§ MR. NEATEsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether he has made any inquiry into the circumstances to which he had drawn his attention the other day, of the Household Brigade being kept out in the heat on Wormwood Scrubs from eight in the morning until half past two o'clock in the afternoon, the result being that seven men had to be carried off the ground in vans, and seven or eight others had to be sent to the Hospital?
§ SIR JOHN PAKINGTONsaid, in reply, that he had made inquiries, and that he had been unable to obtain any confirmation of the rumour.
§ In answer to Mr. OTWAY,
§ SIR JOHN PAKINGTONsaid, that the story of a number of the household cavalry having had to be sent home in cabs, and taken into the hospital after the field-day at Wormwood Scrubs on Tuesday week, was, so far as he could ascertain, without foundation.
