COLONEL DUNNE, who had given notice of his intention to call the attention of the House to the mutiny of European troops in the Indian army, and a demand for a bounty upon re-enlistment, said, that he had understood from the Secretary of State for India that it would not be for the interest of the public service that any discussion upon this subject should take place at the present moment, and therefore he was willing to defer the remarks which he had to make upon it.
§ SIR CHARLES WOODsaid, that the House must appreciate the course which the hon. and gallant Gentleman had taken in this matter. The question was in the hands of the Indian Government, in communication with the Commander-in-Chief in India; and he was of opinion that the interest of the public service required that until their decision had been given no opinion should be pronounced upon it in that House.
