§ COLONEL FRENCHsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether he intends to call out the Irish Militia for training this year?
§ SIR JOHN PAKINGTON,in reply, said, he was sorry that he could not give the hon. and gallant Gentleman a decided answer to his Question. In the Estimates a sum was taken for the Irish militia; but the period of the year at which they assembled for training was generally later than that at which the English militia were called out for the purpose, and no time had yet been fixed for calling them out this year.
