§ MR. FINLAYsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether he is aware that several Volunteer Corps have not yet received any part of the capitation money voted to them by the House for the years 1866 and 1865, and only a portion of the money voted for the year 1864; and, whether he can state the cause of the delay, and when these Corps may expect to receive the sums due to them?
§ SIR JOHN PAKINGTONsaid, he was happy to say he had reason to believe that the hon. Member had been led into error. He (Sir John Pakington) was informed that all the money due for 1864 had been paid. Of that for 1865 a balance of £200 remained to be paid to-morrow. No part of the money for 1866 had been 1295 paid; but from the information which he had received it appeared that this was solely owing to the fact that the money had not been applied for in the usual form.
