HC Deb 25 June 1877 vol 235 cc254-5

Supply—considered in Committee.

(In the Committee.)

£48,600, Divine Service.

CAPTAIN NOLAN

urged the hardship of the position of Senior Chaplains, who were obliged to retire at 60 years of age without full pensions.

MR. GATHORNE HARDY

said, that though many persons who had to retire at 60 felt that they were still fit for work, the thing should not be looked upon in that way only; it should be looked upon also with reference to those below. Unless that was done, there could be no flow of promotion.

Vote agreed to.

Resolution to be reported.

Motion made, and Question proposed, That a sum, not exceeding £27,500, be granted to Her Majesty, to defray the Charge for the Administration of Military Law, which will come in course of payment from the 1st day of April 1877 to the 31st day of March 1878, inclusive.

SIR COLMAN O'LOGHLEN

said, it was now five minutes to 1 o'clock, and there being 32 Orders of the Day on the Paper to be disposed of, he objected to any more Votes being taken. He would therefore move that the Chairman report Progress.

Motion agreed to.

Resolution to be reported To-morrow, at Two of the clock.

Committee also report Progress; to sit again upon Wednesday.
