LORD BURGHLEYsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Why, when all other regiments serving in India have been relieved at the end of ten years, the 27th Inniskillings and the 35th Royal Sussex are still in India unrelieved, after nearly twelve years' service, the for- 378 mer having landed in India on the the 12th of October, 1854, and the latter on the 14th of November in the same year?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON,in reply, said, the 27th and 35th regiments were to come home from India in 1867–8. The reason why they stood on the roster below regiments which had been in India a shorter time was because their last foreign service was less than that of those regiments, while their last home service was twice as long.
