§ MAJOR ARBUTHNOTasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether, considering the dissatisfaction expressed through the medium of the medical, military, and other organs of the press, and in other ways, by Officers of all grades in the Army Medical Department, with the terms and probable operation of the Medical Warrant recently issued, he will take into consideration the advisability of recommending changes and modifications in that Warrant, such as may appear calculated to render it more acceptable to the Medical Service?
§ MR. CARDWELLSir, an unavoidable delay has occurred in gazetting the promotions consequent upon the recent Warrant—which, however, appeared yesterday—and also in making the appointments to the new Brigade Depôts. 1300 Now that the promotions have appeared, I expect that, as soon as the appointments to the Brigade Depôts shall have been made, the misunderstandings which have undoubtedly prevailed will be removed or greatly modified. If it shall appear upon a proper representation that any grievance remains, it will be duly taken into consideration with a view to explanation, or, if necessary, to alteration.
