§ MR. RAIKESasked the Secretary of State for War, Why the Royal Flintshire Rifle Militia are still without the supply of breechloading rifles promised to be delivered to them at the end of 1870; and, whether it is intended to supply them with all convenient despatch?
§ MR. CARDWELL, in reply, said, some had been already distributed, and he hoped shortly the corps would receive the remainder. The delay had arisen in consequence of the Department having been so much occupied of late.
