The Vic:tol'ia Pl'ovisionnl Battalion wa ... inspN·tod hy mo at Baddeck, on tho lth Jtily, 1871i. Thi · regiment i~ compos<'d for tht' mo ... t part of n fino body of men, who nre generally attentive uncl willing, but want a great <lenl ofpractico in battalion drill.

No. 5 Company wmi in1-1pocte<l by me at Sydney on the 6th July, lint owing to tho provalenco of a hell\')' storm of rain and wind, was <lismistic<l afte1· a fow move­ments.

Tho coll<lncL of the detachment, of this battalion that was c:1llod ont in ai<l of the civil l)owor, and proceeded under Lieut .. Colonel Heade's orders to protect pl'operty and life during the i;trikt• nt Sydney )fines, ba<l been already reported by mo, n.ncl favour­ably noticed in G011ernl Orders, and I can only again rnpeat my nppro\·nl of tho tact and goo<l judgment (li!:!played by Lieut.-Colonel Reade on this occnsion.

AK\fS.

I cannot rcfrai11 from again calling attention, aq in my report .. for 18'14 and 1875, to the necessity tn1· the armi; in posResRion of tho 1mveral corp~ in this District being intipccte<l and put in order by a competent armourer.

CLOTBlNO.

In the last ist:iucs of infantry trowsers made to ~e,·eral corp!i in thili District, the material waR very inferior and would not stand the wear and tc:u· that necessarily accompanies active service.

TRAnmw.

The rural battalions aro composed of a C'la'-s of men who aro Yery painstaking, and in good hands woul<l rapidly become efficient i thl'Y require officer.; and non­commisi;ioned ofli<'ers who C'an nnd will inslruet 1l1l'lll. Both otlicer.~ and men n.ro zealom;, but ottic•erl'\ hardly appenr to realise the ncc·c-.-.ity for prcliminnry reading up and prnctice ht>forc the ~innual training comml'llll' , ,.o Lhat they. mny oo nble to make the mo,..t of' the few dayi; training tha~ Gener:ll Orders prc--C'rrl>e for the m~n. In thc~c corp-., therefore, :.;trong necc~sity ex1~b, n;- I_ han nlready recommcmlod, for the preliminary training of officers and non-comm1"'s1on_ed ofticor"'.. .

In the City Brigade wlier'1 the drill is moro ~·ontrnuoul', olliccr:: m:.1kc a point of keeping up thl'it· drill. aml tho rc-.ult are crcd1tablc to them nncl ,..ati .. foctory to their com111andcr1S.

Now that th<• number of dn\·~ prc~cribed for 1l:·ill is ~o much reduced, nnd tho ?nys' pay is so mall, it become~ n. que,;tion whot her it would ~ot be expc<licnt to 1s~ue the amount n.s n cnpitation grant to tho comp:u1y, or <'Ol'J.'"· rnstead of u pny to the individunl-vt>ry few men, oven nt pre,cnt, join the forC'C ior tho a~e of lh_o pay, but there is littlo doubt that nrnnY rrood mon an' detcnod from helong1ng to it, Je..,t 1liey should lio snid to Jiu drilling: fur p=<y-and good as tho matol'inl of which tho Militia is at pre cnt composed may b~. it is ubYion-.ly dU; imhl<; to geL the n:iry he:,t that may J1e obtainable, :tnd remoVO any ou:-taclo>< that may hmdcr good lllOll from coming in.
