§ SIR JOHN HAYasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If the Irish Executive would reconsider the case of Major Percy, late Resident Magistrate in Ireland, who was retired in July 1882, and who is advised that he is entitled to a larger pension under the 7th section of the 22nd Victoria, c. 26, than that awarded to him by the Treasury, as it seems that under the Act quoted above two-thirds of salary can be granted as a retiring allowance on abolition of office?
§ MR. TREVELYANThis appears to be a Question rather for the Treasury, who award pensions, than for the Irish Government. I doubt, however, if there would be any use in approaching their Lordships on the subject. Major Percy received the pension he was entitled to under the Act of Parliament and the Treasury Rules made there under. Having served 18 years, he was allowed in the computation of his pension 10 additional years for professional qualification and seven for abolition of office—making 35 years in all.
