§ SIR DE LACY EVANSsaid, he rose to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty the number of Marines and Sailors now on the China Stations?
§ LORD CLARENCE PAGETsaid, he must repeat an answer which had been given to a similar question that was put earlier in the Session. It would not be convenient for the public service to make any statement of the number of Marines and sailors in China, but he had no objection to give privately the information to the hon. and gallant Member.
