§ MR. MOSS (Denbighshire, E.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War if his attention has been called to the case of Jane Edith Owen, wife of 2481, Private J. T. Owen, 2nd Battalion Scots Guards, now on active service with Her Majesty's forces in South Africa; and whether he is aware that before enlisting Private Owen was promised that his wife should receive, during his absence, a sum of 1s. 1d. per day separation allowance and 2d. a day for his child; that this promise was confirmed by a letter to Mrs. Owen, dated 24th March, 1900, from Captain King, of the Scots Guards; and that the only sum now received by Mrs. Owen and her child is a sum of 6d. per day allotted to her by her husband before leaving for the war.
§ *MR. WYNDHAMAn inquiry is being made into this case.
