MR. PRICEasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether, as a war medal is to be granted for the Ashantee Expedition, he is also prepared to recognize the claims of those who have served in previous expeditions on the Coast of Africa to a similar distinction?
MR. GATHORNE HARDY, in reply, said, he had not felt himself called upon to review the decision of his Predecessors on the subject to which the hon. Member's Question referred, and had confined himself solely to the recent Ashantee Expedition in advising a medal to be struck.
