IMPERIAL 2ARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This Evening.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at 5 o'clock.

The Earl of HARDWICK presented a petition from
Sheffield, signed by upwards of 3,000 persons, pra3ing
for the restoration of the royal family of Oude.
Lord PANMURE said as the noble lord the Under-
Secretary of War was present he begged to put
a question to him. I, would be recollected that during
the mutiny in India, a considerable outbreak took place
at a station (Jelindhur, as we understood), which was
under the command of Col. Johnston, of the 87th Regi-
ment. .Tnis officer had been accused of a great direiec
tion of duty. In the first place, be had been accused of
not having in proper time disarmed the mutineers ;
and, secondly, of great remissness in following
them up after they had mutinied and murdered several
of their officer?. He bad heard that a full kquiry into
all the circumstances had been taken, first, by the D.!-
, puty Judge Advocate-General, then by the Judge
Advocate-General hiicself, and, lastly, by the Com-
mander-in• Chief, Sir C. Campbell. His reason for asking
the queitton was because he found there was no means
in this country, of officially promulgating the decision
that had been arrived at. To a military man he need
not say nothing was dearer than his reputation ; and,
under those circumnsnites, he begged to ask whether it
was true that Col. Johnstone bad been acquitted cf alt
the charges brought againet him ?
Lord HARDINGE said he had great pleasure in
answering the question put to him by the noble lord.
A moat searching investigation had been made into the
charges, attended by the Commander-in-Chief, Sir Colin
Campbell, and the result was that Cif. Johnstone bad
b:en fuly and honourab'y acquitted of the charges
brought againet him. He bad great pleasure in making
this announcement, because he believed Col. Johnst,ine
was a gallant and energetic officer, and had betn moat
unjustly attacked.
Lord PANMUEtE thanked the noble lord for the
answer.
