HC Deb 27 June 1872 vol 212 cc286-7
MR. CALLAN

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether Lieutenant Tribe, of the 9th Lancers, is still excluded from the society of his brother officers; and, if so, what steps it is proposed to take to give effect to the decision of His Royal Highness Commanding-in-Chief, in the matter of the late inquiry into the alleged charges against that officer?

MR. CARDWELL

A further complaint from Sub-Lieutenant Tribe's "friend," Dr. Tomkins, has been addressed to me, and, being a matter of discipline, has been placed under the consideration of the Duke of Cambridge, who has determined to institute an inquiry into all the circumstances of the case by officers of the Staff at headquarters.
