PROPOSED VOLUNTEER RIFLE CORPS FOR
TEA N MERE.
rrHE COMMITTEE appointed t 9 test the opinion
Of the inhabitants of Tranmere as to the desirability of
Establishing a VOLUNTEER RIFLE CORPS for that district, _
have received so much encouragement, both as regards- the
number of Volunteers and promised Subscribers to the Fund,
that they now feel themselves justified in calling a Meeting to
inaugurate the Corps.
A PUBLIC MEETING will therefore be held on WT.E.N ESDAY
Evuicirro, the 30th instant, at the BerrAimia-Romis, Tranmere,
at Half-past Seven o'clock, to elect a Committee who shall have
power to arrange for commencing Drill, the Enrolment of the
Company, and other necessary matters. The attendance of
intending Members, Subscribers, and others favourable to the
movement, is respectfully invited. •
The Corps will be formed on the most popular basis consist-
ent with its being self-supporting ; the plan being to raise,
from intending Members and the Public, a Fund from which
to equip all eligible persons who ofi'er their services, and who
will pay a Subscription of £2 2s. per annum.
This amount of Subscription, it has been calculated, will
cover all Current Expenset, and render the CoMpany free from
the necessity. of making any appeals to the puhlic hi future
years: But in the meantime, a fund equivalent 'to £.l for each
Member enrolled will be required; and the Committee trust
that the patriotism of Tranmere and the neighbourhood will
be shown in a manner that will, not necessitate their rejection
of ant Volunteers through lack of funds. " -
