III. That both the superintending, as well as the ordinary Constables, be bound to assist (when called upon by an express order from the Vice-Chancellor to that effect) in putting down any breach of the peace or disturbance in the day-time, and in preserving order at the Commemoration, or any other public Academical celebrity.

IV. That each Constable, upon taking the oath of office, be furnished with a printed copy of the Rules to be observed by him in the discharge of his duty.

VI. That several stations and rounds for the Constables be established, subject to such alterations as experience may suggest.
