MAJOR JERVISsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, Whether he has approved of the Minute of he Governor General in Council limiting he consideration of the claims of Officers of the late Indian Army, in respect of 1939 monies subscribed by them for the purpose of stimulating promotion, to such sums as they may have paid in the rank held by them in 1861?
§ SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTEsaid, in reply, that a despatch had been received, and would shortly be laid on the table, which would at once answer the hon. and gallant Member's Question, and render unnecessary the Motion of which he had given notice, as it would show that the Indian Council meant to adhere to Lord Cranbourne's letter of the 8th of August.
