| Description | The Commons may take up the matter [Lord Cardigan] as a precedent on complaints of officers against their superiors, or even of privates against officers. Melbourne suggests that something should be done to avoid the question being discussed in the Commons. Cabinet called to consider this. Melbourne has seen Hill, who has consulted Wellington, who expressed himself very fully. His opinion was, that after what the Military Authorities had done, they could go no farther. Cabinet will consider this. |
