§ SIR JOHN PAKINGTONsaid, he wished to ask the Secretary of the Admiralty, Whether it is true, as stated in the United Service Gazette of January 21st, that the Assistant Surgeon of H.M.S. The Queen was refused a cabin at a time when four cabins were vacant, and whether, if the statement is true, any notice has been taken of it by the Board of Admiralty?
§ LORD CLARENCE PAGETsaid, the Admiralty had no intelligence of this transaction having taken place, and he sent to-day a telegraphic message to Portsmouth, where The Queen was at the time, and the answer returned was that they knew nothing about it there.
