Yesterday afternoon a deputation waited anon the
Right Roe. General Peel. the SeareUry of State for War,
with refereoce to the billeting grieves.", and the forth-
wooing Mutiny Bill. Thera were prevent W. IL Maxey,
M.P., T. B. Hossfell, H.P., J. Axpinwall Turear, H.P., T.
Barb], M.P., Mr. Cowan, MP., and Captain Grey, M.P.
The deputation was tent by the Provincial Licessil Vic-
tuallers' Daises League.
Mr, Maessv, M.P., having formally introduced the pm,
port of the %Suntory,
Me. CANDKLWr4•I4 the select committee, presided mete
by General Codrinat on Lot oeseion, proved that the grievance
arising from the bilktiog ryatem was one which had exLtsd
for a owe-aeon of you., sad the innkeeper of this country
had been unable even to canoe en inquiry to be instituted
until the present ministry came into office. The all 'wane
for soldiers billeted had been raised from lid. to 4d. per
day, and gave general astieacti. n. Notwithetanding this,
and as mete matters of detail, they whaled te urge upon
the government that, In order to prevent the impersonation
of pertain billeting, and to make fraudulent alteration in the
billeting paper more dfficult, It shall in future be rendered
imperative upon "billet matters" throughout the totted
Kingdom to have the perdue before them for whom Mere
are required mate time of application. and that they shell
write, or MUM to be written, mon the billet paper the wow
of thane for whom the billet Is required, and the cumber of
night. 6.r which it is issued, Instead of figures. It was also
suggested that the allowance te innkeeper. for their worn-
=dialect is futon should be paid by the billet masters, at
their Aloes, en presentation of the bi•let pater, at the ex-
piration of the period f r which it war issued. Mr. Cate-
&let qu. ted from the report of the aelect committee in sup-
port of his views, adding the opinion of Sir Richard Mayne,
the commiseloosr of polies for the metropolis, that the dietrl-
bution of billete 'Mould not be in the hands of the pollee.
Mr. INGHAM mentioned thee the objections of innkeepers
were chiefly against the reception of recruits, for by the
facilities afforded by railway., they were seldom troubled
with soldiers. During the past you the number of men Wl-
let,d in Salford was 12,617, or on an average of 24 per day.
He supseated the formatiou of barrack IWeWp, In lien of
billets to be provided by the innkeepers.
Mr. Donn said the innkeepers would rather have a large
billegisg-house in the principal teens.
General Plum promised to imam official instructions about
the mods ot alliog op the billets, and rid when the
keepers were reedy with the propoml for billeting-
they were to comironnicate with him. Re was very rlrl
