructors of hia Drill, or the Non-Commissicned Officers of the Company, towards him ; his progress in his Drill, should be expected to keep pace with his capacity alone ; and the greatest allowance must be made for any obtuseness of intellect, or natural defect, that may appear to exis-t in him ; as it is cruelty to punish a man for that which proceeds from absolute incapacity. !i ; i :; 19 THE COMPANY. I. !T9 ORGAN lZA'jLio.7 — DISCIPLINE — EFFICI- ENCY — CONDUCT. ' 'I ; . 1. Captains, or Officers commanding Com- panies, are held strictly responsible for ihe ne\er failing efficiency, at all limes, of those er.U'usted to their charge, in respect to Drill, Discipline, Armo, Accoutrements, Ammunition, Clothing, Necessaries, "ooks, Accounts, Messing, Bar- racks, Qiiat or Camp; and the prompt exe. cution of all Orders issued, relative to their Com- panies, or to any individual belonging to them ; as well as in respect to the efficiency of their Subalterns, and for the zealous manner in which they are aided and supported by those Officers in the discharge of their duties, who, the Captain is responsible, must be fully capable of manoBuveiing a Battalion in the Field, as well as the Company ; while he, the Captain, is likewise answerable that all the Non-Commissioned Offi- cers and Chosen Men are perfect masters of the movements of the Company. 2.

Ciiptains are authorized to use their dis- cretion in making such arrangements, and in ordering such Parades as they may consider requi- bitp. to ensure their Companies being in the high- est state of order and discipline ; and at any time that they may desire to have their respective Companies kept off duty, such wish will be at- tended to on their intimation of it to the Com- manding Oilicer. 4. As Captains should be, in justice, chiefly entitled to the credit resulting from the general efficiency and good order of their Companies ; so ought they, on the other hand, to be responsible for any deficiency or neglect that may occur in those under their command. On the abbence of a Captain, however long o:' short it may be, the whole command and respon- sibility of tht Company devolves on the next Officer, to whom all reports will be made j and Captains on their return from Leave of Absence, will report lo the Commanding Officer, if they have cause to find fault with the state of their Companies, in any respect whatever. tHB COMPANY 8 DISJIPLINfi AND EFFICIENCV. n 5. The Company is divided into two Sub- subd visions divisions, aiid four Sections or Squads ; ibe Sub- divisions being commanded by Subalterns, and the Sections or Squads by Serjeants, \^ho are responsible to those immediately over them, for the efficiency of their Sub-divisions and Squads, precisely in the same manner that 'he Captain is held answerable by the Commanding Officer, for the perpetual perfection of his Company. 6. In the event of the absence of a Subaltern, a Serjeant will com' and a Sub-division ; should there be np Serjea . with a Squad, a Corporal vill take charge oi' it ; in the absence of a Cor- poral, a Chosen Man will perform ihat duty ; und should there be no Non-Commissioned Officer or Chosen Man with the Lquad; the Senior Private, as a -natter of couise, will take command, and must be obeyed impll^iily ; and such principle must likewise be act^d on, at all Parades, Du- ties, and Fatigues ; and in Quarters^ Camp, Bar- rack Rooms, Tents, and Hospital Wards, in which, and in all other situations, the Senior Pri- vate present is responsible for the maintenance of order 'ind discipline, in the absence of a Non- Commissioned Officer or Cijoseu Man ; and the Seniority of every Private, and his consequent right to command the Soldiers junior to him, -•\n always readily be ascertained and known by the Regimental number of the respective men. 7.

As far as circumstances will permit, the Captains will make all their Barrack, Camp, and Messing arrangements, by Squads ; which should be considered to be nearly the same in relation to a Company, that a Company is to a Battalion ; and the roster of the Company should be so kept, that ah equal number should be, as far as pos* sible, on duty at the same time. 10 The same Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers, and Men should be retained, as far as expediency and the interests of the Service will permit, in the same Companies and Squads with- out change. 11. The Captains and Subalterns will con- stantly have the Rolls of the Companies to which they belong, divided into Squads, in their posses- sion ; Non-Commissioned Officers must, in the same manner, have the Uolls of th^ir Squads ; and both Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers are required to possess a thorough knowledge of the characters, and of ev;?jy particular connected with each individual in their Companies, Sub- divisions, and Squads.

