CASE OF MR. CAVANAGH.
Colonel FRENCH asked, pursuant to notice, whether it
was the intention of the Minister for War to advise her Ma-
jeaty to confer any mark of favour on Sergeant Cavanagh, of
the 88th, for his gallantry in passing through the rebel army
with important information from Lucknow to Sir Colin

84. J. RAMSDEN thought that the hon. and gallant
member must be under some mistake as to the identity of
the individual to whom the question referred, as, on exa-
mining the musts-roll of the 88th Regiment, it was found
that there wee no sergeant of the name of Cavanagh in the
regiment. He believed further that, from the position of the
regiment at the time, It would have hem impossible for any
soldier in it to have been within the walla of Lacknow, the
regiment being at the time with General Windham at Cawn-
pore. On referring to the general order of the Governor-
General of India, be found mention made of a Mr. Cavanagh,
sad lintel* by reading a paragraph in that order he ahould
be able to -show the gallant member that the services of that
individual had not been forgotten. The order wee dated
10th December, 1&57, and stated that the Commander-in-
Mel had mentioned in terms of just appreciation the valu-
able aid which he had received from Mr. Cavanagh, of the
uswevenanted civil service. The Governor-General offered hie
spidal thanks to Mr. Cavanagh, whose conduct should be
bans la mind by the government. Should the Governor-
General follow up this notice by any recommendation to the
home government, such recommendation would of mune
receive all the attention it deserved.
