MR. CORRYasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether, in consequence 397 of the more intimate relations intended to be established between the Regular Army and the Militia, he will consider the propriety of admitting, by competitive examination, the sons of officers of the Militia to be educated at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, on the same terms as the sons of officers of the Line?
§ MR. CARDWELL, in reply, said, the advantages given to sons of officers in the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich are on account of the dangers to which their parents are exposed on foreign service, and he did not think it desirable to extend the same privilege to the sons of officers in the Militia.
