§ MR. H. BARINGsaid, he wished to ask the hon. Gentleman the Under Secretary for War why the insignia of the Legion of Honour had not been distributed to those officers of the Crimean army who had been long since selected by General Codrington for that decoration?
§ MR. FREDERICK PEELsaid, a selection of the men belonging to the British army who were to receive the decoration had been made; and as soon as the Imperial decree containing their nomination appeared, and the insignia had been received from the French Government, steps would be taken for their distribution.
