CAPTAIN MILNE-HOMEasked the Secretary of State for War, What scale of pensions or compensation will be given to these Sergeant Majors in regiments of Yeomanry Cavalry who have acted as Adjutants, Quartermasters, and Paymasters, and who must shortly be superseded by officers on full pay from the Army?
§ COLONEL STANLEY,in reply, said, that no scale of pensions was laid down for the rank and file; but, inasmuch as it had been brought to his knowledge that some of these non-commissioned officers had been performing duties which ought to be discharged by officers of a higher rank, they would be superseded, and it was his intention to apply for special allowances for them. Otherwise they would receive only 3s. 3d. a-day.
