les borne by the coatractors or by the goverment, from the
let of April to the date of issuing the new clothing of 1866.
Whether any steps bare been taken to provide the Guards
with clothing suitable to the Crimean summer, the Wm of
whits trousers having been lately discontinued ?
Mr. PEEL said this question had apparently hem put
from east of information as to the nightlong observed I.
:shrines to the clothing of the Guards. Is the ease of
regiments of the line, when ON WIN of clothing wise
made, the aliening of the preceding year was disentinued ;
list in the ease of the Guards, it was customary to have two
suits in see at ones—the last 15... being reserved for Sun-
days sad other special occasions, and the clothing tined is
the preceding year being worn cis ordinary mesa ma.
Cessequeotly, on the camel= referred to, they wore
M their unsay clothing that issued for 1864-6 ;
sad no allowance would be due to them from that
elnerastance. Though the white Wiesen had been discos-
tinned, light clothing of other materials had bees substituted
in their need, sad would b- sent from this country as ems
ea it was ready. Light clothe. for the army generally had
oleo been provided. He would take that opportunity of
emceeing more folly a question which was put on Friday,
whether • detachment of the 16th Regiment had not been
landed from Alma steamship while the baggage of that
regiment had Men taken on to the Crimea. lie then stated
that he bad received no arch report, and thought it ex-
tremely nuked,. Ile bad since been pot in possession of
the report of the commanding officer of that detachment,
and found that the whole of the regimental baggage and
the camp equipage of that detachment had been duly
