GENERAL PEELSir, I have great pleasure in informing the House that Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to direct that a medal shall be given to all the troops engaged in the suppression of the mutiny in India, with the addition of a clasp to the captors of Delhi, and another to the defenders and relievers of Lucknow.
