§ SIR G. OSBORNE MORGAN (Denbighshire, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the vacancy in the office of Judge Advocate General has been or will be filled up, or what arrangement has been made for the discharge of the duties attached to that office; and in what way it is proposed in such arrangement to deal with the immemorial right of the officers and soldiers of Her Majesty's Forces to have the findings and sentences of Courts Martial submitted to the Judge Advocate General personally for examination and revision?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. CAMPBELL - BANNERMAN,) Stirling, &c.A Judge of the High Court of Justice, the Right Hon. Sir F. Jeune, has-been appointed Judge Advocate General, without salary. This appointment is in accordance with the recommendation of the Select Committee of 1888 on Army Estimates. As a matter of fact, only very important cases have in the ordinary course been brought before the Judge Advocate General personally, the others being dealt with by the Deputy Judge Advocate General; and those cases will still be dealt with by that officer.
