§ MR. MACDONALDasked the First Lord of the Admiralty, If the Bill promised last year on Navy Discipline is to be introduced this Session; whether he has issued any instruction as to the use of the cat or flogging in the Navy; and, if he will lay a Copy of such instructions upon the Table of the House?
§ MR. W. H. SMITH,in reply, said, it was not intended to amend or to consolidate the law relating to Navy discipline this Session. Other Business before the House would prevent that being done. If the hon. Member would move for a Copy of the Instructions issued in July last as to the use of the cat in the Navy there would be no objection to produce them.
