This work has been designed with a view of meeting a want which has been felt by most Volunteer Officers when called out for active service, of some fixed rules, to point out not only their own, but the various duties of those of all ranks under their command. Volunteers on Active Service are subject to the orders contained in the Queen's Eegulations, and the Mutiny Act and Articles of War. The matter contained in this book has been taken exclusively from Authorized Wobks, and having been carefully revised, may be considered thoroughly reliable by those using it. The writer would here beg to tender his grateful acknowledgments to Col. Peacocke, 16th Eegiment, and Lieut.-Col. Moffatt of the Koyal Canadian Eifles, for their kind permission to make use of extracts from the Standing Orders of their respective regiments.

The blankets, sheets and rug neatly folded and laid on the top ; but in no case to be rolled up with or enclosed in the mat- tress. When thus rolled up, the bedding is to be placed about two inches from the head of the bedstead, which is to be doubled back.

The rug is to be folded round the blankets of such bedding as may not be in use. 5. — Soldiers are not to be permitted to lie upon the beds in the day-time.

They are not on any account to clean the Guard Room, cut wood, or take their meals when undressed. One man of the guard may be allowed to undress, and clean the c;uard room after breakfast hour. ■ ,- » GUARDS FAYING COMFUMENTS. 11 7. — No man is over to quit his guard except on Juty, or witliout special permission from the commander of tlie guard, who will grant leave only upon particular occasions^ a»id to very few at a time. 8. — Neither officers or soldiers are on any account to take off their clothing or accoutrements while on guard {except as above.) 5>. — Commanders of guards are to remain constantly at their guards, except while visiting their sentinels, and they are not to enter any house or place of public amusement. 10. — Connnanders of guards are to make themselves acquainted with the orders of the guard, as also with those which each sentinel ought to have on his post. They are to inspect all reliefs both on going out to their posts and returning from them. They are to maintain a proper authority, taking care that all are exnct in the performance of their duty, and that no species of irregularity is per- mitted among the men.

(vhcn not haded), or to order their arms, andj stand at ciso five minutes each halt' liour, but they arc not to slope arms unless specially ordered. 4. — On the approach of an officer, when he is at least fifteen paces distant, a sentry, if he is on the march, will lialt, front, and shoulder arms. If standin*:; at ease, with ordered arms, he will coite to at- tention and shoulder, standing; firm and payinj]^ the compliment due, until the olficer has passed, taking care to front the point especially recommended to his observance ; for instance, on a rampart or bat- tery, &c., he will face outwards. 5. — To Field officers and other officers of the army and navy en- titled to the salute, he will present arms, to other officers he will shoulder arms.

Exercises, part YIT., s. 17. 12. — Double sentries will challenge as follows : — Both should halt, face the person advancing, and port arms. The sentry nearest him will challenge as directed, (see F. Ex.) and if necessary bring his rifle to the charge ; the other will remain steady with his arms at the port, ready to assist his comrade should he require it. 13. — Sentries are relieved every two hours ; in some situations or in very severe weather, every hour ; but a sentry must not on any account quit his post tilj regularly relieved. In case of illness, he should pass the word to the Serjeant of the guard. If a fire breaks out, he should also pass the word to the guard. 14. — A guard is told off into sentries by being numbered from FIRES. 16 cither flank, front and roar rank top^othor ; tlio rij^lit or left hand man being No. 1, his rear rank man No. 2, and m on. (Juards arc irencrally numbered off from the right and left on alternate days. Three men are told off to each post, 1'). — All orders to sentries should be given through an officer or non-commissioned officer of the guard, and a sentry should never givo over his orders to any one except the coinmamling officer and staff officers, unless in the presence of an officer or non-commissioned officer of the guard. IG. — Sentries posted near barrack cells are not to comniunlcato with prisoners, or have anything to do with their diseii)line. They will call tlie attention of the serjeant of the guard to any irregu- larity, and apprise him if a prisoner desires to see hi n. 17. — Hospital sentries are not to admit any persi^r except the medical officer, chaplain, officers of the regiment, persons employed in the hospital, and visitors at the fixed visiting hours. The latter must be provided with passes from the medical officer.

