Sir, — Alexandra, 13th February, 1865. I have the honor to represent to y-ou, that it is necessary that I should be empowered to call out for training and exercise, or for actual service, the men of the AVaikato Militia, who have been placed in possession of their land and struck off pay. I propose that these men should muster once a month, to check their absence from the district, and for the inspection of their arms and accoutrements ; and it is possible that circumstances may arise requiring all the available men to be called out for actual service at a moment's notice, but accordiug to the conditions of service, a AVaikato Militiaman can ouly be called upon in the manner provided by the Militia Act for other Militiamen. I have, &c, T. M. Haultain, The Hon. Minister for Colonial Defence. Commanding AVaikato Militia. No. 6. Copy of a Letter from the Undee Secretary to Colonel Haultain. grE _ Taranaki, 22nd February, 1865. I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 13th inst., representing the necessity of empowering you to call out for training and exercise, or for actual service, men of the AVaikato Militia who have been placed on their land and struck off pay, and proposing that those men should muster once a month to check their absence from the district, and for inspection of their arms and accoutrements. I reply, I am directed by the Minister for Colonial Defence to inform you that, such of the Waikato Militia as are placed upon their land, although relieved from duty and struck off pa}-, are still upon active service and subject to the Mutiny Act and Articles of AVar, (from which, however, they will be relieved at the earliest possible moment.) Should, therefore, any sudden emergency arise your authority is quite sufficient, as Commanding Officer, to call upon any or all the men you may think
