HC Deb 17 June 1861 vol 163 c1170
SIR ARTHUR BULLER

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, in reference to the Registered List of Officers of the Bombay Army serving in Bengal who have been recommended for brevet majorities on attaining the rank of regimental Captains, Why those officers of the Bombay Army now serving in the Bombay Presidency, and who have been equally recommended for the same reward, have not also been publicly registered?

SIR CHARLES WOOD

was understood to say that, in order to entitle an officer to the distinction in question, it was necessary that he should be recommended by the Commander-in-Chief in India, and that it had been conferred only on two Officers who had been so recommended.