Servants will be instructed to go to their Master's quar- ters, grooms to stables, pioneers to Quarter-Master's stores. The men are to be particularly instructed that silence is to be maintained, and the Commanding officer might frequently give the alarm for practice, but only in the day-time. I ,1 I ! 1. — When a man is confined, his crime (as per form No. 13) should as soon as possible be shewn to the Captain of his company. The object of this is that the Captain should have an opportunity, if the offence is of a particular kind, to deal with it without its going further. There are cases where a non-commissioned officer has no other course but to order a man to the guard room, and yet the crime is one which may be disposed of by the Captain of a Company without injury to discipline. 2. — When a Captain, however, takes upon himself this respon- sibility, he will enter the punishment he awards, (which must never exceed what the Queen's Regulations point out (Par. 12, page 144, viz. : Three days' confinement to barracks) on the back of the crime, which will be returned to the Serjeant of the Guard, to enable him to enter in the guard report how the case was disposed of. The crimes will be sent into the Orderly Iloom along with the guard Report. The Serjeant of the Guard will also be careful to enter the offijnces so dealt with in the guard report, also the name of the officer who awarded the punishment. All cases where drunkenness or absence without leave form part of a charge, are for the jurisdic- tion of tlie commanding officer only. 3. — Whenever an officer or non-commissioned officer has occasion to confine a man, he will withor ■ delay report, either verbally or in writing, to the company orderly of the prisoner's company, giving the crime and the names of the evidence in support of it. 4. — The punishment awarded to men who have been confined and are brought before the commanding officer, will be entered on the back of the copy of the crime in the Adjutant's own hand-writing. The crimes will be returned to the Orderly Serjeants at the giving out of the regimental orders. The entries should be made in the Defaulters' Book by the captain of the company before morning parade next day. 5. — On all occasions of a prisoner being brought before the com- manding officer the officer in charge of the company will attend with the Defaulters' Sheet, being ready to speak as to character, at the PRISONERS. 17 Commanding ofRcer's or the prisoner's own request. The pay-ser- jeant and orderly of the company will also attend, whether they are evidence against the man or not. No prisoner should ever be allowed to go before a Court Martial, or into the presence of any officer, with a cap or mitts on, or anything that could be used as a missile. The adjutant will also be present at the investigation of crimes or complaints by the commanding officer. 6. — Prisoners are not to be kept in confinement for a longer period than forty-eight hours, without having their cases disposed of, unless it be preparatory to bringing them before a Court Martial. 7. — The act of placing arms in the hands of a prisoner for the purpose of attending parade, or of performing any duty, absolves him from trial or punishment for the offence which he has committed. 8. — When a soldier has been deprived of his arms, either prior to an investigation or during punishment, the permission of his captain or other superior officer must be obtained before they are restored to him. 9. — All prisoners previous to being brought before the command ing officer, should be taken to hospital at the morning visit of the surgeon, who will certify their state of health according to form No. 24. This report is to be made out by the non-commissioned officer in charge of the regimental barrack guard, who will also, as afore- said, cause the prisoners to be marched to hospital under sufficient escort. The report is to be laid on the commanding officer's table in the orderly room, after the performance of the duty. 10. — Soldiers when drunk are if possible to be confined by them- selves in a black hole or cell, and not in the guard room, where they may chance to commit violence. They are to be visited at- least every two hours, by a non-commissioned officer of the guard. Should he suspect they are suffering from disease, a medical officer is forthwith to be sent for. 11. — The practice of proving soldiers, for the purpose of ascer- taining whether they be drunk, is forbidden. 12. — Officers commanding guards must receive such prisoners as a e made over to them by an officer or non-commissioned officer. A written charge or crime should in all cases be required with each ; but the commander of a guard must not refuse to receive a prisoner on the ground that a written charge or crime is not given him along with the prisoner. It is sufficient for him to know that the pris- oner is amenable to military law, and that the person confining him is known and responsible. The officer or non-commissioned officer who commits the prisoner, and allows any unnecessary time to elapse before giving a written crime to the commander of the guard, is guilty of a breach of the articles of war. 2* ., 18 PRISONEBS. 1 1 .. 1 li; li!i i il i 13. — The commander of a guard must on no account release a prisoner committed to Iiis charge, without proper authority. 14. — If no charge is received against a prisoner by the commander ot a guard, he should report the prisoner and the person confining liim, stating that no crime had been received, to the visiting officer, and also enter his name in the guard report. 15. — A prisoner's room should be attached to a guard for the tcniporary detention of prisoners. 10. — (Juard room cells are for the temporary custody of prisoners who are to be kept alone. The keys to be in chjirgc of the com- mander of the guard. 17. — When a soldier is confined for being drunk or riotous, he will be conveyed direct to the cells, the non-commissioned officer of the guard being called to receive him in charge. The practice of sending a file of the guard to take a prisoner from his barracks to the guard room, should not be resorted to except when there are 110 other men nearer at hand available for the purpose. 18. — AV^henever a man is confined for being drunk or absent with- out leave, his kit must be inspected by the Pay-Serjeant and Orderly Serjeant of his company previous to his crime being made out : and in the event of any article being deficient, the same will form part of the charge against him. 19. — The non-commissioned officer commanding the barrack guard will see that the prisoners under his charge shave and wash before beina; broudit before the commandini:; officer. He will likewise be careful that none of them are brought up except they are perfectly sober. He is also responsible that the orderly bugler sounds " rouse" at the proper hour. 20. — The Serjeant of the barrack guard will direct the orderly bugler to sound for defaulters at uncertain times, and on a general average of once an hour, between rouse and tattoo. The first call should not be earlier than half an hour after rouse, and the last at first post. Defaulters should not be called at a time when they are supposed to be in their barrack roomss, when at meals, &c. He will of course, have a list of defaulters and men on pass furnished liim. 21. — When a soldier is confined, his kit as well as his arms and accoutrements will be taken charge of by the non-commissioned officer of his squad. His meals, and whatever articles of his neces- saries requisite to keep him clean and properly dressed, will be brought to him by his comrade, accompanied by the non-commis- sioned officer of his squad, leaving him nothing in his possession but what is actually in wear. All pay is to be kept from him until his release, when it will be paid him in such portions as the officer MOKNING FABADF. 19 commanding his company, from his knowledge of his character, may deem most beneficial to him. The place of confinement must bo cleaned out by the prisoners every morning before guard mounts. MORNING PARADE. l.^-The hours for parade will be regulated by tlic commanding officer, and will be made known in regimental orders. 2. — The following will be the system for forming the parades. 3. — Fifteen minutes after the dressing bugle for parade sounds, the serjeant-major will call coverers for staft' parade, on which the band orderly and company orderlies will take up their proper distances with recovered arms at open column, right in front. On the Word " steady" the orderly Serjeants will shoulder arms, and the whole of the buglers will sound the non-commissioned others and band cull. The band and non-commissioned officers will then fall in, in two ranks, on the right of their respective coverers. The latter will ascertain that all arc present, and immediately after place themselves on the left of their companies. The staff Serjeants will fall in in rear of the column. The serjeant-major will then collect the reports, and as the companies wdll generally bo of unequal strength, he will give the command, — '' on the move, left wheel into line, quick march." When wheeled square the non-commissioned ofticers will feel in to the right, continuing to mark time till the serjeant-major gives the word " halt, dress." The ranks will then be opened, and the sergeant-major will report to the adjutant, whose duty it is to inspect the staff parade. The ranks will then be closed, faced to the right, and told to break off. 4, — The serjeant-major next calls the coverers for companies. On this the company orderlies will mark with recovered arms the spot where the left of their companies will rest. Another non-com- missioned officer of each company will, at the same time, mark the breadth of a subdivision with three paces more, to the right of their covering Serjeants. This will be the place where the left of the right subdivision rests. On the word '' steady," from the serjeant- major the wdiole of the coverers will come to the shoulder. The whole of the buglers on parade will then sound the " fall in," when the men (who ought to be standing near the reverse flanks of where their companies will rest), will at once place themselves smartly in squads in two ranks at close order, and with shouldered arms, on the right of the non-commissioned officers marking the respective subdivisions. Men late on parade should be marked down for extra 20 MOBNINO FABADE. •ill II drill. The front rank of the right subdivision will be considered the 1st squad, the rear rank the 2nd squad, the front rank, left subdivision the 3rd squad, and the rear rank the 4th squad. They will dress as they fall in, and feci in to the left, without reference to whom they are covering ; the orderly scrjeants will open the ranks, and the squads will be inspected by tho iion-conimissioned officers, during which time the orderly Serjeants will count their men to ascci ain if all are present. When this is done, the orderly Serjeants will form up the companies, dress them and open the ranks. The officers' call will then sound, and the captains will proceed to inspect their com- panies, accompanied by the subaltern officers and the color-ser- jeants. 5. — The serjeant-major will then call for the "company orderlies, from whom he will ascertain the number of files in each company, and on tho completion of the inspection by the captains will proceed to equalize the companies. It may happen that one or two compa- nies should require to be broken up; if so, the adjutant will direct the serjeant-major which company is to be broken up. As a rule, it should be the junior officer's company on parade. For instance, if one company was to be broken up, and No. 3 had no captain on parade, then No. 3 would be the company to break up. ( This is merely offi2rcd as a suggestion. Of course the commanding officer may use his own judgment as to which company will be broken up.) The captains will then tell off and prove their companies, as per regulation, or direct one of their subalterns to do so, as each com- pany should always be proved by an officer. G. — The companies may now stand easy until the coverers are again placed by the adjutant, under the direction of the commanding officer. On the word " steady" the buglers will sound the " advance," upon which the captains will briskly call their men to attention, take them the shortest and simplest way to their coverers, halt, front, dress, give the word] " stand at ease," fall in themselves, and remain together with their companies perfectly steady. The com- manding officer will then call tho whole to attention, and direct the adjutant to collect the reports. 7. — All llegimental or General Orders affecting the men should be read out^^on parade by a commissoned officer at three successive parades after the order has been issued. 8. — Every officer is expected to be on parade by the time the " fall in" sounds. 9. — On common parades companies will fall in on their company orderlies, the whole feeling in to their left without any interval between the right and left subdivisions. 10.— The telling off and proving of companies on parade should BETEEAT. 21 bo done quietly 'and without any noise, or worrying. If a man can- not drill he must be marked down for instruction afterwards. 11. — Parade states should be left in the orderly room by 9 o'clock each morning, signed by the senior officers of companies, who will of course first asccrtjin that they are correct. Any discrepancy in the number of men who ought to be on parade can be accounted for by the orderly Serjeants, as for instance, a man taken sick after the state has been sent in. 15. — The parade states (form No. 10) will be handed in by the orderly Serjeants at the issue of regimental orders. The Dairy of Parades, (a monthly return), is filled up from them. DINNER HOUR AT ONE O'CLOCK. 1. — Men sitting down to their meals should be clean and properly dressed. The men should have not less than an hour for dinner, cleaning up, &c. 2. — When an officer visits the rooms at meal hours, and "attention" is called, the whole will remain steady but seated, except non-com- missioned officers in charge, who will stand up at attention. 3. — The men will not commence their meals before the second bugle, but are not expected to wait beyond that time whether an officer makes his appearance or not, • 4. — Meal hours should be — Breakfast at 8, dinner at 1, tea at 5 o'clock, and the roll should b3 called, as every man must be present unless he has obtained leave. Afternoon parade at 2.30 p. m. RETREAT. The hour of '' retreat " will vary with the sunsetting, and will be published in regimental orders. At retreat all ^nards are under armSi the picket is inspected, &c., &c. First Post at 9 o'clock. Tattoo or " last post " at 9.30 o'clock. 1. — At Tattoo the serjeant-major parades the orderly Serjeants, who hand in their tattoo reports, as per form No. 30. 2. — All men not on pass should be in barracks at tattoo sounding, and those absent without leave should be confined on their return. The picket is also paraded at tattoo, and inspected by the orderly officer. f!l :■ iil! I I K t.l oo DUTIES OF OFFICERS. 1. — '' Lights Out" at 10 o'clock. No smoking or talking should be allowed in the barrack rooms after " lights out " has sounded, as f[uict or fatigued men are thereby prevented from going to sleep. kStovo dampers must be closed at '" lights out." No man is allowed out of his room at night without the permission of the non-commis- sioned officer in charge. 2. — No person but the commanding officer is authorised to give leave to keep lights in after hours, and all requests for such indul- gence must be made in writing during orderly room hours, the reason beins: given. AV^hen on the score of sickness, the case must be re- commended by the medical officer in charge. In the event of sud- den illness, the medical officer may exercise his own dii^cretion, de- siring the company orderly to report the circumstance. DUTIES OF OFFICERS. 1 . — Example is a duty of high importance in every degree of life ; in none of more utility and consequence than in the military pro- fession. This consideration is earnestly recommended to all officers on whom many eyes are fixed. It is their example that regulates and determines the behaviour of the soldiers. 2. — It is incumbent on all officers to study every means of engag- ing and binding the attachment of the soldier. 8. — In quarters, a steady discipline, a watchful concern fur the soldier's interests, a minute study of his character and conduct, un- remitting attention to alleviate his wants and aid in his difficulties, insure to officers that cheerful obedience, which the soldier com- mitted to their charge is happy and contented to render. 4. — In the field an officer must be capable of instructing his com- pany or squad, otherwise he would be unfit in time of service to lead it, as the exertions of soldiers, will always be in proportion to the reliance they have on the capacity of those who conduct them. 5. — Every officer should have in liis possession the books pre- scribed in Her Majesty's regulations, viz. : F. Exercise, Q. llcg- ulations, Musketry Instructions and Articles of War. G. — Officers must consider exactness of time at all parades tmd posts of assembly one of the first principles of military duty ; and each should endeavour on all such occasions to be the first on parade and the last to leave it. 7. — Officers are to make themselves well acquainted with the name and character of every man of their company, and be ready at any time to answer immediately any questions which the command- ing officer may put relative to their men. . . DUTIES OF OFFICERS. 23 8. — A daily state of each company, signed by the officer com- manding it, is to be sent into the orderly room by nine o'clock. y. — Officers are required to be extremely attentive to the punctual discharge of every part of their duty, and are at all times to take notice of every error or inattention which they may sec committed by either noncommissioned officers or privates, 'whether of their own company or not. They are invariably to attend to the exact- ness of guards and sentries, as well as to the appearance and beha- viour of the men off duty. To reprove any gross irregularity, by confinement, or to report such men as are guilty of smaller defects to tlie commanding officer of their companies. This constant and easy attention contributes essentially to the good order of a regi- ment. 10. — Officers are never to suffer an answer to ha made to an observation made upon the parade or when under arms. TIic sol- dier who behaves in so unmilitary a manner should be immediately confined. 11. — Officers are at all times to treat the non-commissioned offi- cers with consideration ; nothing is of greater moment than sup- porting the consequence of that rank among the men, or contributes to it more than their being properly treated by their olFicers. 12. — Officers should consult their men's comfort as much as is consistent with the service ; do them the strictest justice and punish offiinders without favour. 13. — Officers and more especially non-commissioned officers should be very careful not to reprimand or even speak to a man in liquor more than is necessary in confining him, because it can have no good effect. 14. — A man in that situation is often led to a reply and insolence of b'ehaviour which it becomes impossible to overlook. 15. — Whenever an officer or non-commissioned officer hears of any riot or disturbance, in wdiich he has any reason to suspect that any soldiers of the regiment are concerned, it is his duty to go im- mediately with a party and bring away such as he may find there. 16. — All returns or states required from companies are to be signed by tlie officer commanding the company. 17. — Officers commanding companies are held responsible that all orders affecting the men are read to them on parade by an officer. 18. — No officer is to quit the place in which he is quartered or to remain out all night, without the permission of thg commanding officer. 11). — Officers going on temporary leave of absence will leave their address at the orderly room, as also the name of the officer they have arranged to take their duty during their absence. Any ofllcer 24 DUTIES OF OFFICERS. iii v!il who has been ab?cnt from the rc^Iincnt, is immediately on his return to make himself ac(juaiiitc(l Avith all orders that may have been issued durinij^ his absence. 20. — AVIiencver an oiVicer joins or returns to the regiment, he is, before lie appears anywhere iii public, to wait on the commanding officer. 21. — All applicalions fur leave from parade are to be made the day before, in writin:/, through the adjutant, for tlie commanding officer's permission. 22. — No officer is to exchange any duty without the permission of the commanding oflicer, wliich is to be made in writing through the adjutant ; and this application must be made before the name of either party has appeared in orders. 23. — Any officer who may be prevented by illness from doing duty or attending parade, is immediately to send an intimation of it to the adjutant and surgeon, or assistant surgeon, who will report to the commandinii' ollieer. Ife is also to do the same on recovery. During the continuance of sickness he must confine himself strictly to the precincts of barracks or quarters, unless he goes out for exercise by tlie advien of the surgeon. During such sickness and consequent absence from parade, lie must of cour.se abstain from going to parties and entertainments. 2-i. — No officer to eli:uigc his quarters without the previous con- sent of the commanding oliicer. 25. — Officers are never to appear out of their quarters when on dutij, except in uniform. 20. — If the character or conduct of an officer should be publicly impugned, he is bound within a reasonable time to submit the case to the commanding officer, or to other competent military authority, for investigation. 27. — Officers should bo careful in upholding the authority of the non-commissioned officers over the men, but should also not permit the power to be abused. Many cases called mutinous arise from the improper way in which non-commissioned officers speak or give orders to the men. Soldiers should not be harassed, but should be treated with kindness ; they should be taught that it is wished to avoid punishment, if discipline can be maintained without it. 28. — No punishment should be awarded except with the know- ledge and approval of the commanding officer. 29. — Officers should make themselves acquainted with all orders which arc issued. It can be no excuse for tlicir ignorance of tliem, that they have not been shown to them. Iii JlSIf i' THE DITTIES OF THE COMMANDING OFHCER. THE DUTIES OF THE COMMANDING OFFICER. 25 1. — The officer commanding; a rc,ir;hnciit is declared by the Queen's Regulations to be responsible to his 8overeii;n and his country for the maintenance of discipline, order, and a proper system of economy in liis corps ; he is to exact from otKcers and men tlie most implicit obedience to regulations. And his authority is declared to be j)a?*aw2o?^7i^, whether on the parade, at mess, or in any other situation. 2. — An officer may be placed in arrest by any officer of superior rank, and in the case of quarrels, frays and disorders, by an officer of inferior rank; but it would bo the duty of the. officer so acting immediately to report the circumstances cither to the senior officer present, or to the commanding officer liimself. 3. — Upon any charge against an officer being brought to the knowledge of his commanding officer, his duty would bo forthwith to investigate it, and it would be in his discretion either to dismiss the complaint altogether, or to reprove or admonish the offi^nder, or to cause a Court of Inquiry to assemble to ascertain the circum- stances of the case, or to submit the matter for the consideration of superior authority. In the latter case should the officer not be in arrest, the commanding officer would order him into arrest at once; but no officer can be kept in arrest more than eight days, or until such time as a Court Martial can be conveniently assembled. 4. — An officer who has been placed in arrest has no riglit to demand a court martial, or to persist in considering himself in arrest, or to refuse to return to his duty after being released. Should he consider himself wronged by his commanding officer, who upon proper application has refused redress, he may complain to the Com- mander-in-Chief in order to obtain justice. According to the custom of the service, every complaint should be forwarded through the commanding officer, nor could a deviation from this practice be sanctioned, except in the case of refusal or unreasonable delay on his part. 5. — In the militia, a non-commissioned officer may be reduced to the ranks by the appointed commandant of the regiment or corps. 6. — On complaint by any non-commlssionod officer or soldier who thinks himself wronged by the officer commanding his troop or company in any matter affecting his pay or clothing, the command- ing officer is required to assemble a regimental Court of Enquiry, for the purpose of determining whether such complaint is just. 7. — In dealing with the offences of soldiers, a commanding officer is enjoined, when tlie crime is not of an aggravated nature, to try I.

