MILITIA. 



There is no Militia Regiment in existence, but the Governor of 

 St. Helena may call out and embody upon any pressing emergency 

 wherein the safety and security of the colony may be involved 

 all and every male inhabitant of the said island between the ages 

 of fifteen and fifty-five, as the local Militia of the island, and at 

 all times when it may seem expedient to him so to do, the Governor 

 may enrol a certain number of the inhabitants not exceeding 360, 

 in all, to serve as the Local Militia. The force enrolled may be 

 required to parade for drill not more than twelve times in each 

 year, and will not be entitled to any pay or allowance on such 

 occasions. Recruits are entitled to 1/6 per day when being taught 

 their exercise. If called and embodied for permanent duty, the 

 Local Militia will be entitled to the same pay and allowances as 

 officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers of His Majesty's 

 Army. There hag been no enrolment of the force since 1874. The 

 act in force for regulating the Militia is Ordinance No. 2, of 1874,

 ing to the Local Militia."
