N^o alarm will be given when a chimney only is on fire, which is to be correctly aftcertained previously to the assembly beuig ordered to beat oi sound, as directed by the Standing Orders to Guards. C. One of the regiments quartered in the Town is to be warned aU,en\ate'y to turn out in c?»,8eof fire, the Royal Artillery "to be iricluded m this (33) and no other corps besides that which shall have been so warned, is to turn « ut, unless especially required to do so by liie lit^ld officer of the day, or superior authority. 7. On the asseinblijjfr of the corps, warned for this duly, two compauios with tVieir proper pro- portion of officers, with b\n.kci.s aiut tiie-hooks in their cliaige, will be marched to the building on fire for the purpose of being employed under the direction of the F leld Officer on duty, and afford every assistance ; nor will a greater number of cither officers or men be allowed to attend, than those required by this order •, on arriving within sixty [)aces of the building on lire, the detach- ments will be halted, and remain in readiness to be employed on the requisition of the civil au- thorities as their services may be required ; the men are on no account to quit the ranks, except 10 answer the calls of nature, and Uy permisiBion, or to be indiscriminately emj)loyed. The corps quartered in the Je^^uii Barrack^ will liirnish 1 sergeant, I corporal, and '2\- privates, to man the Engine in charge ot ilie Couuuis&ariat Department. 8. 'I'he corps appointed to turri out in case of fire, will iurnish a }iiquet, consisting of two ser- geants, two corporals, one bugler or drummer, and 40 privates, to be warned daily, and in readiness to turn out, under the Adjutant of the corps fur- nishing (tie duty, who wdl immediately proceed to the iiviihiing on lire, where they will be em- ployed under the direction of the Field Officer on duty, in keep nig nilers from the premir.es, and furnishing Guards tor the protection of the pro- perty. ( 34 ) 9. Corps or detachments occiipyinor the Citadel are not required to turn out, nor are ihey to leave their quarters, without ordern from the Command- ant except in ca?e of a puhhc buildin^r being on hre, when two companies only will be attached to the Knguie in chn.gc of the Royal Engineer De- partment. ° 10. Should it be found necessary on the troops being ordered to their barracks, to leave a piquet or any number of men to be employed under the directions of the civil authoriiied, the whole will be m charge of an officer on Garrison duty, who will not dismiss or withdraw the parties without authority from a Magistrate, the Commandant, or l^ield Officer of the day, and will state in his re- port the manner in which the men were employed, and all particulars. 11. The non-commissioned officers and men for this duty will be furnished from the regiment which may have been employed on tlie occasion. 19. Detachments or parties employed on this service, will, in the absence of the Commandant, be under the immediate dirt^ction of the Field Of- ficer, or Captain on Ciarrison duty, and officers and non-commissioned officers in charge of parlies, are held responsible that they proceed dirough the streets in a silent, soldierlike manner. Ail order- lies, on any alarm, will immediately join the offi- cers to whom they are attached. 13. A detachment of men from each regiment, with iheir officers, and the Qaartermaster, with their Engines, must be drilled weekly to the use of the engines, that they may know how to make use W4 Kicu* T* ucii requiiCu lu uu so. ( 56 ) Receiving Rounds^ <5»c. I. The following meihod of receiving Rounds will be strictly observed by officers and non-coni- missioned officers on duty in this Garrison, and all Rounds by niijfhiwill invariably be accompanied by an escort of a file of men from the piquet at the Main Guard, 2. A sentry (except at a jruard room door) challenjijing, being answered Rounds, is to reply, ** pass Ronnds," and present his arms ; wlien a countersign is given out, he is, on being an- swered Rounds, to reply, *' stand Rounds,'* ad- vance one with the countersign, and charge his bayonet ; the Rounds will then detach one to give him the countersign, whom he will not, however, permil to come within his bayonet ; as soon as he has received the countersign, he will give the word " pass Rounds," and sl\oulder and pi esent arms. A sentry at a Guard room door, challenging and being answered " Rounds," is to call " Stand Rounds, Guard turn out;*' i-s soon as formed, the officer commanding the Guard will detach tlie sergeant and four or six men, in proportion to the strength of the Guard ; if commanded by a ser- geant, he wiil detach a corporal and two men to meet the Rounds, who, as soon as formed at twen- ty or twenty-five yards from the Guard, will ciial- lenge again, *' Who comes there ?" the Rounds will answer, " Rounds :" *« What rounds ?" *' Grand" or '•'Visiting Ro\inds," (as it may hap- pen to be :) '<- Stand Grand" or" Visiting Rounds," " Advance one with the Parole," which the ser- treant comnianding ihe escort of thp Roivn.ds ^jji tlo ; the sergeant of the Guard having received the (S7) Parole, is to order tbe other sergeant to liis escort, and will himself go ami give ihe Parole he nas re- ceived to the officer of the Guard, who, on finding it correct, and the sergeant being reuirned to his party, will give the words, " Advance Hounds," when the Rounds coiae to the advance party which will then be formed in a lane ; the sergeant commanding will give the word " Present Ar:ns,'* and will allow the officer going the Rounds to pass through the laue, but will keep the escort back. The reason of asking "What Rounds" is, that the Guard givts tVie Parole to the Grand Hounds, but receives it from all other Rounds, let the rank of the person be what it will ; before the parole is given or received, the Guard must present Anns. 3. Whenever the Field OfTicer of the day, Cap- tain of the day, or any other officer having the superintendence of the Guards, visits them in the day time, vvrithout any escort, the officer or non- commissioned officer commanding the Guard, must jiive him the Parole. 4. In some Garrisons, it is the custom for the Rounds, when challenged, even by sentries, to an- swer by riming the Hounds, as *' Grand" or *' Visiting Rounds," in which case the sentry is to reply, ** Pass Grand" or *' Visiting Hounds ;" tl»e sergeant of the Guard, who is detached to exam- ine" the Hounds will, in that case, also be answered in the same manner on his first challenging, so that it will not be necessary frr them to ask after- wards, " What Hounds.*' 5. In the Field or in Garrison, when a counter- sign is issued, as well as a parole, it is the coun- D ( 38 ) tersign which is given by the sergeant of the escort, and not the parole ; the parole is to be known only by the oflicers of the Kouiids, and command- ers of Guards. 6. Whenever the Commandant of the Garrison «oes the Rounds in the ni^ht, he wdl announce himself, (Commandant's Visiting Rounds) and will give the parole an • countersign.