Complaints, and applications of all kinds connected with the Regiment, from Non-Com- missioned Ofiii^ers, Soldiers, and their wives, are to be made to the C jmmanding Officer, at the Orderly Room, at the regulated hour of business alone, except in cases of urgency. 8. It must ever be the inclination, as it is the duty of a Commanding Officer, to listen to and or TIIK REOIMBNT. er redress grlevitnces, when they are justly founded ; but a Soldier can hardly be guilty of a greater crime than that of preferiing comfUaints on frivo- lous or vexatious grounds; and should be so offend, he must be punished accordingly. d. No meeting of Officers, or of any other persons, is ever to take place, on any pretence, without the express authott'ity of the Commanding Officer. The following Order of the Army relative to Deliberations and DiscussionSf must be strictly attended to, th : — " Deliberations and discua- ** sions among any class of Military men, having ** the object of conveying praise, censure', oi* " any mark of approbation towards their su- " periors or otheis, are strictly prohibited, as "^ being subvei'sive of discipVme, and an assump- " tion of power which belongs to the King alone, ** or to those Officers to whom Hts Majesty may *'' be pleased to entrust the command and disci- *' pline of his troops." 10.

The constant ftnd anxious ailention Af Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers is di- rected towards the prevention of Crime, an the experience of the Commanding Officer leadb him to know, that their judicious, and conscientious discharge of that all important duty, ^ould greatly lend to do away with the necessity of punishment. They are particularly enjoined to use all the means in their power in checking and preventing Drunkenness — that chief and prolific source of crime, which too frequently leads to the debasement' of the human mind, and to the com- mission of acts, at which the sober man would shudder ; and which vice is generally acknow- ledged to be the parent of nearly all the offences committed by the soldier. . . .,,... IS. Precept without example, in this as in all other cases, cannot be expected greatly to avail, and the Commanding Officer counsels, expects, and orders, that no one will ever even approxi- mate towards being guilty of that, which it is their duty to check, to prevent, and to punish, in the soldier. ^ 13. Nothing is more discreditable to the cfia- ractei of a Corps, than the Soldier's exposing him- self in the streets of a town in a state of drunk- enness ; and it is to be hoped that no man will so far degrade himself or his Regiment, as by his cda- him- runk- ^vi^ OP THE REdlMBNT. - being seen in a stale 8o disgraceful ; and when he is so, he must be confined by any Officer, Non-Cominissioned Officer, or Soldier, who may observe such misconduct, in the nearest guard house until sober, to prevent his exposure to the public ; and afterwards removed to the regimental guard house, and immediately reported to the Adjutant, and the Captain of his Company. ' 14. Officers are called on to attend to the important duty of inculcating upon the mind of the Soldier, the propriety and necessity of his observing the greates^t civility and courtesty in his intercourse with all ranks and classes, and in his demeanour in the streets, quarters, &c. ; and they must give him fully to understand that any irre- gularity of which he may be there guilty on a Sunday, will be considered as deserving of a still severer punishment than that committed on any other day. 15. The Soldiers are desired to bear in mind, that by their individual as well as collective con- duct, a stranger is led to form a &vorabte or unfavorable opinion of their Corps ; and they are directed to prove by their dress, bearing, and general behaviour at all time-^, how anxious they are to support the reputation of the 79th High- landers. • ;. ■ ; ' 16.

