officer or soldier, shall have completed the term of service
for which he was originally enlisted, not being less than
10 years in infantry, or 12 in cavalry, artillery, or engi-
neers, or who, after 5 years' service, has been discharged
for any cause other than misconduct, without a permanent

such service by a declaration in the form hereto annexed,
be enrolled to serve in the Reserve Force, under the autho-
rity of the Act 22 and 23 VictOria, c. 42, for such period as
may be wanting to complete 21 years, if he originally en-
listed in the infantry, or 24 years if he enlisted in cavalry,
artillery, or engineers, reckoning two years' service in such
Reserve Force as one tawards the attainment of these seve-
ral periods of service, provided that such person shall be
enrolled within 5 years after his discharge from the army.
2. Till ether arrangements are authorised, the persons
composing the Reserve Force shall be attached duringpe-
riods of training and exercise, or when called out for the other
purposes specified in the said act, to any Infantry Regi-
ment, or depot, or to the Enrolled Pensioner Force; which-
ever may, by the Secretary of State for War, be considered
most convenient, and shall obey all orders of the officers or
non-commissioned officers of such Regiment, Depot, or
Enrolled Pensioner Force, while so attached.
3. Every person thus enrolled shall be bound to register
his place of abode in the books of the pension district in
which he receives enrolment money, and to abide thereat,
and not remove therefrom, without giving due notice ; and
the distance of his residence is not, in any case, except by
special authority, to exceed 30 miles from the bead-quar-
ters of such Pension District.

4. All persons enrolled in this Reserve Force shall be
bound to attend regularly at the hour and place of assem-
bly, when called out for training and exercise, either with
the Regiment Depot or Pensioner Force to which they may
have been attached as aforesaid, for a period not exceeding
12 days in each year, or at any time and place, when
called on for the preservation of the public peace, or during
8141 period as her Majesty may require their services within
the United Kingdom, in the event of invasion or immi-
nent danger thereof, or in case of war ,• on all which
occasions they will be under the command of the General
Commanding-in-Chief of her Majesty's Forces, and subject
to the Articles of War. _

6. All persons failing to atteid on these occasions 'without
reasonable cause, or when they have volunteered their ser-
vices for permanent duty, or who may be convicted of any
serious misconduct or breach of discipline while so em-
ployed, or of violence or disrespect at any time towards the
officers entrusted with their payment and superintendence,
or who shall be guilty of any fraudulent statement at their
enrolment, shall, in addition to any other penalty, be liable
to dismissal from the Force, with the forfeiture wholly or
in part of the several advantages authorised by this War-
rant. _ _ _

6. On the termination of the period of service for which
these men have engaged in the Reserve Force, and on the
fulfilment of the other conditions, they shall be entitled to
the same rates of pension as they would have attained by
the Warrants under which they originally enlisted, had
they continued to servo in the corps from which they were
discharged till they completed the period of 21 and 24 years
respectively, and they shall be permitted to add to such
pension an amount equal to the good-conduct pay
of which they had been in continuous receipt
for two years immediately preceding the date of
their discharge. Such pension, however, shall in no
case exceed tenpence a day for a private, one shilling for a
corporal, or one shilling and threepence for a sergeant or
other superior non-commissioned officer; but except by
special authority no service shall be reckoned for any year
in which the person enrolled has not resided at his registered
place of abode, or has unlawfully absented himself during
any portion of the exercise for which he shall have been
called out in terms of the act above referred to.

7. All persons enrolled in the Reserve Force who may be
wounded or disabled in the execution of their duty, shall be
entitled to the same pension as, under similar circumstances
and for the like service, would have been granted in the re-
gular forces of her Majesty, and when called out on perma-
nent or continuous duty for any period exceeding three
months, the whole of such period shall be reckoned accord-
ing to the usual regulations of the service, and not at the
rats of two years for one.
8. The staff-officer of the pension district in which per-
sons have been enrolled for this Reserve Force, or such other
officers as may be appointed for that purpose, shall keep a
record of the number of days' service performed by each per-
son in the course of the year, as ascertained either from
that officer's own knowledge, or the report of the Com-
manding officer of the regiment or depot with which such
person may have been trained, and also of the extent of his
service prior to leaving his regiment, so that he may be
enabled to report to the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital
when the right to pension has been attained in each case;
and the officer or officers by whom such person has been
trained, shall also note on a certificate to be given to him,
whether the extent of service which he was bound to per-
form up to the 31st of March in each year, has been regu-
larly completed.
9. No person enrolled in the Reserve Force shall be
compelled to serve in a grade lower than that which he last
held in his corps, but any interval which may take place in
his service while awaiting a vacancy shall not bo allowed to
reckon towards pension. In the event, however, of such
persons agreeing to serve in a lower grade till vacancies
offer, they shall be entitled to reckon such service towards
the pension of the higher grade after it has been attained.
10. The sum of XI shall be allowed annually as enrol-
ment money, which shall be issued to the persons compos-
ing the Reserve Force, in equal quarterly payments in ad-
vance on the Ist April, Ist July, Ist October, and let
January, or at the period of being called out for training, as
may be considered most expedient by the Secretary of
Staa for War , but before these payments, the officer by
whom they are made is to satisfy himself that each man is
possessed of one pair of boots, two shirts, two pair of socks,
and a stock, as also that all fines for misconduct or absence
during the previous trainings have been settled.
11, Every person in this Reserve Force shall receive a
tunic, a pair of trowsers, and a cap, on the first and each
succeeding seventh year of his enrolment, and be entitled
to the same rates of pay and allowances when called out
for training, exercise, or service, as are fixed for correspond-
ing ranks in the Infantry of the Line, with the addition of
such amount of good-conduct pay as the enrolled man was
in receipt of at the time of his discharge.
12 While serving with a Regiment or Depot all Or-
isons belonging to this Reserve Fcrco shall be liable to the
same punishments and penalties for offences as are pra-
scribed by the Mutiny Act, and Articles of War for her
Majesty's other Forces ; but, when serving with the En-
rolled Pensioners,
.minor offences may be punished by the
fines ani penalties authorised for that Force.
