MR. DAVID M'GAW.

HC Deb 04 August 1890 vol 347 c1747

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND) (Fermanagh, N.

I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether Mr. David M'Gaw, of Enniskillen, has been paid the £200 offered to him in settlement of his claim in May last?

A LORD OF THE TREASURY (Sir H. MAXWELL,) Wigton

No payment has been made to Mr. McGaw. When his application was laid before the Lords of the Treasury, their Lordships felt themselves unable to renew the offer of 1884, having regard to the rent received in the interval by Mr. McGaw in excess of the value of his premises, and to the costs thrown upon the Department by his rejection of that offer. As an act of grace, however, and still denying any legal liability, they have authorised a payment to him of £100 on certain conditions, and the matter is under his consideration.
