ACTUAL MILITARY SERVICE.
12. (1) In case of great national emergency, or in case of actual or apprehended invasion of or attack on the Colony, or in case of serious local disturbance, the Governor may, by proclamation, call out any volunteer corps or any portion thereof for actual military service.
(2) Every officer and volunteer belonging to every corps or portion thereof so called out shall be bound to assemble at such place as may be directed by the Governor, and to perform such service as may be required under the orders of the General Officer Commanding the Troops.
(3) Every such officer and volunteer from the time of his corps being so called out shall, for the purposes of this Ordinance, be deemed to be on actual military service.

All officers and volunteers, when called out on actual military service by the Governor, shall be entitled to pay and allowances in like manner and after like rates and conditions, and to be quartered or billeted in like manner in every respect and under and subject to the same regulations, as His Majesty's regular forces, so far as the same may by the Governor in Council be deemed applicable to the volunteer corps.
