HC Deb 04 September 1895 vol 36 c1692
MR. J. O'KELLY (Roscommon, N.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, whether, with a view to increase his pension, he will consider the case of Michael Connaughten, who joined the British Army on 9th July, 1851, in the 95th Regiment, and served through the Crimean War and Indian Mutiny, and is in possession of a Crimean medal with three clasps, a Turkish medal, a medal for the Indian Mutiny and one clasp; he was discharged on 18th June, 1867, on a pension of ninepence per day, after a service of 15½ years, having been wounded in battle and discharged through bad health?

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (Mr. POWELL-WILLIAMS,) Birmingham, S.

This case will be referred to the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital, and they will be asked to consider whether Michael Connaughten's disability has increased in consequence of his wound.
