§ MR. M'COANasked the Secretary of State for War, Why the annual training of the Wicklow Militia Artillery has been put off until August, when the service of most of the men of the Brigade will be needed for harvest labour; and, whether such postponement has any re- 31 lation to the convenience of Lieutenant Colonel Bayley, whose vacation as a Land Sub-Commissioner will then take place?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON, in reply, said, the date of training was fixed on the recommendation of the General Officer. There was not time enough to get information to enable him to answer the second part of the Question.
