§ Mr. COOPERMajor Adam's recent petition was considered by my Noble Friend the Secretary of State, but he can find no grounds for reopening this case.
§ Mr. COOPERI do not think so.
§ Sir B. FALLEIs my hon. Friend aware that there is a general feeling that this officer has not received the customary consideration and justice which the War Office invariably metes out to officers in such circumstances?
