§ MR. GROGANsaid, he would now beg to ask the Under Secretary of War—the Parliament having voted a sum of 400l. in the last Session for the establishment of Regius Professorships of Military Surgery in London, Dublin, and Edinburgh, what steps had been taken for the establishment of such professorships in London and Dublin, and when we might expect that such professors would be appointed?
§ MR. FREDERICK PEELsaid, there having already existed a Regius Professorship of Military Surgery in Edinburgh, it was proposed that the plan should be extended to London and Dublin. A Vote was taken last year, and would be renewed this year. A proposal had been made for assimilating the system adopted in the different colleges. He was not aware that it had been yet arranged, but he saw no reason why there should be any further delay, and therefore it was proposed that the matter should be disposed of as soon as possible.
