Sec. 107. Militia.

A brigade is formed in each county of the state, (excepting the county of Cape May,) comprising all the militia of the county, with the exception of the cavalry. In the county of Cape May, the militia are organized into an independent regiment.

The brigades are formed into four divisions. The brigades of Burlington, Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland, and the regiment of Cape May, constitute the first division. The brigades of Bergen, Essex, and Morris, constitute the second division. The brigades of Somerset, Middlesex, and Monmouth, constitute the third division.
