§ MR. JAMES O'KELLY (Roscommon, N.)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that Pat Dolan, now resident at Cortobber, Carrick-on-Shannon, Ireland, enlisted on 20th January, 1857 in the 3rd Battalion 60th Regiment of Foot (regimental number 1,313); that he was discharged, after serving twelve years and 278 days on sixpence a day pension for three years; and that he was eighteen years of age at the time of enlistment; and will he say whether this man became entitled under the Chelsea Gift to a pension of sixpence per day on attaining the age of fifty years; and will he inquire into his case.
(Answer.) This man was discharged as medically unfit owing to a self-inflicted wound. The temporary pension was granted as an act of grace, the regulations then in force giving him no claim to any deferred pension.—(War Office.)
