- Title:
- 81. Letter from Lord Stanley
- Scope & Content:
-
Writes that he has sent few Despatches because of Christmas. He is taking legal opinion as to the competence of Parliament to transfer the services of the soldiers without their consent, but thinks there can be no doubt of the result. Agrees that some concession, as of favour not right, should be made to the men. When Lord Palmerston brought in his India Bill in Feb he proposed that those who disliked the change ought to be free to leave the service. Affairs seem to be going well in Oudh. Jacob's death was a great loss. Sends good wishes for the New Year. There is a vacancy in the Council in England because of Shepherd's resignation. Asks for a recommendation of a Provisional Member of the Calcutta Council in Montgomery's place. Private.
