§
LORD TRURO moved—
That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty for a Return in a tabular form showing (1) ages, (2) length of service, (3) number of privates who have not completed
1401
their drill and musketry instruction, of the non-commissioned officers, corporals, and privates of 2nd-21st, 58th, 3rd-60th, Rifles, 91st, and 94th, at present under order for the Cape of Good Hope, as they embark for active service; also the number of men from each regiment left at home on account of physical unfitness, and the number drawn from other regiments to complete the battalions.
§ VISCOUNT BURYsaid, that a Return in the form suggested by the Motion of the noble Lord would involve a large amount of labour upon the officers of regiments under orders for the Cape, and that, therefore, the Return would be prepared in the same form, or very nearly, as that which had been ordered in the other House of Parliament.
§ Motion agreed to.
