HC Deb 26 May 1892 vol 4 c1883
COLONEL NOLAN (Galway, N.)

I beg to ask the Financial Secretary to the War Office if he will explain why Colour Sergeant Finn, of the 1st Volunteer Battalion, Cheshire Regiment, was discharged with a pension of sergeant instead of one of colour sergeant, after twenty-six years' service, in view of the facts that it is usual in such cases to give a colour sergeant's pension, and that Sergeant Wallace of the same battalion received a colour sergeant's pension?

*THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, Guildford

The case of pensioner Finn has been referred back to the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital for re-consideration, with the view to the amendment of the pension.