H. — In cases requiring more serious notice, the commanding officer is directed to investigate the complaiiiit in the presence of the officer conuiumding the troop or company to which the prisoner belongs, the adjutant and the prisoner ; and having satisfied himself from the evidence adduced, of the nature and degree of the offence, he may either determine to try the prisoner by Court Martial, or may, in addition to any minor punishment he is authorized to award, himself inflict any of the following punishments. J). — Imprisonment with or without hard labour, and with or with- out solitary contincmcnt, for any jieriod not exceeding 108 hours. This imprisonment may take place either in the district or provost prisons, garrison cells, or in barrack cells, the fitness of which has been ascertained, and entails forfeiture of pay and service for the period of its continuance. 10. — In cases of absence without leave for any period not exceed- big five d(if/s, deprivation of pay for the period of absence, in addi- tion to, or instead of, such imprispnment. 11. — But any soldier so ordered to suffer imprisonment or depri- vation of pay, has the right to claim to be tried by Court Martial, instead of submitting to such imprisonment or deprivation. But he will be liable to be tried by such Court Martial as the commanding officer or superior authority shall think suitable to the degree of the offence. 12. — Confinement to barracks for any period not exceeding one month of 28 days, which carries with it punishment drill for fourteen days, and liability to all duties, parades and fatigue duties at the dis- cretion of the commanding officer. But no punishment drill is to exceed one hour at a time, or four hours a day, 13. — Confinement to the black hole for any period not exceeding forty-eight hours. 14.— ^All confinement to barracks carries with it punishment-drill for every day up to 1 -I: days. 15. — Solitary confinement, and confinement to the black hole or cells, are as much as possible to be reserved for cases of drunkenness, riot, violence, or insolence to superiors, and in aggravated cases are to precede the further punishment of confinement to barracks, extra THE DUTIES OF THE COMMANDING OFFICER. 27 ilrllls, and datics of fatiiijuo, it beinc; understood that tlio whole period of this confinement, including- tlic f«olitary portion, is not to exceed ojie month of 28 days. IG. — Defaulters' drills arc to be for cavalry, " kit drill," and for infantry " niarchini!; order." Defaulters are not to be re([uired to bring up those portions of their punishment which may have ])asscd them or which they may have escaped by having been in hospital or employed on duty. 17. — All punishment drill is to be carried on in the barrack yard or drill ground; and when regiments or detachments are in billets, and liave not such accommodation, their defaulters arc not to be exposed to ridicule by being drilled or posted in the streets, but they are to be marched out on one of the public roads for the prescribed period, under charge of a non-commissioned officer. 18. — Extra guards are never to bo ordered as a punishment, except for minor offences or irregularities when on or parading for that tluty. 19. — AH offences are to be recorded (in the adjutant's own liand- writimi) in the regimental dcAuilters' book which are considered de- serving of a more severe punishment than a week's continement to barracks. All confinement to the black hole or cells, or stoppage of pay for absence, is to be considered as of that more serious description of punishment, and all offences so visited must be re- corded in the regimental defaulters' book. 20. — Tlic punishments of men who have been confined are to be written in tlie guard report in the commanding officer's own hand- writing, and his initials put to them. 21. — The commanding officer is to discountenance any disposition in his officers to play with each other at any game for high stakes ; he is to use his utmost endeavours to check any approach among the younger officers to what arc termed practical jokes. He is to take frequent opportunities of examining the officers upon every point connected with their duties in the field, as to their knowledge of the " llegulations and Orders of the Army," of the Mutiny Act and Articles of AVar, of the forms, principles, and practice of Courts Martial, and of the interior economy of a troop or company. 22. — He is to avail himself of every opportunity of practically in- structing the officers in the duties of light infantry, of pickets and outposts, and the mode of conducting patrols. 23. — lie will, at his discretion, direct the field officers and cap- tains of the regiment, and occasionally even the subalterns, to take the command of the parade, and in his presence to exercise the regi- ment or battalion ; and he is to encourage the subaltern officers to qualify themselves for the duties of adjutant. 28 THE DUTIES OF THE COMMANDING OFFICER. i! ! •1 II i ' il 24. — The followln']: .sirjjurc.stions arc from IMarslml IMarmont's "Modern Annies" — traii.slated })y Captain J^endy, and arc wortliy of tlie consideration of coinniandiiii^ oiVicers: " Tiirec tilings arc necessary to ij^ivc value to troops : love of order, " habits of obedience, and confidence' i!i themselves and in others. Such in a moral point of vicnv, are the fundamental bases of an army. Without these leases an assemblai^e of men lias no consis- tence, satisfies no wants, justifies no liopcs. ** Nothini^ therefore should Ijc neglected in order to develop " these three elements in the mind and in the licart of a soldier, and " to infuse into his moral nature those liabits which I will call *' military virtues. '' ])iscipline - in other words, submission to the law and will of the lei2;al chief — sliould be kept up without any relaxation ; and every one, whatever place he occupies in the hierarchy, should con- stantly bear in mind that he only commands his subordinates in virtue of the obedience he owes his superiors. " Discipline, ahvays severe for a grave fault, should admit of modifications in its application. *' In countries where elevation of sentiment, delicacy of manner, and dignity of character, do not admit of corporal punishments, it is of importance to bring opinion to bear on punishments as much as possible. Praise and blame appropriately distributed — " the talent of exciting a useful and noble emulation, have often sufficed for jtll necdn. Punishments and rewards based on opinion are in so fur admirable, that they are susceptible of infinite shades, and act powerfully on generous minds. *' No punishment, wliatever it may be, should ever, unless for an act of flagrant cowardice, be inflicted with expressions of contempt. " Everything that degrades and disgraces the soldier diminishes " the value of the man, just as everything that elevates him in his " own eyes adds to his faculties. There are a thousand ways of *' varying the expression of these sentiments; an able chief selects " with disccrnniGnt the means that arc best adapted to the kind of " men he has to deal withj and to the circumstances in which he is placed. " In some armies severity towards derelictions, that in the eye of reason appear to be trivial, is carried to excess. '•' A severe punishment awarded for something out of order in the accoutrements, or for some momentary fiiilure of immobility when '^ under arms, is not reasonable; but moderate punishment for such " faults has its uses in a uioral point of vicAV.

