THE RESERVE FORCES IN NEW SOUTH WAIES . —In addition to a small permanent military force , and a number of partially paid Volunteer regiments , the colony possesses several purely volunteer corps forming a kind of reserve force . These reserve companies serve gratuitously , and are formed in places where the partially .

paid corps do not exist ; but they are connected by regimental organisation with the partially-paid corps . Each reserve corps receives an annual capitation allowance of £ 2 for every efficient officer and volunteer , subject , however , to the proviso that no claim to this allowance shall be admitted if at the commencement of the

year tbe corps so claiming shall have a less number of efficients than three-fifths of the authorised establishment of such corps . In that contingency the services of any such corps will be dispensed with , and all Government property iu their possession re-called . The capitation allowance is for the purpose of providing officers

commanding companies with the meanB of supplying uniform , and meeting expenses other than those connected with the issue of arms , accoutrements , ammunition , musketry stores , and instruction ; all

of whioh are furnished by the State . The financial afFairs of each corps are managed by a Committee of the officers , and two senior non-commissioned officers , and an annual balance-sheet has to be submitted to the Brigade Office at headquarters .
