After the muster, he is to compare his roll with that of the mustering-clerk, and if any disagreement should be found, an investigation must take place without delay, to ascertain the cause of the discrepancy and to correct the error. The rolls kept by check-officers, when filled, are to be returned by them to the Commandant's office, and there filed for reference.