" A coniniandin.L:,' ollieer cannot, without daiii;'cr, nculcct anything that contributes to impart ta those under his command habits of order and obedience ; but he should be a])le clearly to perceive the real end, without cxaggeratiiig the importance of the means. " The chief should therelbre see to the well-beiu.;' of the soldier ; he should know how on important occasions to share his sufferings and privations, to wat-ch over the maintenance of order and dis- cipline, to punish when necessary, and to seize with avidity on the opportunity of awarding recompenses ; but these recompenses should be merited, for conlidence in the justice of a chief is the foundation of his credit, and of the feeling of his men towards liim. Tlie instinct of men is clever at di.'rcovcring when their chief is wortliy of them. When this is so, his severity does not alarm or hurt, for it implies strength, and strength, when it is the sincere interpreter of the laws, ensures the cJlicacious protection of rights. Even those who come ujidcr its action feel at the bottom of their hearts how useful and worthy of respect it is. " Another duty whch ought never to be neglected, is to keep the troops actively employed. Activity should be to them second nature. Like almost all men they arc inclined to be lazy. It is doing them !i great service to prevent their becoming so. Ilepose and idleness diminish strength and valour, llealtli, energy, and moral courage usually result from a life hardened by fatigue and accustomed to exercise. " Drilling is the first clement of this activity which I insist on, but not the only one. The first thing required by the soldier is the most tliorougli instruction : when he has ac(]uired that, to occupy him with the details he is familiar with, which teach him nothing further, is an infallible way to make his profession hateful to him."

G. — Each troop and company is for the convenience of inspection to be divided into four squads. The senior subaltern will have charge of the right subdivision, or 1st and 2nd squads, the junior subaltern the left subdivision, or 3rd and 4th squads. 7. — The non-commissioned officers of full rank, excepting the colour-sergeant, will be told off by seniority to the different squads. The subaltern officers,with the non-commissioned officers under them, are responsible to the captain, who, in his turn, is answerable for his troop or company to the field officer in charge of the wing. They "svill see to the completeness and good repair of the men's kits under their charge, and also to their appointments, clothing, kc, when on parade.

The old roster will be given over to the pay-serjeant, and filed and preserved by him for at least three months. 27. — As many of the returns sent from the orderly room depend upon the accuracy of the parade states, it is of the utmost import- ance that they should be carefully made out. 28. — All crimes, passes, and daily reports must be sent to the orderly room by 9 o'clock in the morning. 29. — He should be provided with a small dctailhook, of which a fresh page should be used every day, in which are entered the names of all non-commissioned officers and men for any duty, and the duty which they are for. DUTIES OF THE ORDERLY CORPORAL. 1* — His term of duty lasts one week, during which time he will assist and be under the direction of the orderly serjeant. 2. — Ho will parade the sick in the morning with their kits, neces- saries, &c., and hand them over to the regimental orderly corporal. 3. — He will receive daily from the pay-serjeant the mess money, and parade the market party, consisting of the orderly men of rooms, with the cook and assistant cook, to be marched off by the regimen- tal orderly serjeant for the purchase of groceries, vegetables, &c., for his company. The mess book must be signed daily by the cap- tain of the company and the mess corporal. The captain on doing so will satisfy himself that the money has been equitably expended, the computations correctly made, and the signature of the trades- men attached in acknowledgment of payment. 4. — He will shew the orders to the officers of his company. 5. — He will attend all parades of his company, and not leave the barracks except in the performance of his duty, and be at all times properly dressed. " 6. — He will attend upon the pay-serjeant for the ration return at the hour appointed for the issuing of the rations, and will make him- THE COLOUB-SEBJEANT AND FAY-SEBJEANT. 49 self acquainted with the quantity and quality of the bread and beef belonging to his company. Should he be dissatisfied with either, he will respectfully bring it to the notice of the orderly oflficer, but this must be done before removal from the place of issue. 7. — He will receive over from the quarter-master or his serjeant, the company's allowance of wood on issuing days, and divide the same to the different rooms of his company. He will also attend at the quarter-master's store on the day appointed, and draw the weekly allowance of oil or lights for his company, dividing the same to the difierent rooms. THE COLOUR-SERJEANT AND PAY-SERJEANT. 1. — The colour-serjeant should always be if possible the pay Ser- jeant of his company, but a captain may appoint any one he pleases to be his pay clerk. 2.— The pay-serjeant stands in the position of company serjeant- major, (that is when he holds the .ank of colour-serjeant, which is now almost general in the service. ) In addition to his being thoroughly acquainted with his own duties, ho should be able to in- struct all under him in theirs. o. — The duties of colour-serjeants arc so various, that it will Ic only practicable to set some of them forth under the head of instruc- tions. Though the captain is not only in all things the responsible person, but one who has so much in his power, with regard to the comfort and happiness of his men, the character and efficiency of the color-sergeant cannot be too much looked to, and his position respected. From his more immediate contact with them, he may very much influence the tone of the non-commissioned officers and men of his company. 4. — Great caution is to be used in the appointment of pay-ser- jeants ; and on no account is a serjeant of the regimental staff to be employed as pay-serjeant of a troop or company. Pay-serjeants are not to be subjected to the risk of loss by having large sums of public money placed in their hands. 5. — Officers commanding troops or companies are bound to tnke charge of all public money received from paymasters, or others, on account of their troops or companies, which is only to be issued to the pay-serjeants from day to day, as required for the subsistence of the non-commissioned officers and men ; and no charge can be pre- ferred against them for the embezzlement or fraudulent application of any sum beyond the amount actually required for the purpose. % Mi^ I '4 1 ' f^ H ' I if! is: Sii^i 50 THE COLOUR-SERJEANT AND PAY-SERJEANT.

