[Footnote 535: Note 4 G, p. 535. By this law it was enacted, that if any
militia-man, who shall have been accepted and enrolled as a substitute,
hired man, or volunteer, before the passing of the act, or who shall
have been chosen by lot, whether before or after the passing of the act,
shall, when embodied, or called out into actual service, and ordered to
march, leave a family unable to support themselves, the overseers shall,
by order of some one justice of the peace, pay out of the poor's rates
of such parish a weekly allowance to such family, according to the usual
and ordinary price of labour and husbandry there; viz. for one child
under the age of ten years, the price of one day's labour; for two
children under the age aforesaid, the price of two days' labour; for
three or four children under the age aforesaid, the price of three days'
labour; for five or more children under the age aforesaid, the price of
four days' labour; and for the wife of such militia-man, the price of
one day's labour; but that the families of such men only as shall be
chosen by lot, and of the substitutes, hired men, and volunteers already
accepted and enrolled, shall, after the passing of this act, receive any
such weekly allowance. For removing the grievance complained of in the
above petition, it is enacted, that where treasurers shall reimburse to
overseers any money in pursuance of this act, on account of the weekly
allowance to the family of any militia-man serving in the militia of any
county or place other than that wherein such family shall dwell, they
are to transmit an account thereof, signed by some justice for the place
where such family shall dwell, to the treasurer of the county, &c. in
the militia whereof such militia-man shall serve, who is thereupon to
pay him the sum so reimbursed to such overseers, and the same to be
allowed in his accounts.]
