HC Deb 26 June 1884 vol 289 c1411
MR. BIGGAR

asked the Secretary of State for War, If it is a fact that Major Stewart, the Adjutant of the Royal South Down Rifles, at present undergoing their annual drill at Downpatrick, reported Captain Wallace for insubordination; whether the Colonel of the Regiment (Waring) stated to the Adjutant that, if he would press for a court martial, all the officers of the Regiment would resign, and in consequence no trial of Captain Wallace took place; and, whether it is a, fact that both officers and men have disputed with Major Stewart as Adjutant of the Regiment?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

A telegram has been received from the officer commanding the regimental district in which all the allegations in question are distinctly denied.
