MILITIA ORDERS. 23d February 1805.
By His Excellency the Governor's Proclamation of the 16th Instant, it will be perceived, that the Amendment of the 27th Article of the Militia Regulations, now enables the Major Commandant to carry the Orders of Government into effect; which has not been heretofore in his Power; the Authority for enforcing the Penalties having been formerly vested in another Person.
A few Weeks will be allowed to the 5th 6th 7th 8th and 9th Companies, to Arm and Accoutre themselves, (according to the 17th Article of His Excellency's Proclamation), after which the Major Commandant will proceed to inspect them. Such individuals as shall then be found to have disregarded the Law, must be content to suffer its Penalties.
The Major or Officer Commanding the Stabroek Division, will cause correct Rolls of the Companies, to be given in by their Captains, on or before the 30th March; as soon after which as possible, the usual Parades &c. will be resumed.
All Persons not Specially Exempted by Law from Militia service, who have hitherto neglected to Enroll themselves, would do well to give in their names immediately; to any one of the Captains of the Stabroek Companies, as any further Evasion will most infallibly subject them to all Fines.
F. Macrae,
Major-Commandant,
Demerary Militia.