CRIMES— THEIR PREVENTION— PUNISHMENTS. 1. Drunkenness being the acknowledged source of almost all the crimes committed in the Army, the Commanding Officer confidently relies on the unremitting attention and zealous assis- tance of every individual belonging to the 79th Highlanders, in repressing a propensity which leads to the destruction of the moral and physical energies of the Soldiers ; and which must ever be considered an aggravation of every other crime committed under its influence. t-t) 2. On Non-Commissioned Officers, who must necessarily see so much of the men at all times, essentially depends the prevention of Crime; if they give their faithful and conscientious attention to the discharge of their duties, there is little doubt, but that in a short time, a defaulter list would be nearly unknown in the Regiment ; and the Privates may be assured, that the Non-Com- missioned Officers who the most strictly perform their duties, are the Soldiers best friends. 3. The po¥^er delegated by the Commanding Officer, to Captains or Officers Commanding Companies, and to the Adjutant, to order certain punishments for minor offences, must be exercised with much discretion, and they are on no account to order a man to be punished in any manner without themselves stating to him (the accused) the complaint made against him, and, in his pre- Dninke Ihachit of all c lurr Non-Commia- sloned Officeri can greatljT prereiit crime.

Whilst every exertion will be made towards rendering the respectable women, and particu- larly the wives ot Serjeants, as comfortable as circumstances will permit, those, on the other hand, who are ill conducted, can never be al- lowed to enter the barracks. 3. As the Commanding Officer insists on the Soldiers treating the women of the Regiment with that respectful deference which is due from man to the female sex, the men have a right to expect that the women will contribute towards the happiness of their husbands, and promote the comfort of their husbands' brother soldiers, by never deviating from that line of moral conduct and feminine gentleness, which are indispensa- ble to the character of a good woman. 4.

The Regimental School is established for the instruction of the children of the Non-Com- roissioned OBcerB and Soldiers, as well as for that of the Non-Commissioned Officers and men themselves; it will be conducted on military principle?, and, as far as possible, assimilated to that ot a Regiment, and formed on a similar system to that of Dr. Bell. 2. The School Master Serjeant, who will be assisted by an exemplary and properly qualified Soldier, as Usher, must be a man possessing the most exemplary character, and a good temper ; he must write a good, neat, and clear hand ; read and pronounce well and distinctly ; be minutely correct in his calculations ; and fully capable of instructing those under his charge, in Writing, Reading, Grammar, and Elementary Arithmetic. He must be minutely systematic and neat in his School arrangements; judicious and patient in giving instruction ; kind, but firm and deter- mined, towards all ; maintaining the most per- fect regularity and discipline in the School Room ; and never passing over unnoticed the slightest misconduct, or want of attention, the occurrence of which, if necessary, he will report to the Adju- tant, and to the Ordeii'ly Officer, when the latter visits the School. u 2 155 School is es tablished for instruction of Soldiers and their Children* To be conducS- ed on Military principles.

He must never, on any pretence whatever^ roughly treat the children.'— Should any child be so wicked as to require whipping, he will make a report on the subject to the Adjutant, for the Commanding OflScer's information, who will him- self enquire into the case; and should the child unfortunately be deserving of it, all the parents and children in the Regiment wtU be collected to witness the chastisement. 3. It is to be hoped that such a necessity will hardly eirer occur as that of whipping, and when it becomes necessary to have recourse to it, in two instances in the same child, it will be a matter cf consideration, whether it can be allowed that the risk shall be run of contaminating the other chil- dren by allowing them to come in contact with such a character. 4* The School Master Serjeant is answerable tor implanting in the minds of the children, habits of religion, morality, industry, obedience, order, and regularity ; and he must never foil to check, and report, if necessary, any neglect in those im- portant points, as well as in the cleanliness of the persons or clothes of the children. 5, In the School, the School Master Serjeant is supreme, and must be obeyed accordingly by every man and child under his instruction. 6. When out of School, the children are like- wise under his controul and direction, and they must invariably treat him with the greatest res- pect, and always salute him on passing. REGIMENTAL SCHOOLS. 157 7< The children will attend School daily, and the hours of attendance will be fixed in eveiy quarter in which the Regiment may be, according CO circumstances, and will be suspended on a board in the School Room. 8„ On Sundays the children will attend a Sundays* School for religious instruction, and the School Master Serjeant must regularly parade, and march them to Church, in rear of the Regi- ment. 9. Every child must attend the Regimental School, unless the express authority of the Com- manding Officer is given to the contrary. 10. A Weekly School Attendance Roll of Children, by Classes, according to Form 26, in Appendix, and a Weekly Register of Children, acording to Form No. 26^, in the Appendix, will be entered in the School Books of t^ntries by every Monday morning, and will be inspected by the Adjutant, or Serjeant Major, in the course of that day. 11. The School hours for the Non-Commis- sioned Officers and men, will be arranged and fixed according as the duties and parades may take place at the station where the Regiment may be quartered, and will be suspended in the School Room. 13.

