MR. BEADYasked the President of the Local Government Board, If he will be good enough to inform the House the age of Mr. Grubb, who was lately refused by the guardians of Warminster a pension which they were empowered to give under the "Poor Law Medical Officers Superannuation Act, 1870;" the period of his service; and if he did not, 1550 in the discharge of his professional duties, sustain a severe fracture of his thigh which incapacitated him for some months from following his profession?
§ MR. STANSFELD, in reply, said, Mr. Grubb's age was 53, and the length of his service 26½ years. It was true that in the discharge of his professional duties he had sustained a fracture of the thigh. The Local Government Board had no power to give him a superannuation; that entirely rested with the Board of Guardians.
