MR. H. BERKELEYsaid, he rose to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, Whether the Commanding Officer of the 18th Hussars has reported on Terry's Rifle, now served out to that regiment nearly two years?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON, in reply, said, there was no official Report 1527 in the Adjutant General's Office from the Colonel of the 18th Hussars upon the subject. But he understood that the Commanding Officer was highly satisfied with the carbine, with the exception of a trifling difficulty as to the blank ammunition. If it were used with a greased wad, it was somewhat dangerous; if without it, it was liable to foul.
