§ 31. Mr. GINNELLasked the Under Secretary of State for War whether, to restore confidence in the impartial ad ministration of the law, he will say if Mrs. Cornwallis West has been tried by court-martial for having tampered with military officers as other persons have been tried and punished for having tampered with private soldiers: and, if not, on whose authority and under what particular law she has been exempted from such a trial?
§ Mr. MACPHERSONNo, Sir. The Government do not propose to take any such action.
§ Mr. GINNELLWill the hon. Gentleman say why?
