HC Deb 14 July 1874 vol 220 c1624
MR. WHALLEY

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether, having regard to the result of the inquiry into the case of the "Narcissus," it is intended to restore Admiral Wilmot to the position he held previous to the accident to Her Majesty's ship "Agincourt?"

MR. HUNT

, in reply, said, he failed to see what the result of the inquiry into the case of the Narcissus had to do with the accident which had occurred to the Agincourt. He might, however, state that, in order to restore Admiral Wilmot, it would be necessary to supersede the officer on whom his command had been conferred, and that he had no intention of superseding that officer for the purpose of restoring Admiral Wilmot.
