§ MR. MONSELLsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether any reply has been received from Colonel Boxer to General Hay's remarks on the Snider ammunition; and, if so, whether that Reply is satisfactory, and whether it will be presented to the House?
§ SIR JOHN PAKINGTONsaid, that a reply had been received from Colonel Boxer to General Hay's remarks on the Snider ammunition, and that that reply was regarded by the War Office as quite satisfactory; but, nevertheless, in order to remove any objection on the part of General Hay a change had been made in the ammunition of the Snider guns, and he believed that General Hay thought that change a satisfactory one. He could not consent to lay General Hay's reply upon the table.
