§ Mr. BIRRELLBernard O'Donnell's age was given as seven years in the Census Returns of 1851, and his name did not appear among his parents' family in the Returns of 1841. The Local Government Board decided that he had not yet attained the statutory age. The indenture referred to in the last paragraph of the question has been returned to the claimant.
