HL Deb 02 March 1854 vol 131 c171
THE DUKE OF MONTROSE

asked the noble Earl at the head of the Government whether it was intended to call out the Scotch militia this year, a point which did not appear clear from the answer the noble Earl gave to the Earl of Wicklow on Tuesday last?

THE EARL OF ABERDEEN

said, that what he stated in reference to the Irish militia was, that it would not be embodied this year; but it was the intention of the Government to call out the Scotch militia, to the number of 10,000, in the present year.
