要

Hon. Colonial Secretary,

1. Section 177 of the Army Act provides that that Act

applies to Colonial Volunteers only subject to the law of the local

legislature.

2.

Section 6 of Ordinance No. 4 of 1893 places Volunteers

who are on actual military service under the command of the

officers of His Majesty's regular forces only "subject to any regulations made under (the) Ordinance".

4.

Section II of the Ordinance seems to give a very wide

power of making regulations.

4. Regulation 7 of the Regulations of the 7th. March, 1912, provides that the corps is to be administered by the G.0.C. "under the general control of the Governor".

5. I therefore think that, subject to the provisions as to

discipline made by section 17 of the Ordinance, the Volunteers are

still under the control of the Governor and are still subject to

any relevant regulations made under the Ordinance.

6. It will be noticed that the obligation cast by section

12(2) of the Ordinance on volunteers who are on actual military

service is to perform such services as may be directed by the

Governer.

7. It will also be noticed that the Governor-in-Council can

at any time put an end to the period of actual military service;

see section 12(4).

8. It will not be forgotten that the Governor is in any case

Commander-in-Chief, and that all civil military officers must "be

obedient...........................

.....unto" him: see Article XVII of the Charter.
