Billeting Soldiers
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Billeting soldiers, finding quarters for them. This is regulated by Part III. Of the (English) Army Act, which replaces the Annual Mutiny Acts. See ARMY. In case of emergency it may be extended to the (English) Navy; see the Naval Billeting, etc., Act, 1914 (4 & 5 Geo. 5, c. 70).
Billeting on any inhabitant of the realm without his consent is illegal by 3 Car. 1, c. 1, and other Acts, but s. 102 of the Army Act annually suspends these Acts, and s. 104 obliges constables to provide billets. s. 104 subjects all innkeepers, etc., to the billets, and exempts private houses. The accommodation to be provided is very precisely laid down by s. 106 and Schedule II., as amended from time to time; the maximum remuneration is fixed by the Army Annual Act, which is passed every year. See Chitty's Statutes, tit. 'Army.'
