§ COLONEL LOYD (Chatham)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty if it is a fact that when the Royal Marines are at sea their officers are not allowed to sit on Courts Martial for the trial of their own men; and, if so, would he explain on what grounds?
SIR U. KAY-SHUTTLEWORTH; The hon. and gallant Member was good enough to write me a letter on this subject, and it has been referred to the proper quarter in the Admiralty, whose opinion has not yet reached me.
§ VISCOUNT CRANBORNEWhen does the right hon. Gentleman think it probable he will be able to answer the question?
