§ SIR JOHN TRELAWNYmoved—
That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, that She will be graciously pleased to give directions that there be laid before this House Copies of all Reports of the Inspectors General of Infantry and Cavalry, since the appointments of those Officers.
§ SIR JOHN RAMSDENopposed the Motion, on the ground that the reports were of a confidential character, in which consisted their entire value.
§ SIR JOHN TRELAWNYwas in the hands of the House, and would certainly persevere in his Motion if any disposition were shown for a division.
§ SIR WILLIAM CODRINGTONapproved the reason given by Sir J. Ramsden against the production of the reports.
§ MR. P. O'BRIENrecommended the withdrawal of the Motion, as he did not think that the House was competent to decide upon military questions.
§ Motion, by leave, withdrawn.
