§ Bill, as amended, considered.
§ Amendment made.
§ SIR WALTER B. BARTTELOT (Sussex, N.W.), asked, whether his right hon. Friend (Mr. E. Stanhope) would let it be clearly understood that the Volunteers and the Yeomanry would remain under this Bill precisely in the same position as they now occupied?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. E. STANHOPE) (Lincolnshire, Horncastle)said, that the hon. and gallant Gentleman was quite right as regarded the Volunteers, who would not be in any way affected by this measure. The Bill, however, would enable the Yeomanry to be called out with the Militia, which would greatly add to the value of the force.
§ Bill read the third time, and passed.
