LORD J. JOICEY-OEOIL () Lincolnshire, StamfordI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he has had under his consideration the cases of hardship inflicted on adjutants of the disbanded Militia battalions, some of whom, having been appointed just prior to the issuing of the Order for disbandment, have incurred great and apparently unnecessary expense; and what steps he proposes to take.
§ MR. HALDANEDuring the last twelve months six adjutants have been appointed to Militia battalions which have since been disbanded. Two of these officers have been re-appointed to other battalions, and as far as possible the wishes of the remaining officers will be favourably considered.
