HC Deb 27 April 1858 vol 149 c1800
LORD BURGHLEY

said, he wished to ask the Secretary for War whether the Government will make some allowance to the Captains of the sixteen disembodied regiments of Militia to compensate them for the losses they must sustain by their not being able to recover the debts from their Companies in consequence of their regiments being suddenly disembodied?

GENERAL PEEL

said, it was his intention to follow the precedent set in former cases on this subject, and he found that it was not the custom to make any allowance to Captains of disembodied Militia regiments to compensate them for the losses referred to.
