§ VISCOUNT CRANBORNE (Rochester)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that Frederick Silver sustained an injury arising out of and in the course of his employment as Convict Warder of Borstal Prison in April 1894, which compelled him to leave the service, and which rendered him totally unfit for any hard manual labour; and that only the ordinary pension of about 1s. 4½d. a day has been awarded to him; whether he has applied in vain for a special pension which is permitted in certain cases: and whether, under the circumstances, his case will be reconsidered?
§ SIR MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEYI am aware of the circumstances of this case, all of which have been fully considered, and I am afraid that there is no ground on which I can properly urge a reconsideration by the Treasury.
