of use. He is a soldier's son, and on Thursday he reminded the House of a fact everybody is always forgetting, that the power of the Queen over the Army is not derived from prerogative, but is statute-made. James II. had no such power. When the time comes for the fusion of the Horse Guards and the Ministry at War, that is, we suppose, immediately after the next catastrophe, Mr. Darby Griffith's reminder will be of importance.
