§ MR. DIXONsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether an Order for Rifles has been received from the Indian authorities; and, if so, for how many; supposing such an Order to have been received, whether it is the intention of the War Office to allow the Rifles to be made at the Government Factory at Enfield or by the Gun Trade of the Country; and, if Guns made at Enfield for the Colonies and India are charged at the actual cost price, or whether a per centage is put on?
§ MR. CARDWELLsaid, in reply, that it was intended to order 10,000 Sniders, and 1,200 arms of other classes for India, to be supplied from the gun factories of London and Birmingham.
