§ General Grosvenoradverting to the signal instance of bravery evinced by a gallant relation of the noble lord opposite to him at Benevente, where at the head of some pickets of British cavalry, he attacked and defeated a body of the enemy's horse, wished to know if so signal an exploit was not deserving of particular mention in the thanks of the house.
Lord Castlereaghsaid, that however brilliant the conduct of his gallant relation had been upon the affair to which the honourable general alluded, it would be departing from the uniform usage of parliament to thank individual officers for actions with detachments.