II-j should attend, if possible, at all taking or giving over of barracks to be occupied or vacated ])y his compaiw, also at all Imrrack inspec- tions. On these occasions he should note all damages or deficiencies in the different rooms, so that when the bill for barrack damages is presented against the Qpmpany, he may be able to charge each, indi- vidual with his fair share. 9. — On all occasions of drawing bedding from store, or exchang- ing these or barrack utensils after an inspection, he will personally attend, assisted by the company orderlies, taking steps to trace the owners of any extra dirty or damaged bedding, so that they may bo held to pay for the same ; and payment incurred for such things, or articles delicient, should not be included in the general charge against the company, but paid for by the persons in fault. 10. — The follov/ing rolls should be kept by pay-serjcants to assist them in the discharge of their duties. 1. A daily account of rations drawn for the company, kc[)t in tabular form and in a book. All charges or casualties arc to be carefully noted down in the column for remarks. In the same book should be kept a roll oCmen admitted to and discharged from hospi- tal or in confinement, with the dates of admission and dis- charge ; also the total number of days in hospital, ' 2.

Some non-commissioned oficers, from misdirected zeal, make the soldier needlessly uncomfortable, while others from a want of atten- tion and authority, allow the barrack room under their charge to become a bedlam. Either of these by want of judgment, drive the soldier from his barracks to seek quiet or amusement in the public house or elsewhere. It is quite possible to steer a middle course. The tirst step towards it is lor the non-commissioned officer to keep a watch over his temper, and never allow himself to be betrayed into the use of intemperate language, and unnecessary fault finding. If it becomes necessary to check irregularity, it sliould be done with firmness in a tone which must be obeyed, but does not at the same time i>ive offence throuLih haughtiness. ISoldiers in their barrack O C? CD rooms must be allowed a little latitude of conversation. It is their home for the time being, and they should always have cause to feel that it is. Their arguments one with another should not be inter- fered with by the non-commissioned officer, unless improper, or that there is a likelihood of a quarrel, when lie should try to conciliate both parties. The remarks on the passing events of the day, either public or regimental, should be tolerated in a reasonable man- ner. It is better tlie soldier sliould speak out his thoughts and views in the barrack room, than that he should be driven to low haunts for that purpose, where he may possibly be inflamed by liquor, and where there will not be the wholesome counteraction of better arguments in a better or good humoured spirit. In barrack room conversation one thing at least should bo avoided, and that is speak- ing against the known religious belief of a comrade. On this subject most men are very properly sensitive and as Her Majesty, in her regulations, has declared that every soldier shall be at full liberty to pv ■ 52 ORDEELY MEN OF ROOMS. ■li:: I ill; I 'Hi attend Divine worship according to his own religion, discussion of this nature in an acrimonious spirit sliould be immediately checked. 2. — The non-commissioned officer in charge of a room should set an example to all under him in his own person. His berth, for instance, should be a pattern of neatness and order. lie is held responsible that the orderly men attend to their duties, and that the room is put to rights before meals and parade hours. lie will inspect each man's berth on these occasions, and see that the accoutrements and clothing are all arranged according to orders. He will see that a correct roll of the men of his room is suspended at all times behind the barrack room door. He keeps the roster for the orderly men of his room. lie is responsible that the men sit down properly dressed to their meals. He will cause ,the room to be thoroughly cleaned, swept, and ventilated, the beds properly folded, and everything in order, within one hour after rouse sounding. He will see every man in bed, the water can filled with water, and every precaution taken against fire by the time " lights out" is sounded. 3. — The non-commissioned officer in charge of a room has a right to select his berth, but having once made a choice, he cannot be allowed to dispossess others for his own convenience. 4. — A list of all public property should be kept liung up, on tlie back of the door. 5. — A card with the name of the owner should be fiistened on the wall over each bed.

They will carry out all slops, remove sweepings, and keep the room at all times well supplied with fresh water. They light the fires, and remove the urine tub to the place appointed for it, and partly fill it with water, within one hour after rouse sounding. They prepare the tables for the different meals, attend the cook-house at COMPANY COOK. 53 the warning bugle, and receive from tlie conipany'a cook the rations for the men of the room. They divide the meals in the barrack rooms into single messes, and have everything ready for their com- rades to take their seats by the time tlie second bugle sounds. They are held responsible that the meals of the men on guard are ready to be handed over to those appointed to carry them by the second bugle sounding. After meals, they will wash the di.shes or mess tins, and put the room in proper order. Tliey attend at the place appointed for the issue of rations, and will consider it tlieir duty, if they think them not of proper quality, to bring the same respectfully to the notice of the orderly officer. They will convey back the urine tubs to the barrack room by retreat sounding. They are held responsible that the damper of the stove (in winter time) is shut at lights out, and at all times during the day will have a watchful eye towards the stove, to prevent accidents by lire. They will attend upon the orderly serjeant for the allowance of oil or candles for the room, and also assist in dividing the company's allowance of wood by rooms. Orderly men of rooms are available for all general parades and drills, except during the season when fuel is used, when one man should always^be left to guard against accidents by fire. ;i tks L-al Ihe m- [ed Ion pep ;ht md ley at STAIRS' ORDERLY. 1. — There will be a man warned daily under the above name.

Should there be any deficiencies or damages, a memo- randum of the same will be giv^n by the orderly serjeant to the pay- serjeant, so that at the barrack inspection the charges may be made against the proper individual. 5. — The refuse of meat, &.G., should be sold under contract made by the commanding ofliccr, the proceeds being divided among the companies, and carried to the credit of messing.

M ^m 60 CANTEENS. 11. — In every regimental hospital there should be an apartment appropriated to convalescents, whose diet and mode of living are to remain under the direction of the surgeon, and they are to be in every respect subject to the hospital regulations. 12. — Convalescents, on coming out of the hospital, are not to be put on duty till the surgeon certifies to the adjutant that they are perfectly recovered ; for which purpose the surgeon, or assistant- surgeon, is daily to make a particular inspection of these men at morning parade, to prevent any of them remaining exempted from duty longer than absolutely necessary. On a march, when circum- stances will permit, the packs of such convalescents as have not yet received certificates of being fit for duty, are to be carried for them. 13. — Convalescents, when disch.arged from the hospital, are not to be immediately put on public duties, but are to be employed for a certain time as hospital orderlies or on light duties, where they are not to be so much exposed to the weather or fatigue. 14. — In cantonments and barracks, the quarters of the surgeon are to be near the hospital, and the assistant-surgeon's tent is to be pitched in its vicinity when a regiment is in camp. t CANTEENS, 1. — Canteens are established in barracks for the exclusive use and accommodation of the troops, and for the ready supply to the soldiers of such liquors or other provisions as could not be easily procured other- wise, and^for which it would not be consistent with discipline or the obligations of duty, that soldiers should at all times and indis- criminately be permitted to resort to the markets, or to shops more or less remote from the barracks. 2. — The tenant of the canteen is required to supply the soldiers at fair and reasonable market prices, with provisions, liquors &c., of a proper quality. In order to enable the tenant of the canteen to furnish these articles to soldiers without prejudice to his own interest, and to afford him such remuneration as he has a right to expect, it is indispensable that he should be encouraged and protected.

