COLONEL NORTHsaid, he wished to inquire whether the fees payable in respect of the baronetcies conferred upon Generals Havelock and Wilson, and also upon the distinction about to be conferred upon the widow of General Neill, were to be paid by the country?
MR. WILSONsaid, that three years ago the rule was laid down that in the case of honours conferred upon officers of the two services for gallant deeds in the field, or in action, the fees should be paid by the public. That practice had been pursued during the Crimean war, and he had no doubt it would be followed in the present instance.
