§ SIR HARRY VERNEYsaid, he would beg to ask the Under Secretary for War what number of Chaplains have been appointed to accompany the military force now proceeding to India?
§ SIR JOHN RAMSDENsaid, no Chaplains had been sent by the Government to accompany the forces proceeding to India, because it was never the custom to send them. The East India Company provided clergymen when the troops arrived in India; and he believed the stations in that country were amply supplied.
