§ MR. CRAUFURDasked the Secretary of War whether any and what alteration was to be made in the present Law relating to the Billeting of Soldiers and Marines?
GENERAL PEELsaid, that it would be in the recollection of those hon. Members who took part in the proceedings of the Billeting Committee of last Session, that he stated it would be impossible to make any alteration until the Mutiny Bill of the present year—the allowances to the publicans being fixed by the Mutiny Bill. It was his intention in the next Mutiny Bill to propose that, instead of 1½d., the remuneration to the innkeeper should be 4d. per man; and he should also endeavour to carry out, as far as possible, the recommendations of the Committee.
