HC Deb 25 July 1859 vol 155 cc442-3

Order for Second Reading read.

MR. G. CLIVE

said, he would move the second reading of this Bill. He proposed to take any discussion which might be thought desirable in Committee.

MR. HENLEY

said, he should oppose the second clause.

COLONEL NORTH

said, that Major-General Cartwright, who was an Inspector-General of Police, was entitled to a salary of £700 a year, but in consequence of his having served in the army, and being in receipt of half-pay, a deduction of £200 a year was made from that amount. He wished to know whether it was intended to remedy this grievance.

SIR GEORGE LEWIS

replied, that a clause in the present Bill would enable officers of the police force to receive their full-pay in that capacity, as well as half-pay and pensions for military services.

Bill read 2°, and committed for Thursday.
