Some other gentlemen spoke 

 on the subject ; and the question 

 being put, that 113,64-0 men stand

 Majority, 30. 



In the House of Lords, on 



Maardi 13th, when the order of 

 the day stood for the third read- 

 ing of the Mutiny Bill, Earl 

 Grosvenor rose to move, in pur- 

 suance of notice given, for an 

 alteration in the pi-eamble of the 

 bill. It was to this effect ; that 

 instead of the words " 113,64'0 

 men,'' there should be substituted 

 " 100,000 men." 



He was replied to by Earl 

 Balhurst ; and the Amendment 

 being negatived, the bill was read 

 a tliird time, and passed.
