§ MR. HEALYasked the Secretary to the Treasury, The name of the person 1785 in receipt of the pension of £436 at page 545 of the Estimates of 1883–4; and, if he can say whether it is or is not the fact that Mr. Corry Connellan receives any sum out of the public purse?
§ MR. COURTNEY, in reply, said, the name of the person referred to was Corry Connellan, and he was in the receipt of the annual pension stated.
§ MR. HEALYThen I beg to give Notice that I shall call attention to this subject as a public scandal. I shall ask the Government, whether it is a fact that this person, who was hunted out of Ireland for being guilty of a disgraceful offence, which cannot be mentioned, is at the present moment receiving from Her Majesty's Government a pension of £436 per annum?