Copying the Standing Orders of the Regiment, and particularly those parts of them relating to the duties of Non-Com- missioned Officers and Privates, must be much attended to in the School. 13. On the 27th of every month, a list of the men to attend School during the succeeding month is to be made out, and sent in to the Ad- jutant by Officers commanding Companies ; and from those lists the School Master will make out a Monthly Register of Scholars by Companies, according to Form No, 17> >n the Appendix, which must be ready for the Adjutant's inspec- tion, on the last day of the month. 14. A Monthly School Attendance Roll, by Classes, according to Form No. 27|, in Ap- pendix, will be ready for inspection on the morn- ing of the 1st of every month, and it, as well as ^^\ other School Rolls and Regulations, must be regularly and neatly entered in books appropriated for the purpose, and kept in charge of the School Master. 15. The School (including Master, Usher, Children, Accounts, &c. Sfc.) is under the parti- hegimental schools. 159 cular superintendence of the Adjutant's depart- ment, ti>d will be visited frequently by the Adju- tant and Serjeant Major, and daily by the Orderly Officers and Serjeant. 16.

The Regimental Library will be much encouraged, as the source of amusement and advantage to the Soldier ; and will be conducted under regulations approved of by the Command- ing Officer, who must approve of every work and paper, before it is permitted to be intro- duced into the Library or Barracks.

A description of the Officers' Dress and Appointments, and directions for wearing them are lodged with the Quarter Master and Adjutant, and at the Orderly Room, — and reference is directed to His Majesty's " Regulations for the Dress of the Officers of the Army," — and to the 27tli Article, under the head of " Discipline. Conduct, Efficiency, Dress," at page 72 of these Standing Orders for the 79th Highlanders, 185 ASIATIC CHOLERA. ^Precautionary and preventive measures to be adopted in the event of the appearance of Asiatic Cholera in the neighbourhood of the Regiment, In issuing the following instructions respecting the precautionary measures to be adopted relative to the pre- vention of Asiatic Cholera, Lieut. Col. Macdouoall assures the Corps of his thorough conviction of their being, under the Divine blessing, greatly protected from its visitation, provided that all individuals co-operate in giving a steady attention, and in yieldiiig a conscientious obedience to the directions laid down for their guidance ; and the Com- manding Offiicer desires, that the spirit and letter of the following Orders, drawn out with the anxious wish of pro- moting their welfare and security, may be most implicitly attended to by all ranks. As by the reports from all quarters. Drunkards have been invariably the first attacked with Cholera, whilst, on the other hand, the temperate and regular portion of the com- munity have generally escaped, the men aie earnestly entreated to abstain from a vice which might lead to the destruction of their lives, and which, at all times, is the prolific source of crime and misery. By the observance of sobriety, regularity, and the most perfect cleanliness in their barracks and persons, the Sol- diers may rest confident in their comparative security, even in the event of the Cholera raging around tlicin. A u m'AA n m 188 fUEVKNTlON OF ASlAtlt CUOLERA.

