§ GENERAL BUCKLEYsaid, he rose to ask the Under Secretary for War, Whether the Volunteer Corps that propose to go to Brighton for a Review on Easter Monday have received the sanction of the authorities for that purpose?
MR. T. G. BARINGsaid, in answer to his hon. and gallant Friend, that the Secretary of State for War had not objected to the assembly of the Volunteers at Brighton on Easter Monday, proposed by Lord Ranelagh. It would, however, be necessary for the several corps who proposed to take part in this field-day to obtain the consent of the Lord Lieutenant of the county in which the review was to take place. The Secretary of State for War would take the same course as that adopted at the Volunteer Review at Chislehurst last year, and request His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief to send a general officer to watch the proceedings and report the result.
