HC Deb 30 July 1831 vol 5 c566
Mr. Hunt

begged the right hon. Gentleman at the head of the Admiralty to inform him, if an appointment vacant by the decease of one of the Commanders of his Majesty's Steam Vessels from Calais to Ostend had been filled up from the supernumerary list or not?

Sir James Graham

hoped to be able to answer the hon. Member's question on Tuesday next.

Mr. Hunt

understood the Chief Mate of the vessel was an officer of twenty-five years' standing, and ought not to have a younger officer put over his head.
