By an Act of the Legislature passed March 22, 1844, the enrolled militia are made subject to no active duty whatever, except for the choice of officers, or in case of insurrection, war, invasion, or to prevent invasion, or other public danger, or emergency; in which case, the governor and commander-in-chief is authorized and required to order out, from time to time, by draft or otherwise, as many of the militia as the necessity of the case may require. The enrolled militia consists, with the usual exemptions, of all ablebodied white male citizens, from 18 to 45 years of age. II. NEW HAMPSHIRE. GOVERNMENT.
