dismissed, the whole of his pay then due is forfeited.

Every man who is dismissed from the Establishment, or who
resigns his situation, delivers up, before he quits the
service, every article of dress and appointment which may
have been supplied to him; if any of such articles have
been, in the opinion of the superintendent, improperly used
or damaged, the man makes good the damage or supplies a new
article.

Every man in the service is liable to immediate dismissal
for unfitness, negligence, or misconduct. The Committee, if
they see fit, may dismiss a man without assigning any
reason.

No fireman must allow to be used by any other person, nor
use himself, except while he belongs to the Establishment,
the button and badge given with his clothes.

In the event of sickness rendering any man incapable of
performing his duties, the Committee reserves to itself the
power of making a deduction from his weekly pay.

Each man, on his admission, gives to the Committee, if
required, a letter of guarantee from some respectable
person, to an amount not exceeding 50_l._, as security.
