§ Mr. MILLSasked the Secretary for War whether his attention had been called to the loss caused to Mr. A. W. Smith, of Feltham, Middlesex, owing to Territorials firing in the Feltham Hill Road, on 21st January; whether he is aware that the men were warned that the firing would frighten a considerable number of ewes in lamb, belonging to Mr. Smith, in an adjoining field, and might cause considerable damage; that they, in spite of this warning, continued to fire; and whether the War Office intends to recompense Mr. Smith for the damage he has sustained?
§ Mr. HALDANEAny claim for damage committed by the unit concerned is a matter for the consideration of the Association administering it. Mr. Smith has been informed to this effect, but it is understood that hitherto no application has been received by the County Association to which he was referred.
