§ MR. CHARLES DEVLIN (Galway)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the application of Patrick Duggan, of Galway, for the gratuity due to his son John Duggan, of the Sutherland Highlanders, who had served in the South African War, and, as a result of the wounds there received, died shortly after his return; and whether, in view of Patrick Duggan's age and poverty, he will issue instructions to have any amounts still due paid without delay.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) My attention has been drawn to this case. There is no sum remaining due to Mr. Duggan on account of his son's 1512 estate, and he was so informed on the 17th instant.
