THE BANDA PRIZE MONEY.

Mr. H. SEYMOUR asked the Secretary of State for
India, whether any and what steps are being taken for the
distribution of the Banda prize money duo to General
Whitlock's force ?

Sir C. WOOD said that with regard to the prize money
in question the subject was under the consideration of the
India Government, as some dispute had arisen in reference
to the amount to be distributed.

EMPLOYMENT OF SOLDIERS IN THE CON-
STRUCTION OF CHELSEA WORKS.

Mr. AYRTON drew attention to this subject, and de
precated the conduct of the Government in granting the
assistance of Sappers and Miners for the works.
Sir G. C. LEWIS repeated the explanation that he had
given on a previous occasion. and said that as the work-
men considered the act of Government an interference with
their rights, he had given instructions that after the Ist of
September the employment of the Sappers and Miners
should be discontinued. (Hear, hear.)
Sir M. PETO said that the question was one
between the employers and the workmen, and condemned
the interference of Government. He expressed a belief
that ultimately the hour system would be adopted.
The subject then dropped.
