he gives up all clothing, except his boots, and one suit to travel in, and 
takes a worn-out coat, his clothing being kept in store till he is finally 
accepted or rejected, see A.C. 112 of 1876. To Militia Permanent 
Staff, he takes all his clothing, see A.C. 7 of 1876.

establishment of their new corps. For the issue of these articles see 
Artillery Order 93 of 1878, page 18 : for expense of marking them see 
98 of 1878, page 13. Necessaries already in possession of transfers 
are not re-marked, see same Order 98 of 1878, nor is clothing, 
see A.C. 15 of 1880.

transfer, passes from the charge of his old battery to that of his new 
corps. A clothing transfer return, W.O. Form 32, therefore ac¬ 
companies each transfer: this return contains a full statement of all 
the clothing the man has in his possession when he leaves his battery, 
with the date to which each article is to last, and the amount of 
compensation he is entitled to for any article not issued. Special notes 
should be made against any time-expired articles left in the man’s 
possession, to show what they really are, and to distinguish them from 
the regular issues not yet worn their fall time. If any article has been 
taken from the man by his old battery, as not worn by his new corps, 
it is still entered with a note in its proper column, to show that it 
has been issued and withdrawn, and so to prevent any claim for non¬ 
issue; in such cases care must also be taken that the receipt into 
store of such withdrawn articles is noted in the stock book and in 
the man’s detailed account (para. 171). When a man is transferred 
after conviction for making away with clothing which has not been 
replaced, fall details of the original issue, of its loss, and of the 
amount to be recovered, should be given. It is obviously very im¬ 
portant to both the corps concerned that this return be correct, and 
each has to ascertain bv actual inspection that the articles corre-
