§ MR. BIGGARasked the Secretary of State for War, When the present Adjutant of the Antrim Artillery was appointed to that regiment; whether it is a fact that since his appointment the Commanding Officer has been in the habit of incorrectly certifying that the Adjutant kept a horse, thereby enabling him to draw forage allowance; and, whether it is a fact that it is only within the last few weeks that this Officer has been in temporary possession of a horse?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONSir, Captain Robilliard was appointed Adjutant of the Antrim Artillery Militia on the 5th of September, 1880. With regard to the hon. Member's further inquiries, I should say that as the question involves a matter of discipline, it has been referred to the Adjutant General for investigation.
