§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILLI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been directed to the case of Thomas T. Crowley, of Bank Street, Ballyshannon, who is now seventy-six years of age, and having served in the 2nd Queen's Regiment in the West Indies, Cape, and Malta from 1857 till 761 1867, and obtained two good-conduct badges, was discharged owing to an injured leg on a pension of 6d. a day, which was increased in 1877 to 8d. a day; and whether, having regard to the fact that Crowley is, by reason of advanced age and ill-health contracted in military service, unable to work, and that he and his wife and a sister-in-law, who lives with them and gets 2½d. a day outdoor relief, are otherwise wholly dependent for subsistence on this meagre pittance, any, and, if so, what steps will be taken to relieve him in his destitution.
§ MR. HALDANEIt has not been found possible to trace this man on the information given in the Question. Will the hon. and learned Member be so good as to forward to the War Office any further particulars which are available, including the date of the man's discharge.
§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILLI will, if the War Office will pay any attention to it.
