§ MR. OLIVEIRAsaid, he would beg to ask whether it was the intention of Her Majesty's Government to extend to his gallant comrades—Colonel Lake, Major Teesdale, Captain Thompson, and Doctor Sandwith, the liberality which prompted the award of a pension to General Sir William Williams?
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONI am sure that the House will feel that such an 327 arrangement ought to be kept within very narrow limits, and in strict accordance with precedent. Now, there is no precedent whatever for the giving pensions to any others beyond the commanding officers on such occasions.
