§ MR. KINNAIRDsaid, he rose to ask the Secretary of State for India, how far the claims of Mr. T. H. Kavanagh upon the Government of India for important services rendered during the Mutiny of 1857 and 1858, evidencing, as those services did, great zeal, intelligence, and courage, and exposing Mr. Kavanagh to great personal risks, has been acknowledged by the Government?
§ SIR CHARLES WOODsaid, that Mr. Kavanagh had been appointed to a much higher situation than that which he held at the time he performed the services referred to, he had received the Yictoria Cross, and had been allowed to come home upon furlough with half-pay, an advantage which had not been allowed in any other case.
§ Moved,—That the House at its rising do adjourn till Monday,