At night if the bag- gage should not be unloaded, the wagons are to be parked so as to occupy as little space as possible, and placed under the charge of sentinels. 10. — Every chest, trunk, bale, or other article of public baggage belonging tu the regimental store, orderly room, band, officers' mess, or the hospital, is to be distinctly numbered and marked ; and all articles of officers' baggage authorized to be conveyed by the wagons •employed on a march, are to have the rank and names of the officers legibly written upon them. 11, — When two corps meet on the march, the inferior in rank halts, forms, and salutes the other which proceeds on its march. 12. — A reuiinent with colours, even thouirh of inferior rank, is to be saluted .by one without colours. 13. — A battery of Artillery marching with its guns is entitled to the same salute as a regiment with colours. it ^le lb- ted lat- )le of d\\ IctvS L-\y COURTS MARTIAL. The subject of Courts Martial is of so important a nature as to require far more space than our limits will admit of. Every officer should provide himself, in addition to the books men- tioned on page 22, with a copy of " D'Aguilar on Courts Martial," and " Pipon's 3Iilitary Law." ARMS. 1. — It is of the utmost importance that every soldier should be impressed with the necessity of j^reserving his arm at all times in the highest condition. 2. — As the value of a rifle depends on the straightness and truth CI the bore, unless every care be taken to make men regard it as a valuable and delicate arm, the results will not come up to the real powers of the weapon. '^ 68 ARMS< %l 3. — riacinp; arms forcibly in a rack, " pilin;;" tlicin carelessly, (in cousequencG of which they often fall down), will frequently " set" or crook the barrel, more particularly at the " nose," where it is thin- nest ; and this bein'j; the point of delivery, the arm becomes irrcpar- abl}'^ injured. 4. — The rifle is never on anij (trcnunt to be used for carryin*^ any wei;4ht, or for any purpose for which it is not intended, is the barrel is bent very easily ; and thouu^h the injury may be so slight as not to be perceptible to any but a practised viewer, it may be sufficient to destroy the accuracy of its shootinij^. 5. — Great cire should be taken in skirmishing not to run the muzzle of the barrel into the ground, and a soldier accidentally doing so should immediately ask permission to fall out, as if tlie piece be iired, the obstruction in the muzzle is liable to burst the b:irrel. If not loaded, the dirt should be carefully removed and the barrel wiped out, for if rammed down with a charge, it would tear the barrel and destroy tlie surface of the bore. Great care should also be taken in loading, to ascertain that the bullet rests on the powder. G. — If the interior of the barrel be allowed to become rusty, the* increased resistance to the passage of the bullet will probably cause the latter to " strip" (or pass out of the grooving), or else the wood plug may be driven through the bullet, and the arm for the time rendered useless or dangerous. 7. — In order to ensure unused rifles being kept in proper order, ofliccrs' servants are to parade with their companies once a week, with their arms and accoutrements, when a strict examination of them will be made ; the barrels inside freed from any obstruction, and the locks duly oiled before being returned to the arm-chests or placed in the arm-racks. The spare arms, and those of the sick in hospital, are to be in like manner inspected and put in order by the company store armourer, or as may be directed by the officer command- ing the company, who is personally responsible for the efficiency of all. To every duty state a certificate is to be added, that the arms were duly examined and found in good order on the and that the instructions for cleaning arms, as prescribed in the Mus- ketry Regulations, are duly observed. 8. — Every soldier is to be taught the names of the different parts of his rifle, and the rules for cleaning and keeping them in proper order. This is to be the first exercise in which he is practised. 9.— On all occasions after firing, captains of companies will parade their men with arms, within one hour after dismissal, and will as- certain that the rifles have been thoroughly cleaned. A clean piece of rag will be inserted in the jug of the ramrod when the arms are INSTRUCTI0N3 F02 CLEANING THE RIFLE. 09 cxainincil, the saino bciivj; done at any other tiino an oflicor inny .sus- pect a rifle oi' bein^ rusty inside. lO.-Wh I. — When a company is ordered on active service, a sumcicnt quantity of ra^s and oil sliould be provided for keeping]; the arms clean. It' " raniioon" oil cnnnot be had, purilied neats-fuot oil is the best, or L:ood sperm oil will do, but in no case sliould olive oil or any other vegetable oil be used. 11. — Rust is caused by tiic joint eflects of moisture and air, the surest way therefore of preventing rust in the barrel is to keep the bore perfectly dry, and invaria})]y to have the muzzle-stopper in it, and the snap-c.'ip on the nipple to exclude all air. 12. — When on picket, or whenever the rifle is likely to be exposed to rain when loaded, (which should never be allowed, if it can bo avoided), the percussion caf) should bo removed, and the snap-cap placed on the nipple insteid. In the absence of the snap-cap, stop up the nipple with grease, easing the spring in either case; if there be no grease at hand, drive a peg oi' soft wood into the nipple, and put the cap on. Neither the grease nor the peg will in any way impede the action of the percussion cap if pro])erly pres.'Cd home on the nipple, as both will disappear on the explosion. ^ 13. — No non-commissioned officer or private is on any account whatever to be allowed to remove his lock from the stock or take it to pieces, until it is ascertained that he is thoroughly capable of doing so accurately and efficiently. As the barrel seldom needs re- moving from the stock, this service, which requires great care in its execution to prevent the head of the rifle from being broken, is inva- riably to be performed by the regimental armourer or his assistant, more particularly as the ordinary turn-screw is not adapted either to remove the breech-pin or to screw it home again. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING THE RIFLE, 1. — n ;ce the rifle at full cock, and draw the ramrod. 2. — Put a piece of rag, (woollen if possible) or tow, into the jag, and twist it round so as to cover it. 3. — Hold the rifle in the left hand, at the full extent of the arm, with the fore-finger and thumb in line with, and round the muzzle, the heel of the butt resting on the ground to the rear. 4. — Pour a small quantity of water into the barrel with care, so as to prevent any of it getting between stock and barrel, or into the lock through the tumbler axle hole j immediately afterwards, put the ramrod into the barrel, a' '' ib it carefully up and down to remove 70 AMMUNITION. ■;!■'■' the dirt or fouling, forcing the water throuj^li tlio nipple to clear the touch-hole. Jlepcat this process til' the water conies out ot* the nipple quite clean. 5. — Wipe the barrel well out with r.iu; or tow until it is perfectly dry, and al'tcrwards with an oiled rap:; then pit in the muzzle stop- per. Tiie fouling which settles on tiie stock, near the nip})le lump when firing, should if possible be removed without using water or a damp rag. On no account is a knife, or sharp instrument of any description, to be used to remove the dirt near the nipplj lump or trigger plate. Care should be taken to keep the snap-cap dry when washing out the barrel, and to wipe the nipple and the mouth of the hammer before letting it down. (j. — " Nosing sticks " to clean the inside of the muzzle of the rifle arc strictly forbidden. 7. — Every morning, and on every occasion before using the rifle, wipe the barrel out peri'ectly clean and dry, 8. — By the foregoing mode of cleaning, the liability of the barrel to become rusty will be very much reduced, and the frequent neces- sity for removing it from the stock, which is always objectionable, be obviated. 9. — In order to prevent water soaking into the stock, and at the same time to give it a smooth and polished appearance, rub it well with oil, and apply a little beeswax between it and the barrel, and between the lock-plate and stock, to prevent water getting under the barrel or into the lock. AMMUNITION. 1. — The greatest attention must be paid to the cleanliness of the inside of the pouches, so that no dirt may adhere to the lubrication of the cartridges. 2. — Whenever there are any loose cartridges in the pouch, they should be folded in paper, in order that they may not become damaged. To preserve the amunition in an efficient condition, the pouch should always be well packed, and no vacant space allowed in any of the compartments in which there arc cartridges. 3. — As powder when damp will not send a bullet as far as when perfectly dry, and as it is also more difficult to ignite by the flame of the percussion cap, the cartridge and caps are always to be kept as dry as possible. 4. — It is the duty of a commanding officer, and under his superin- tendence, of captains of companies, to see that the ammunition in pos- session of the men is properly preserved ; and it is important that V(-. .?'

