§ GENERAL SHUTEasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether he will consider the advisability of extending to Serjeants whilst serving, the advantages of the "Good Conduct Warrant," which is granted to corporals and privates, as a reward for length of service, combined with good conduct, or whether he will propose any other scheme by means of which serjeants may receive increased remuneration in proportion to their very responsible and increasing duties, resulting from the short service Act, and the consequent much larger number of Recruits and young Soldiers?
MR. GATHORNE HARDY,in reply, said, that the position of Sergeants would occupy the attention of the War Department, but that Good Conduct Warrants did not apply to them, because it was through their good conduct that they were sergeants, and besides they were entitled to medals and pensions.
