MR. DEASEsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is his intention to appoint Deputy Commissary General Lundy to be a Deputy Controller over the present Assistant Controllers, whose Commissions in the Control Department are dated the 1st of January 1870; and, if so, whether such a step would not endanger the position of the Assistant Controllers, and be in contravention of Article 12 of the Royal Warrant, dated the 12th of November 1869?
§ MR. CARDWELLSir, on the first formation of the Department, Mr. Lundy I was appointed Acting Deputy Controller at Jamaica, to introduce the new system there. As the force in Jamaica is to be reduced, Jamaica will not be a Deputy Controller's station; but upon the occurrence of a suitable vacancy Mr. Lundy's services will be transferred to it, and his acting appointment rendered permanent.
