COLONEL NAGHTEN

asked the Secretary of State for War, If he will take into his consideration the retiring pensions of the Staff Sergeants of Militia, who, after twenty years' service, only receive the same amount as Drummers, viz., five pence a-day, whereas up to the year 1852 Sergeants had one shilling a-day on discharge?

MR. GATHORNE HARDY

, in reply, said, that it was his intention to refer that question to the Committee sitting on Army Pensions, so that they might go into that question also, and he hoped to receive a report on the subject.
