§ MR. ABEL SMITHasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is true that the Hertfordshire regiment of Militia is to be called out for training during the month of August, while harvest operations are going on?
§ MR. CARDWELLsaid, the day originally fixed for calling out the Hertfordshire Militia was the 13th of May; but on receipt of an invitation from the War Office for the regiment to join in the Autumn Manœuvres, the commanding officer answered that the regiment would be perfectly ready to do so. Upon that, 1813 permission was given to cancel the original arrangement, and to fix the time for a period corresponding to the Autumn Manœuvres.
§ MR. ABEL SMITHasked the right hon. Gentleman, whether he could state the day on which the regiment would be called out?
§ MR. CARDWELLThe Autumn Manœuvres commence on the 31st of August, and the regiment will probably be called out about the 14th of that month.
