Discharge
« on: Wednesday 21 November 18 11:51 GMT (UK) »
One of my wife's relatives was discharged from 4th Battalion Royal Lancaster Regiment in 1893. He was discharged under paragraph 178 (d) Militia Regulations. Does anyone know what paragraph 178 (d) says.

I have found the Militia Act b1882 - but unfortunately this doesn't match section to paragraph.  Presumably the Regulations derived from Militia Acts, but I haven't found them yet.  I'll keep looking.

Doesn't answer your query directly but paragraph 178 (d)  is likely to have been one of a list of reasons for discharge similar to those in Kings Regulations 1912.  http://military-researcher.co.uk/KingsRegs1912/para-11.html
The paragraph on its own gives little away.  There were a multitude of offences that could be classified as misconduct including drunkenness, striking a superior, abuse of a superior, sexual misconduct etc.  One needs to see his conduct sheet to see what, of the many possibilities, led to his commander selecting that particular sub paragraph for his discharge.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
