§ MR. MAGUIREdrew attention to a statement in The Limerick Chronicle, to the effect that fifty-seven men of the 741 Limerick Artillery Militia, who had accepted the offer of an immediate discharge, had had their regimentals taken from them, and had been dismissed with only 6d. each; that they had arrived in Limerick almost naked; and that they said they had been obliged to sleep in the open air, not having money to pay for their lodgings. If that was true, he wished to know whether those men would have the sum paid to them to which they would have been entitled if they had stayed with their regiment?
§ MR. FREDERICK PEELhad already answered the question in the reply he bad given to the noble Lord the Member for Tyrone. He was not aware of the circumstance alluded to by the hon. Member, but the men would receive all they would have been entitled to had they waited till their regiment was disbanded.
