In the 1757 Militia Act (George II) Parliamentdirected that militia regiments be re established, aftera period of dormancy, in the counties of E nglandand Wales.
It was realised from the outset that insufficientvolunteers could be persuaded to come forwardto serve in the ranks.
Accordingly, a form of conscr iption wasintroduced in which parish es would make
lists of adult males and hold ballots to choose some ofthem for compulsory service.
If the chosen men were unwilling to serve in person theywould be required to find other men to serve in their stead
as substitutes.
