COLONEL M'CALMONTI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War why the bonus of £100 given to officers of Militia regiments on disembodiment instead of mess allowance is to be withheld from adjutants and quartermasters.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThis gratuity is given on disembodiment to all officers sent back to civil life after a period of temporary employment. There are no grounds for giving it to officers who are continuously employed on full pay.
