§ MR. NAGHTENasked the Secretary of State for War, If, inasmuch as Adjutants of Militia have been gazetted to the rank of Captains in the Army, their widows are entitled to pensions?
MR. GATHORNE HARDYSir, those officers who have been so gazetted have received temporary rank while serving in the Militia, in order to give them due authority over the soldiers. As, however, they are not in the Army, their widows are not entitled to pensions.
§ MR. NAGHTENthereupon gave Notice that he would, on an early day, call the attention of the House to the position of Adjutants of Militia, and move a Resolution on the subject.
