COLONEL NORTH

said, he wished to ask the hon. Gentleman the Under Secretary fur war whether any decision had been come to in regard to the deductions of the income tax from the amount awarded as gratuity for wounds to those gallant officers who have returned home mutilated from the Crimea?

MR. F. PEEL

in reply said, that, in the first instance, the income tax had been deducted, but, on consideration, it had been decided that it should not be charged on these gratuities, and, in consequence of that determination, instructions had been given that the tax should not be deducted.
