§ MR. HUNTER (Aberdeen, N.)asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether a contract for 500,000 cartridges for Queensland has been given to a German who has no manufactory, and will have to set one up before he can make cartridges?
§ THE SURVEYOR GENERAL OF THE ORDNANCE (Mr. NORTHCOTE) (Exeter)(who replied) said: No, Sir; that is not the case. The contract has been given to a well-known English firm.
