§ MR. DAVISONsaid, he would beg to ask the hon. Gentleman the Under Secretary for War whether the Government would be disposed to reconsider their decision with respect to an immediate disembodiment of the Irish militia, with the view of postponing such disembodiment until the approaching harvest, in order that the soldiers might thereby earn a temporary subsistence, and be induced to return to their ordinary avocations?
§ MR. FREDERICK PEELsaid, the Irish militia must be dealt with in the same way as those of Scotland and England. The course which it was intended to take was to disembody first the militia that were billeted, and afterwards those, that were encamped would follow. He lad no doubt, if the men were at their homes, that as much employment might be found for them at this season as any other.
