§ MR. W. EWARTsaid, he would beg to ask the President of the Board of Control what reinforcements are going, or preparing to be sent out, to India?
LORD STANLEYsaid, he had no doubt the House would be glad to learn that between last January and the present time nearly 17,000 troops had been despatched from this country to India. With regard to the future it would probably be enough for him to state that Her Majesty's Government were well aware of the great importance of striking a decisive, and if possible, a final blow in the course of the approaching cold season, and that they were prepared to take measures, with that object.
