§ SIR E. WATKIN (Hythe)I had intended to ask the Secretary of State for War with reference to that part of the Queen's Regulations of 1889, which specifies that
Officers are not interred with Military honours unless they are at the time of their decease on full pay, or employed on the Staff, or in the exercise of some Military command or office;whether General Sir William Jones, G.C.B. (who was in command in the capture of Delhi, the turning point of the great Mutiny, was, at the time of his decease, Colonel of the Duke of Connaught's Light Infantry, and 1276 in receipt of the pay of £1,000 a year; and whether he was therefore entitled to a Military funeral? At the request of the right hon. Gentleman I will postpone the question until to-morrow.
