said, he would beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, Whether he will lay upon the table a List of Officers who have been seconded or made supernumerary in the Indian Artillery because of employment in miscellaneous Staff appointments, in conformity with the Despatch of the Secretary of State for India, No. 61, dated February 29, 1864, which was concurred in by the Secretary of State for War and his Royal Highness the Field Marshal Commanding-in-Chief; and, in the event of the Instructions therein contained not having been carried into effect, will he give the reasons for delay in obtaining them?

said, in reply, that the papers referred to by the hon. Member would appear in the Gazette in a few days, and, therefore, he did not think it would be necessary to lay them upon the table. The change which had taken place was consequent upon a long correspondence between the Home Government and the Government of India.
