HC Deb 24 March 1873 vol 215 c14
LORD CLAUD HAMILTON

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he will take into his consideration the propriety of granting to Militia Adjutants in Ireland the same allowance for a servant as that allowed to Sub-Inspectors of Constabulary?

MR. CARDWELL

Sir, Before 1859 Adjutants of Militia received no allowance for servants; but since the Report of the Royal Commission they have received the same allowance as officers of the Army and Adjutants of Volunteers. It is not intended to make any difference between them.