Copper caps for .service ammunition are i.-;sued in the proportion of three to two rounds of ^munition. 0. — When any emeru^c -y shall arise t3 call for a further supply, it will be issued to the fuL extent of sixty rounds per man, so as to fill the pouches. 7. — Thc^ delivery of ammunition from the rciiimcntal or depot magazine, is to hd made by the t/n wtcr-m'tafer hinisc//', and not by any subordinate authority, to the captains or commanding officers of troops or companies, who are to give receipts for the same, and arc responsible to the commatiding otlieer for the care and expendi- ture of the quantity they receive. 8. — Previous to tlie delivery of hbink]^ ammunition to the men, captains or commanding officers of troops or companies are to ascer- tain that no bdll ammunition remains in the pouches, and through inattention becomes mixed with the hlnuk cartridges. 0. — The ammunition in store belonging to regiments, depots, and detachments, is to bo inspected by the commanding olHcer at least once a month, and particular care is to be taken that it be deposited in a place of safety. 10. — The ammunition in possession of the men (including copper caps) is to be carefully inspected at each parade, by the officer in command of the company, troop, or detaclimcnt, and any damage is to be reported to the commanding officer, in order that prompt and effectual steps be taken to replace the same, and to punish those who wilfully or through carelessness occasion injury to any part of tlieir ammunition. 11. — Service ammunition which has been the longest period in possession is to he first used, and no loose or broken ammunition is to be permitted to remain in the pouches. When ammunition in possession of the men has become loose or broken, it is to be taken from them and carried under charge of tlie quarter-master, until an opportunity shall offer of delivering it into store or exchang- ing it. Any loose powder is to be packed separately from the balls. 12. — All ammunition not packed in the men's pouches is to be kept and carried under charge of the quarter-master. He is strictly to avoid the use of iron hoops or iron nails in the heading up of cart- ridge barrels, or the presence of iron or grit among the percussion fei I •>*'»Ji ■ 72 AFFLICAnON FOR LEAVE OF ABSENCE BY OFFICERS. caps, cartridges, or loose powder. The use of iron nails in fasten- ing on cards of address is also strictly prohibited. 13. — The packages of aiiiniunition should be placed crosswise in the large pouches, and packed tight with pieces of cork. 1-1. — Each man should have a stnall ard, as per form No. 35, tied across the packages. BLACKIXG FOR ACCOUTREMENTS. Good paste blacking should be used for cleaning accoutrements. An article called " Harris's Composition " is very highly recom- mended, but no varnish should on any account be allowed to be used. AFPLICATIOX FOR LEAVE OF ABSENCE BY OFFICERS. 1. — As the adjutant is responsible for the correct keeping of the duty roster and all ordorly-room returns, it is imperative that he should be ac(iuaiiitcJ with an officer's obtaining leave even from parade. 2. — All applications to cjichange duties, or for temporary leave of absence, should be handed in to the adjutant the morning before the day for which the in(hilg(Mice is solicited, for submission to the com- manding officer. 3. — AH applications for General leave from detachments must be forwarded to the officer commanding at head quarters, recommended or otherwise by the officer commanding the detachment, and they are to be regulated in point of time, so as to admit of being submitted to the General, at least one week before the leave applied for is *o take effect. In cases of urgent necessity, the reason for deviating from this rule must be shown in the letter accompanying the appli- cation. 4. — Applications for a prolongation of leave must be made in a similar manner. 5. — An officer applying for general or temporary leave will clearly state the period he wants, and the cause on account of which the leave is asked. lie will also give his address. G. — Officers who receive leave of absence are to be present with the regimciifc 0!i the day on which their leave terminates. They will report themiclves personally on their arrival to the command- ing officer, and give notice in person or in writing tj the adjutunt. PLEASURE PASSES FOP. KON-COMMISSIONED OFIICEP.S AND MEN. 73 They will also make themselves acquainted with all orders issued durinsr their absence. CD 7. — Officers on temporary leave make good all duties misled dur- ing their ab.scncG. It is only when on general leave they are exempt from this. 8. — Subaltern officers v.isliing to apply for leave even from parade, should notify the same to tli(i c;i!)tain of their company, ascertaining that he has no objection to it. PLEASURE PASSES FOR .\O.Y-COMmSSIONED OFFI- CERS AND MEN. 1. — Men who arn weeks, (the number of weeks will be at the discretion of the commandiilg oilieer), clear of punishment, will be considered entitled to the indulgence of passes for the purpose of visiting their friends, or attending lectures or places of amusement. Passes for the town where troops are quartered should not, except in special cases, be given beyond \'l o'clock midnight, (see form No. 7.) 2. — Men requiring passes for a few days only, will make good all duties mi. sed. As volunteer companies are seldom likely to be on active service for more than a lew months, it is not probable that men will often want leave for more than a few days, but if so, the appli- cation must be forward''d to the General at least eight days before tlio leave is wanted. Men absent for more than 15 days should not be required to make up any missed duties. 3. — Soldiers going on pass or furlough beyond the precincts of the place wlicre they arc quartered, are not permitted to take any por- tion of their arms or accoutrements with them. 4. — No indulgence in the way of passes or furloughs will be granted, unless recommended by the officer commanding the company to which the man b' V)ngs. 5. — Servants must obtain ■ n the back of their pass, the signature of the officer by wliom they are enq>loyed, before it is presented to tlic colour-serjeant. Jiandsurjii in the same way should obtain the signature of the band master. 0. — Commanding officers before granting sick furloughs, are to obtain from medical officers a distinct ojiinion, as to whether the cases are likely to be benefited by the removal of the patients to other localities ; and they are ai^; to take steps for ascertaining that the men's friends are in a situation to ailord them such aid as the njture of their ailments requires. 7. — A furlough is not to be graiitcd to any soldier to act' as a servant, * --^y^ I' Ifl i\ *]• I r, 7 J, PLEASURE PASSES FOR NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS AND MEN. 8. — A soldier to whom a furlough is granted, is to rejoin the regi- ment on or before the day on which it expires; if he should fail to rejoin, and no satisfactory account should be received as to the cause of his continuing absent, he is to be dealt with as a deserter. 9. — When soldiers, absent from their ic'-iinents on furlouiili, are prevented by sickness, or otiicr unavoidable casualty, from rejoining their regiments, by the periods at which their furloughs expire, they are to address themselves to the nearest military officer, being a (lencral, or other officer on the staff of the army ; or to the commanding officer of a regiment or depot ; who are authorized to grant in writing, an extension of furlough for any period not exceeding one month, to a soldier applying for the sanic on account of urgent cir- cumstances, which may appear after due investigation to render it necessary. 10. — In the event of there being no officer of the above description within a convenient distance, the soldier requiring an extension of his furlough on account of sickness or other casualty, is to make application to a Justice of the Peace, who is authorized to grant an extension of furlough under 'he circumstances above stated, for any period not exceeding one month. 11. — When General or other officers, or Justices of the peace, ex- tend a soldier's furlough, tliey are immediately to make a communi- cation of the circumstances under which such extension was granted, to the officer commanding the regiment or depot to which the soldier belongs. 12.— Although officers of the description before specified, and Jus- tices of the peace are authorized by the Mutiny Act to grant, in writ- ing under their hands, extension of furloughs to non-commissioned officers or soldiers, on account of sickness, or other unavoidable casual- ty, yet should it afterwards appear, that any non-commissioned officer or soldier shall have obtained an extension of his furlough by false representation, or, in applying for and obtaining the same, shall have committed any offiince to the prejudice of good order and military dis- cipline, such non-commissioned officer or soldier may be proceeded against and punished according to the Articles of War. 13. — All passes and furloughs will, on the soldier returning to bar- racl..', be handed to the non-commissioned officer commanding the barrack guard, whether it bo day or night. If a man overstays his leave he must be confined. 14. — The hour at which the man returns will be entered on the pass by the non-commissioned officer of the barrack-guard. The re- turned passes will be deposited in the orderly room along with the guard report. 15. — Men on furlough, or on pass for any period beyond 12 o'clock LEAVE FROM FABADE. 75 at nigbt, will report themselves personally to the orderly serjcant on their return to barracks, and will then be available for all duties whether their time has expired or not. Passes for leave from Church parade should not be admitted, unless some very exceptional reasons should be adduced. 16. — In cases where extensions of furloughs are given by persons authorized to grant such indulgence ujidcr the circumstances above stated, the period is to be inserted in icords on the orif/uiali'urhvv^h. 17. — An officer is liable to forfeit his pay for absenting liimself without leave, overstaying his leave, failing to join within two months, on promotion, exchange, removal or appointment, or failing on first appointment to join as directed. 18. — If a soldier is absent without leave for any period exceeding 5 days, his pay for the period thereof is forfeited. If for 5 days and under, the forfeiture may be either enforced or remitted, at the discre- tion of the commanding officer. 1 ' us- bar- the his LEAVE FROM PARADE. 1. — The commanding officer is the only person authorized to give leave from parades or from tattoo roll call. 2. — In barracks there is generally no parade on Saturday, which is set apart as a general cleaning day. 3. — When a general or drill parade is ordered, the individuals ex- empt from it will be named from the orderly room, but as a general rule the following will be exempt : staff Serjeants, men on guard, men employed in the regimental hospital, attending sick officers, the regi- mental letter carrier, batmen to mounted officers, mess-man, cook and mess waiter at officers' mess, cooks, and any men that may be on duty positively requiring their attendance at the hour named for the parade. 4. — The monthly muster parade must be attended by every man not on any other duty actually recjuiring his attendance at that par- ticular hour. 5. — Men coming off guard in the morning arc usually exempt from the morning parade, but they are available for afternoon parades. the re- the jlock RIOTS. 1. — "When troops are called out in order to suppress a riot, the officer commanding is to take the most effectual means, in conjunction with the magistrates under whose orders they may be placed, for noti- 70 BIOTS. fyin*^ beforehand, and explaining to the people opposed to them, that in the event of the troops being ordered to fire, their fire will be effective. 2. — When troops are called out in aid of the civil power, the officer commanding at the station is immediately to report the same by icle- gntph to the military secretary, and the officer commanding the party will report to the same authority in writing, as well as to the officer commanding the station from which he has been detached, the pro- gress and completion of the service on which he has been employed. 3. — No officer is to go out with troops in the suppression of riot, the maintenance of public peace, and the execution of the law, except on the requisition of a magistrate in writing. 4. — The officer commanding the troops is to move to the place to which he shall be directed by the magistrate ; he is to take care that the troops march in regular military order, with the usual precautions, and that they arc not scattered, detached, or posted in a situation in which they may not be able to act in their own defence. 5. — The magistrate is to accompany the troops, and the officer is to remain near him. 0. -All commands to the troops are to be given by an officer. 7. — The troops are not on any account to fire, excepting by word of conwKtnd of their officer ; and the officer is not to give the word of command to Jirc, unless distinctly required to do so by the magistrate. 8. — When the number of the detachment shall be under twenty files, it is to be told off into four sections. 9. — If there should be more thaTi twenty files, the detachment is to be told off into more sections than four. 10. — The officer comniandinir is to exercise a humane discretion respecting the extent of the line of fire. 11. — If he should be of opinion that a slight effort would be suffi- cient 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, he is to give the word of command to one of the sections, told off as above ordered, to tire ; the fiie of the other sections being kept in re- serve till necessary, and when required, the fire of each of them being given by the regular word of the commanding officer. 12. — If there should be more officers than one with the detach- ment, and it should be necessary that more sections than one should fire at a time, the commanding officer is to fix upon, and clearly indi- cate to the troops, what officer is to order any number of the sections to lire : — such oflicer is to receive his direction from the commanding officer, after the hitter shall have received the requisition of the ma- gistrate 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 book for the entry of regimental orders is to consist of two parts, viz : Part 1. — Of Temporary Orders. Part 2. — Of Permanent Orders. In part Ijall orders issued by the General officer commanding the station, brigade, c^c, or by the commanding officer of the regiment, arc to be entered as tliey are issued. If a regiment should continue on active service for more than a year, at the commencement of each year these entries are to be reviewed, and such of the orders as shall appear to the commanding officer necessary to be retained, are to bo transcribed into part 2 ; after these extracts have been made, part 1 may be destroyed. The permanent book is to have an index, con- taining the date and purport of each order, the name of the officer by whom issued^ and the page at which it is entered. 1 9!

