HC Deb 10 May 1855 vol 138 cc299-300
MR. OWEN STANLEY

I beg, Sir, to ask the hon. Under Secretary for War if the Commander in Chief has ordered any Court of inquiry to examine into the late transactions at Canterbury amongst the officers of the Inniskillen Dragoons, and the causes which led to a hostile meeting, or, as is reported, mock duel, between Cornets Baumgarten and Evans, in which Adjutant Webster and Sergeant Brodie were concerned, and if Sergeant Brodie has again been placed under arrest for any offence?

MR. FREDERICK PEEL

An officer appointed by the Adjutant General is making an investigation into the case referred to by the hon. Gentleman. I was not aware that the hon. Gentleman intended to put this question this evening, and therefore did not make myself master of the facts, but I hope to be able to answer the question to-morrow.
