§ SIR JOHN TRELAWNYsaid, he would beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, Whether Lieutenant General Lord de Ros, having accepted the appointment of Colonel of the 4th Hussars, will continue to hold the post of Deputy Lieutenant of the Tower.?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONsaid, in reply, that Lord de Ros would continue to hold the appointment of deputy lieutenant of the Tower, although he had been appointed colonel of the 4th Hussars. It was not necessary that he should enter into an explanation of the circumstances, but he might state that Lord de Ros was appointed to the Tower before the rule was laid down by which it was declared that in future officers should not hold two such appointments together. In the case of a gallant general (General Bowles), who had been deputy constable of the Tower, precisely the same rule had been acted upon.
