§ MR. J. P. FARRELLTo ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been called to the case of 470 Thomas Murphy, now living at Ballyclare, county Longford, on a small pension, who fought throughout the entire Crimean War in 1854 and 1855; and will he direct that this man's pension be increased so as to enable him to refrain from having to work, being now in his eighty-fourth year.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) It is not possible to trace this case without the name of the regiment from which the man was discharged. If the hon. Member will kindly furnish this information, and, if possible, the date of discharge, inquiry shall be made into the case.