' : ; . ; ; / \ , dd. — Should Cholera appear in the nelgfabourbood of the Regiment, no man is to be permitted' to quit the Bar- racks without a Pass, and no stranger is to be alkrvved to enter them, or the men's quarters, without the pernussion of an Officer, ' 4lh. — The Surgeon will be pleased to draw out direc- tions for tlie immediate treatment of persons suddenly attacked with Cholera, which must be hung up ia every Barrack room, so that no time may be lost in afltordrng the promptest aid to thos>e attacked, at any moment that the Surgeon may not be close at hand. . 5th. — Every part of the floors and walls, and every coi'- ncr of the Barrack rooms, stairs, and passages, must be PR9V|£NT!ON OF AS|.VT|C CHOf.]ifiA, m thoroughly I>«^} aq4 th«y pro ney^j' to he H^ftM^ fX/e^pt under the antfoofity and diractioB of il»e Surgeon . . ^ ■ • ^ • ' . 7th. — When the stone stiiir?, p»$S4igjes, or ground »p»rti ments wU)) ptone flooi^s are wAsIied, It musjt he done with bol water, md all the inoi^tiire mu^t iwfu^diately thj^ir^f aft^|• h9 ioalied up, a» much as possible, with i»op« ;— this washing must never take place in damp weather, nor without the sanctiliKtftRtlON OF ASIATIC OlfOLHilA. 191 of fpirits, m four tumb)er» of tyeer ; or Ofi« gtass of sfMrits and two tumblers of beer, in the course of the 24 honrt ; ftn1ace at the tiime and in the nranner th«t the Surgeon may direct,) and that every individual cottstantly wears his flannel shirt"next his skin, by day and night, and that it is sufficiently long to ensure its fully covering the whole of the lower part of the belly » S6th. — Captains or Officers commanding Companies will l^ticulai'ly sii-perintend their several Companies, and see th«t the fullest e^ect is given to the letter and sprrit of these Instructions. ,. 37th. — The Orderly Officer and Quarter Master will anpertntend the genera) police of the Barracks, and will, without one moment** delay, report to the Commanding Officer any neglect or irregularity tfiat may come within their knowledge on any of the above mentioned points. ,1:' 4\ ' in , ;1 if ■4 '■ ]'■' 7 ■:! m 109 PKSVENTION OF ASIATIC CHOLERA. 38tli. — The Surgeon will propose, from time to lime, such measures as he may think likely to prove beneficial, as likewise report the existence of any thing he may consider as possible to lead to the injury of the »:eaUh of the men ; — he will frequently inspect the Barracks; and visit the Cells and Detuulters' Uooni, when there are pri- soners in them; and he will inspect every man, woman, and child in the Barracks, at least twice a week. 39th. — The Field Officers will give a general super* intendence over the whole, for the purpose of seeing that all ranks afford a zealous and conscientious aid in giving effect to orders and directions, the observance of which is considered of an importance the most vital to the welfare of the Soldier. 40th. — During the existence of Asiatic Cholera in the neighbourhood of the Corps, every wish and direction of the Surgeon and other Medical O0icers must instantly be complied with, without waiting for a reference to the Commanding Officer, to whonii however, all such wishes and directions will be communicated with the least pos^ sible delay. The above Orders and Instructions relative to Asiatic Cholera, being those which were in force and acted on dur- ing the existence of that disease in the Regimi;nt, when quar- tered in York, in Upper Canada, in 1832, and at Quebec in 1834, with an effect the most beneficial, Li. Cjl. Macdougall is assured that all who witnessed the adva/itage which re- suited from their adoption, will be fully aware of the neces- sity of their being acted up to, on all similar occasions, in the same faithful and zealous manner, that was generally exhibited by all ranks during the periods alluded to.

