§ In proviso (5) to Section forty-four of the Army Act (which prescribes the scale of punishment by courts martial) after the 421 word "flogging" there shall be inserted the words "or attachment to a fixed object."
The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Lieut.-Colonel Guinness)I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
I do not think this needs any explanation. It is a condition made to satisfy hon. Members opposite, and it was agreed to do it in the House of Lords.
§ Captain WEDGWOOD BENNSome of my hon. Friends undertook not to delay 422 the proceedings, and I thank the hon. and gallant Member.
§ Question put, and agreed to.
§ The remaining Orders were read, and postponed.
