HC Deb 26 June 1882 vol 271 c394
MR. T. A. DICKSON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, What provision the Government intend making for the widow of the late Captain Disney, Governor of Omagh Gaol, county Tyrone, who lost his life through the defective sanitary condition of that prison?

MR. TREVELYAN

I have just received a communication from the Treasury, which Department sanctions a gratuity to Captain Disney's widow to the amount of one year's salary—namely, £200.

MR. T. A. DICKSON

said that he regarded the compensation proposed to be given as so utterly inadequate that he should call the attention of the House to the matter when the Estimates came on for discussion.