Instructions strictly to be attended to by the Company Orderly Non'Comw(^issipned Officers of the 'J9th Highlanders*. 1 TheOrdoi'lydiitv will commence on Sunday at Orderly time, and is to be taken in turn by the whole of the Non- commissioned Officers doing Company duty, from the senior downwards : but any irregularity which might possibly arise from the mast inex)>erienc«d, being at the same time the first and second Orderly of a Company must, as far as circumstances will permit, be obviated by one of the seniors being the second Orderly, whenever one'of the junion (and especially the Acting Corporals) it» first Orderly. 2. The Orderlies are to parede all men for duty, whether with or without arms, for whose state and appearance they will be held strictly responsible. Should any man appear in the slightest degree affected by liquor when paraded for duty, the Orderly is on no account to bring him forward as one of his quota, but is immeniately to confine him and report the circumstance to the Officer Commanding the Company, and the Adjutant. 3. No man is to be permitted to exchange his duty» without the permission of the Officer Commanding his Company ; nor is any one to hire auQther to do his duty for him under any pretence whatever. 4. If a Non-Commissioned Officer is taken ill, the Orderly of the Company will immediately report the circumstance to the Adjutant, and to the Seijeant Major; he will also report when he is fit for his duty. 5. Any casualty, such as death, sickness, desertion, birth, &c. which may occur in the Company, is to be instantly reported by the Orderly to the Officer in charge of it, to the Adjutant, and Serjeant Major. 6. The Orderlies are on no account to leave the Barracks, or to be out of call for a moment, they cannot be too expeditious in repairing to the Orderly ftoom, when the drum beats for that purpose, and also in communicating to the officers, and to their men, should it concern them, the orders they have received. 7. They must be extremely careful to ascertain the names of such men as have been marked for extra drill, and be very pointed in parading them at the ordered hours ; this APPENDIX. 29 of i8 a material part of their duty, and must as such be gtriotly attended to. 8. They are always to appear in full dress, or in piroper fatigue dre»s, when the Regiment parades in that order, and with side arms on, till after tattoo beating. 9. To obviate any doubt that may arise ros|)nofeing th« persons who are to make out the different return^ &q. which may from time to time be required from the Companies, it is to be understood that all such as relate to the arms^ elothing, necessaries, pay^ messing, or barracks are to be made by tho Pay Serjeants, and all others by tbe Orderlies; and no Acting Corporal is to be required to furnish stationary at his own expense. 1(X J*, form of duty list, or roll of the Company, and of every return, or state which may be required by the Orderlies, will be constantly in possession of the Orderly Room Clerk, to which they may at all times refer, and from which they are never to deviate. 11. They will each deliver to their successor, on the day of relieving, a correct list of the Company, in which every man must be clearly and accurately accounted for; and also a copy ^^f every return, or state, required from them in the perfo;ma"ce of their duty; these are to be given at the Orderly Room, and in the presence of the Serjeant Major. 12. They must see that the servants of their Company are made acquainted with such orders as concern them, as well as the other soldiers, and that they attend such parades and perform such other duties as are allotted to them by the rules of the BattalVii. 13. When a man is confined by an Officer, or Non- commissioned Officer, a copy of his crime is immediately to be given to the Adjutant. When any man is absent from tattoo, or any other roll call, the Orderly will as soon as possible report it in writing to the Officer Commanding the Company, and to the Adjutant, and, verbally, to the Serjeant Major. 14r. At Tattoo the rolls are to be called and reports given in as soon as possible, provided the men are all present, but should their be any absent, the reports are not to be given in until the drums cease beating ; and, at the same time, two parties, consisting of one non-commissioned officer and two privates each, from the Companies to whom the absentees belong, are to be warned, in order to be in readiness to proceed in search of them the moment the drums are done beating. 30 APPENDIX. 15. The r ext Non-Commissioned Officer in each Company for orderly, will be the second orderly ; they are to wait on the Quarter Master Serjeant for the purpose of leceiving the provisions, and fuel, and changing the damaged Barrack fur- niture, bedding, &c. &c. ; they will also shew the orders to the Officers in quarters, and warn their servants for any uuty that may be required of them. 16. The second Orderlies are to receive from the Pay Ser- jeants, in the morning, such returns as they may require during |he day, for the purpose of drav/ing provisions, &c. &c., kndf in order to ensure their being at all times ready to a£ford the necessary aid to the first Orderlies to perform the various duties required of them, they are not to take any Company faii/wue during the time of their being Second Or- derlies. •^W,
