§ MR. STAPLETONasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether, in the event of purchase being abolished, Officers will still be allowed to give or receive money on exchanging from one Regiment to another, or from or to Half-pay?
§ MR. CARDWELL, in reply, said, there was no intention on the part of the Government to permit officers to give or receive money in exchanging from one regiment to another or from or to half-pay. The Army Regulation Bill was meant to prohibit all pecuniary transactions connected with the Army.
