§ MR. FRESHFIELDasked the Secretary of State for War, Why the 84th Regiment, leaving for Ireland, this day, are to be moved, at great inconvenience and expense, to Sheerness instead of being embarked at Dover?
§ COLONEL STANLEYSir, the troops have been sent to the place where the Admiralty sent a vessel to embark them. I understand that the Admiralty do not think it advisable for a large transport vessel to be alongside Dover Pier at this time of year.
