§ MR. DEASY (Mayo, W.)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether the retiring gratuity of fifty pounds, recommended to be granted to the late Robert O'Flynn, National School Teacher, Newport, county Mayo, will be handed over to his widow?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HENRY H. FOWLER) (Wolverhampton, E.)I am informed that, according to the Report of the Registrar of Deaths, Mr. O'Flynn, whose widow is referred to in this Question, died a bachelor. The Law Officers of the Crown are of opinion that in the case of the death of a teacher before the Warrant granting the gratuity is completed there is no power to pay the amount to the personal representatives of the deceased teacher.
