VOLUNTEER ACT AMENDMENT.
This Act, which has passed both Houses, was introduced by Major Atkinson. The purpose is set forth in the preamble thus: —Whereas in certain cases real or personal property is held by trustees or others on behalf of persons who were volunteers in a corps which has been disbanded, but there being no reliable records now in existence of the names of those who were members of such corps when they were so disbanded, and the addresses of many of such members being now unknown, it is impossible for such trustees or other persons to deal with such property without incurring considerable personal risk and responsibility ; And whereas other like cases may from time to time occur, where the persons entitled to such property, or some of them, are either unknown or cannot be found, or where thsre are no trustees of such property, or other circumstances exist which prevent such property being realized or disposed of, and it is therefore desirable to provide a means for dealing with such property. The act of course gives the necessary provisions. It is confined to this particular matter, and has no reference to the general regulations of the service.
