§ MR. MUNDELLAasked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether Hobart Pasha, who is engaged in active warfare against a friendly Power, retains his rank and pay as a British officer?
§ MR. A. F. EGERTON,in reply, said, no answer had been received from Captain Hobart to the intimation which had been sent him that he must elect between remaining in the Turkish or the British Service. As the time which had since elapsed was sufficiently long to admit of an answer having been re- 1949 ceived to that intimation, and no such answer had reached the Admiralty, Captain Hobart's name had been struck off the list of the British Navy.
§ MR. MUNDELLAsaid, that in consequence of the information he had now received, he would not proceed with the Motion on this subject.
