HC Deb 08 March 1898 vol 54 c985
MR. W. LUCAS-SHADWELL (Hastings)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Admiralty have yet decided to grant a pension to the widow of Chief Officer Emery, of Haddocks Station, in the parish of Fairlight, who, according to the verdict of the jury at the inquest, died in his bed of heart disease, the result of over-exertion in the discharge of his duty on the previous day?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY

I am inquiring into the case, and hope to be able to give a decision on Thursday or Friday.
