§ MR. PULESTONasked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is contemplated to reorganise the Cavalry of the Line and abolish numerical distinctions; and, if so, whether it is convenient to give now to the House the particulars of the proposed change?
THE MARQUESS or HARTINGTON,in reply, said, he referred to this question at some length when introducing the Army Estimates, and he did not think it necessary now to repeat those statements. Speaking generally, he then said it was not intended at present to enter into any large field of re-organization of the Cavalry of the Line; but he also stated some measures which would be at once taken, in order to meet the necessities caused by drafts for India.