Every man is to have a clear leaf of the ledger to himself, with liis name a»id number distinctly written on the top of the page. The entries made in the day-book are to be transcribed into the ledger on or bel'orc the last day of each month. The articles are to be detailed, and the price of each article and the date at which it is supplied are in every case to be specified. A convenient space is to be left in each man's account for his signature, as an acknowledgment of the cor- rectness of his account as made up at the prescribed period of settle- ment. Soldiers who cannot write are to make their marks in presence of a witness (not the commanding oflicer or the pay-serjeant of a company), and all accounts are to be countersigned by the officer in presence of the men. When the soldier is in debtor credit, the officer will sign his name under the balance. When the account balances, he will sign the credit feide, and the soldier will in allcascs sign the opposite side. The balance of a soldier's account should be entered in the acquittance roll, and signed at the actual time of settlement. — Before signing the acquittance roll, the declaration at the top thereof should be read.

TAKING OVER A COMPANY. 85 GASH ACCOUNT AND BALANCE SHEET OF A COMPANY. These two accounts should be kept by every captain, in order to ensure the proper expenditure of sums entrusted to him. 1. — Cash Account. All sums received as subsistence should be debited to this account, and all authorized disbursements, whether on account of the ordi- nary expenditure of the company or otherwise, should be placed to its credit. On the last day of each month the cash account should be balanced and closed. 2. — Company Balance Sheet. The object of this is to enable the captain, by balancing the assets of his company against its liabilities, to shew and record the exact state of its affairs at each period of monthly settlement. If the assets and liabilities, when correctly stated, exactly balance, the accounts of the month have been accurately kept, and no loss has been sustained. If the liabilities exceed the assets, the company has lost money, cither through bad debts or through error, which it is tlie captain's duty to make good. If the assets exceed the liabilities, an error has occurred, or a payment has been omitted, which it is the captain's duty to discover and rectify. Under the heads of assets and liabilities, the following descriptions of items should be included in the monthly balance sheet. The credit '"if any) of the paymaster's abstract, the debts of the men as per acquittance roll, sums charged to the company by the paymaster too late for entry in the men's accounts, the cash in hand (if any) on the last day of the month, and all recoverable sums due to the company, are assets. The debt (if any) of the paymaster's abstract, the credits of the men as per acquittance roll ; sums credited to the company by the paymaster too late for entry in the men's accounts ; the cash (if any) advanced by the captain, and any sum unavoid- ably remaining due by the company on the last day of the month, are UahiUtles. m eld TAKING OVER A COMPANY. 1. — When an officer takes over a company, he receives into his charge from the officer giving it over, the whole of the public pro- perty, books, necessaries and accounts.

He should also require the arms to be inspected if possible by the armourer. He will also take over all company books and documents, the duty roster, &c., and will see that all the proper entries have been made up to the date of transfer. 4. — In the Ilegular service an officer is not bound to take over more than £10 stg. With a company, or 10s. with an individual. The difference, however, when recovered from the men, is to be remitted to the olUcer entitled to receive it.

Court Martial, or duty of fatigue when he comes off, but his tour is to pass ; and in like manner, if he shall be upon a General or Garrison Court Martial, or duty of fatigue, and his tour of guard or detachment shall happen, such guard or detachment is to pass him, and he is not to bo obliged to make it good. 6. — When from-poculiar circumstances it is probable that a consider- able time may elapse before the sentence of a Court Martial be made known, the members are liable to return to, and do duty with their MEN FOR DUTY-ORDER IN WHICH TO BE WARNED. 87 respective corps, at the discretion of the General officer command- ing; but they are on no account to quit the station where the Court Martial is held, without special authority, until the sentence shall have been approved and confirmed. 7. — A Court Martial, the mpnibers of which shall have been assem- bled and sworn, is to bo reckoned a duty, though they shall have been dismissed without trying any person. 8. — When an officer is warned for one duty, he is not to be placed on any other duty without authority. 0. — An officer is not to exchange his duty with another without leave of the commanding officer of his regiment, or other authority by which he was placed on that duty. 10. — A regiment, detachment, guard, picket, or fatigue party is not entitled to exemption from a tour of duty, unless it has been marched off the ground where it may have been ordered to parade.

Thus, a party required at 7, a. m., will be given out before one not required till 9, a. m. 5.^ — In small detachments of not more than one company, where the duty men are comparatively few, the most correct and easy way is for the serjeant-major at each post to keep an alphabetical roll of 88 HONOURS TO BE PAID AT FUNEBALS. ;! i; ii i- the men, and detail them individually. This system will prevent any difficulty in the event of a sudden increase or decrease. G. — Fatigues from the orderly room will be detailed by numbers, according to the available men each company shows in its last render ed duty state. 7. — Men should not, excei)t in cases of necessity, be taken for fatigue within a shorter interval than two hours after guard, or one hour after meals. When coming off escort, they should have at least the day on which they return, for themselves. 8. — As a general rule, the cook of a company, non-commissioned officers and men on escort, or giving evidence before a Court Martial, will not make good any guards, pickets, or fatigues, when it has passed their turn in the roster. An assistant cook will be exempt from escort, picket, or fatigues, during his occupation as such. 9. — Men on guard are not allowed to claim exemption from a fatigue, because whilst on guard it may have passed their turn.

In case of the death of a soldier, the commit- tee of adjustment will consist of his captain and two other officers. 3. — After securing the eff'ects of the deceased, if the representative of the deceased pays the preferential charges, the committee do not interfere farther.

CONCLUSION. 91 MILITARY DISCrSSIONS, dx. 1. — Deliberations or discussions amonij; any class of niilltary men, liavinp: the object ot'convcyinj^ praise, censure, or any mark of appro- bation towards their superiors or others, are strictly prohibited, as being subversive of discipline, and an assumption of power which belongs to the Sovereign alone, or to those officers to whom the command and discipline of the troops may be intrusted by Royal autliority. 2. — 1^'ivery officer will therefore beheld responsible, who sliall allow liimself to be complimented by officers, non-commissioned officers or soldiers, who are serving, or who have served under his command, by means of presents of plate, swords, &c., or by any collective expres- sion of their opinion. 3. — Commanding officers are to use their utmost vigilance to pre- vent the non-commissioned officers and men furnishing military information to the public press. . for CONCLUSION. The following is taken from the Confidential Reports in the Queen's R'igulations. 1. — The commanding officer is to take every opportunity of impressing upon the officers of every rank, the advantage which they individually, the corps, and the service at large, will derive from the adoption towards the non-commissioned officer and soldier, of a sys- tem of command and treatment which shall be free from coarse and offensive language in reproving the soldier for trifling irregularities, or for accidental omissions. They are to be told that the use of gross language and offensive terms, upon any occasion, is not onJy unbecoming their own character and station as officers and gentle- men, but degrading to the soldier ; whereas it is desirable to keep up in all ranks of the army a proper feeling and high sense of honour, by which the correct discharge of duty will be best ensured. 2. — If reproof be necessary, it is to be conveyed in such manner, and in such terms, as will make an impression, without hurting the feelings of the individual, and lowering him in his own estimation. The officers are not only to obsr^ve this injunction themselves, but they are to require it to be c /served by the non-commissioned officers ; and their example will have the effect of checking the use of improper and offensive terms on the part of the non-commissioned '.iii. ..ii li 92 FORM OF BEFOBT FOR THE CAPTAIN OF THE DAT. officers towards the soldiers. If acts of intentional neglect and of insubordination should take place, the means of correction and punishment, authorized by the regulations of the s rvice are to be resorted to, and they will have double effect if not preceded by coarse and abusive language ; indeed it will probably be found that they will become comparatively rare, as the duty will be do.ie more cheerfully and zealously. ih i FOHM No. 1.
