He must always be mafier of the state of the Regiment.

He must have the young Officers inftructed in the foot exercise, marching, faluting, and every part of the drill; and he is charged with the formation of all Recruits on foot. He muft alfo attend the young Officers in exercifing small drills, for their instruction, and correct them when neceffary.

He must always be provided with a light, active, well-broke regimental horíe, which he must not change or fell without permiffion from the Officer commanding the Regiment.

His dress is that of an Officer in every respect, as he is one to all intents and purposes.

He is to attend all Regimental Courts Martials, and fee that every thing neceffary is prepared for them: alfo, that the proper crimes of prisoners are produced, and the evidence prefent, both those on the part of the profecution, and thofe for the prisoner. He must also take care to give prisoners proper warning of their approaching trial, and evidences proper notice to attend.

He muft, in the field, act as an Aid de Camp to the Commanding Officer.

He must always have his mufter-rolls completed as far as they can be, immediately after the 24th of December and 24th of June, fo as to be prepared for the mufter at a short notice.

PAY

PAY MASTER.

T Pay Mafter cannot be appointed till he has re

ceived the fanction of every Captain..

He draws all the pay of the Regiment (except that of the Officers), and he must be extremely particular in keeping his accounts in the molt clear and accurate manner.

He must keep a book to enter all orders that come to the Regiment relative to his department.

He must book in the moft regular manner the two-monthly regimental abstracts, the troop abftracts, diftributions, the half-yearly accounts, and the returns of escorts and bread-money; in fhort, every money tranfaction that he has on account of the Regiment with the Agents: and when a Pay Mafter gives up his Pay Mafterfhip, or quits the Regiment, the Commanding Officer for the time being muft take care that his books are left with the Pay Mafter that fucceeds him. They are, in fact, regimental not private books, and are always to remain with the Regiment, whether the accounts they contain have been fettled or not; of course he may take a copy of them with him, if he chufes.

When the Clerks meet the Pay Mafter at Head Quarters, on the 24th of every fettling month, he must compare his books with the Adjutant's regifter, and memorandum-books, in order to ascertain that all the broken periods of the preceding two months tally in both. At this comparison the Officer commanding the Regiment will attend, when the Pay Master's books must be ready for the faid Commanding Officer's infpection.

The Pay Master is not to admit any charge from the Clerks against the Colonel, without the tradesmen's bills

being produced to him, with receipts to them, figned by the tradefmen, and the bill certified to be just under the hand of the Officer commanding the troop. The Pay Mafter muft pay particular attention to the amount of their contingent bills, forming a judgment of them by a comparison with thofe paft; and if he thinks that any of them are too high, he must report it to the Officer commanding the Regiment: for, though the Colonel is perfectly inclined to be quite liberal towards his Regiment, it is the duty of the Commanding Officer to prevent any waste or want of œconomy, or any improper charge being made against him.

RIDING

RIDING MASTER.

HE Riding Mafter is the refponfible perfon to the Commanding Officer for the breaking of the re-mount horfes, and inftructing the young Officers and Recruits in riding, and drilling them on horfeback. He is alfo the perfon principally to affift the Commanding Officer of the Regiment, and the Officer commanding each Troop, in keeping up the riding of the Regiment in general.

He must inform himself of course in every particular of the Standing Orders of the Regiment, because he will always be acting in a double capacity; for no person will be allowed to act as Riding Mafter to the Regiment, who does not hold a Commiflion or Warrant in it.

He is to receive Seven Guineas for teaching an Officer to ride, and breaking his horfe: for breaking a horfe, without teaching to ride, he is to receive Two Guineas.

He muft abfolutely take the greatest pains with the inftruction of young Officers, and, indeed, all the Officers who attend the riding-school; because it is full as effential for the difcipline of the Regiment that the Officers should ride perfectly well, as that the men fhould.

He must adhere clofely to the inftructions for the ridingfchool, and horfe drills, which are in the Standing Orders, and to the principles there laid down. If he has any thing to propose which he thinks an improvement, he is to mention it to the Lieutenant Colonel of the Regiment, but not on any account to attempt to practife it without orders on the fubject from the Lieutenant Colonel.

He must take the greatest pains with Rough Riders, to make them complete horfemen, and horfe-breakers, alfo

good horfe drills: and in doing this, he muft teach them to give the words of command with great fpirit and fharpness; at the fame time infifting on their keeping their temper, and not fwearing or ufing improper language.

He must always be on the look-out in the Regiment for men to fupply the place of Rough Riders in case of a va

cancy.

He has authority to put any Serjeant or Corporal in arreft, or to confine any Trumpeter, Farrier, or Private. If he is an Officer, of course his authority extends according to the nature of his commiffion.

Whenever the Regiment affembles in the fpring, he is to inform the Commanding Officer what Money is due to him and the Rough Riders for teaching Officers, or breaking their horfes, which the Commanding Officer will order to be paid to him and them.
