§ SIR EDMUND COMMERELL (Southampton)asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, If there are any ironclads available to take the place in the manœuvres of the Ajax and Devastation disabled by collision?
§ THE FIRST LORD (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON) (Middlesex, Ealing)My hon. and gallant Friend will be gratified to hear that the damage to the Devastation and the Ajax by the recent collision is proved to have been much loss than was anticipated. They have both been repaired, and have rejoined the Squadron to which they are attached.
