Persons enrolled therein and engaged to serve as Volunteers, can withdraw themselves from such service, so as to avoid the fines and penalties imposed in cer tain cases by 43 Geo. 111. cap. tat, or so as not to continue liable to march to any part of Great Britain, when required, in the manner prescribed by the 44th and ,c4th Clauses of the 43 Geo. 111. cap. 96, under the pains and penalties there set forth ? • " I have accordingly taken the same into consideration, and, as the Sot. c ITOR Girl is a xi. is at present absent' from town, holding his Court as Chancellor of Durham, and may not return so soon as our report to these questions 'may be required, I have taken the liberty of transmitting to you my own opinion alone.
