MR. MARKHAM (Nottinghamshire, Mansfield)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that purchases of remounts have been made from a Captain Cane Hunt, a Cheltenham horse dealer, and that most of these horses were purchased by Captain Hunt at the Cheltenham and other repositories at prices varying from fifteen to thirty-one guineas, the average price being twenty-three guineas; and if he will state the number of horses purchased from this dealer, and the average price paid for the same.

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Lord STANLEY,) Lancashire, Westhoughton

No remounts have been purchased from the person mentioned.
