§ MR. VANSITTARTsaid, he would beg leave to ask the right hon. Baronet when the compensation for losses sustained during the late mutiny would be given?
§ SIR CHARLES WOODsaid, that it had been notified in The Calcutta Gazette of the 29th of October that a Commission had been appointed to conduct the inquiry, and register the claims of those who demanded compensation. Their decision would be final, and they were bound to conclude their inquiry within four months from a given date in November. Upon their award a date would be fixed for payment. The probability was that compensation would be made about the month of May next.
