§ In reply to Captain G. E. PRICE,
§ MR. HUNTsaid, that Captain Harvey received £1,000 from the Admiralty in recognition of the intelligence and ability he had displayed in bringing his invention into an efficient state. The amount had no reference to Captain Harvey's expenditure in the matter. His invention has been adopted in the Service; but the Admiralty did not obtain any exclusive right to the invention. Captain Harvey's torpedoes had been manufactured in this country for foreign Governments, and it was not intended to award any further sum to him. £15,000 had been paid by the Government to the inventor of the fish torpedo for the secret of his invention and the sole right of manufacturing it in this country.
