§ MR. DENTasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he is aware that several Officers on full pay in Her Majesty's Regular Forces, as well as some Colonels in the Volunteer Service, also hold Commissions in the Yeomanry Cavalry; and, whether the restriction that no Commanding Officer of Volunteers shall hold at the same time two Commissions, or, if he does, one of them must be of a purely honorary character, is applicable also to the holding of Commissions in the Yeomanry Cavalry as well as the Volunteers?
§ MR. CARDWELLwas understood to say that some time since the practice of issuing two commissions to the same officers had been discontinued, and it was intended, within a very short time, to require officers who held two commissions to elect between them.
