MAJOR KNOXsaid, he wished to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, Whether any Field Allowances has been granted to the Officers and Men who have applied for them from Aldershot? The officers wore put to great inconvenience, and the men wore out their clothes in consequence of the frequent marchings of flying columns.
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON,in reply, said, as he had received no notice of the question of the hon. and gallant Member, he could not give a positive answer. His impression, however, was that field allowances were never granted unless when troops were before an enemy. He would, however, make inquiry.
