§ MR. BRUENsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, When the Bonus Committee sitting in India are likely to come to a settlement of claims to compensation made by Officers in the late East India Company's Army?
§ SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTE, in reply, said, several Committees were sitting upon this subject. Inquiries had to be made into the particulars of each case, and in a great number of instances an award had been made of the sums payable to the Officers. As fast as the awards were made the money awarded was paid over to those entitled to receive it.
