CAPTAIN JERVISsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, When he will lay upon the table of the House the proposed plan for redressing the grievances of the Officers of the late Indian Army?
§ SIR CHARLES WOODsaid, in reply, that much greater delay had occurred in this matter than he had expected. A great many minute details had to be considered; but he would take care that the interests of the Officers should not suffer. Last week His Royal Highness the Field Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, the Secretary of War, and himself had a meeting, at which they finally arranged what was to be done. The necessary Warrant would have to be submitted to the Queen, and that would take some time, at least a few days, and as soon as the Warrant was signed it should be laid upon the table. Not one moment should be lost more than was absolutely necessary.
