§ CAPTAIN NORTON () Newington, W.I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether instructions were recently issued by the War Office, directing that Militiamen under eighteen years of age will be paid during embodiment at the rate fixed by Royal Warrant for boys in the Regular forces, namely, 8d. per day, whereas those affected by the order were all enlisted as men, were promised 1s. a day pay, and have been doing men's duty.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThere was some misapprehension on this subject at first; but instructions have been given to all general officers that Militiamen on embodiment are to have the full rate of 1s. a day.
