§ LORD GEORGE HAMILTONsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is true that a fresh Contract, commencing 21st July, to supply Forage for the Camp at Alder-shot, has been given to the firm who were unable to keep their original Contract from the 1st May to 31st October?
§ MR. CARDWELLsaid, in reply, that it was true that a firm which had made a previous contract with the Government, with permission, on giving a month's notice, to give it up, had tendered again, and, as it was the lowest tender, the War Office accepted it.
