Hr. GRIFFITH asked the Secretary at State for War

voluateer oorpe by the War office were not col:tooted with
the par they removed from the Wordily", but required pa
iu addition from the volunteers ; and whether such
iog were in soconisses with the intention of the War-odßos ;
and if not, whether the government would prevent its or
nurrenee, either by prohibiting the drill instructors from
making say demand on the volunteers, or in any other

way.
Sir G. C. LEWIS explained that the sergeant-instructors
of volunteers were of ►wo classes :—There were first those
who bad pensions—they received the same pay as the per-
manent staff of the militia, which with certain allowances
amounted to Sfs. 4d. a day ; sad then there were also those
who had no pention•— they were paid at the mare rate as
sergeants of the line, namely, 28.7 d. a day. It was impossible
with regard to these two classes to give higher allowanoce.

regard to the alleged insufficiency of the pay ; and re to the
remuneration for their 'review to volunteers, that was a
matter which the commanding officers of volunteers had
