HC Deb 08 May 1860 vol 158 c883
MR. TORRENS

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, What were the grounds for the removal of Brigadier Innes from his command as Brigadier at Ferozepore, in May, 1857, after the perfect approbation of the Commander-in-Chief had been conveyed, in the Adjutant General's Letter of the 19th of the same month, to that Officer, for the judgment, vigour, and decision with which he had acted at the commencement of the Mutiny in Bengal?

SIR CHARLES WOOD

said, he was not quite sure that that was a proper question to be put in the House of Commons; but his answer was that the Indian Government had thought it right, for the interest of the Queen's service, that that Officer should be removed.
