IMPORTANT VOLUNTEER qUILITION.—THE EIGHT or
oimrati,c,; or THE UNIFORM.

Remy R ryises, a youth about 17 years of age, who was
stated to be an effective of the filth North Middlesex Ride
Volunteer:, appeared before Mr. Wyman to answer a sum-
mons charging him with unlawfully selling certain clothing
&livered to him fur the use of the regiment, the property
of the commenting, offl,cr, Lord Enfield, M.P.
A solicitor attemle 1 iu support of the summons, and mid
the proceedings were taken under the 41th 4 koo. 111., e. 54,
awl the 44th section, which referred to all effective yeo-
manry and volunteer corps, and stated that if any man
shall sell, ite., any arms, accoutremeuta, clothing, or
ammunition delivered to him out of the public storea,or far.
sighed at the public expense, he shall be liable to • penalty
sot exceeding 40e.„ and is default to be committed for seven
days, with bard labour. The 50th section enacted that they
should be deemed the property of the commanding officer.
The learned gentleman said it wan • very important
question, adecting all corps of volunteers, and as it was the
ant case brought before a magistrate, he should pries for
the full penalty.
The came was, as dated by Sergeant• Major Hanlon, of the
Kensington Cumpany,and Mr. Ousineeco, the secretary, that
the defeniLud was find admitted as • member of the drum
and fife band, and afterwards \ewes sworn in as an effective.
A suit of uniform was supplied him, for which he had to
pay by instalments. The clothing was worth If. 10a., and
be bad only paid If. le, which included his subscription.
They conintlered that the clothing brimmed to the coinimuld-
ing officer until it was fully paid for, when it became the
pmperty of the member.
Mr. Martin, who appeared for the defendant, admitted
that the clothing had been sold, and said that hie client had
been dismissed the regiment.
Mr. Hanlon mid the defendant had been ordered not to
associate with the boys in consequence of his conduct, but
he hail not been dismissed, as that power only belonged to
the commanding officer, awl he was still on the roll a an
effective member.

Mr. I hsyrnan decided against the complainant, as he con-
sidered the act applied to clothing that did not belong to
the members. The :Ilst section, which must be read with
the other clauses, st►ted that any member is entitled to
'loot any corps by giving fourteen days' notice in writing,
sod shall deliver up all anon, kc., " that shall hare bean
fornithed to him at the pablie expense, or by any
other person, or at the charge of any subecrip-
tiori fur furnishing such arms, dtc." He was of
opinion that the act could not apply to a man's own
clothing for which he had paid, but only to that supplied by
public enbecriptios. Ile thought the adhere had the remedy
in their own hands by making it a regulation when members
were enrolled that they should declare tesiire up the cloth-
saki.. paid for. Am this was merely • breach of contract
he dismissed Use summons.
