§ Mr. HUNTasked why the pension of 13d. a day of W. C. Rudgley (8415), who was wounded in the thigh in China on 13th July, 1900, has been stopped; and whether he is aware that this man depends to a considerable extent for his living on this pension?
§ Dr. MACNAMARARudgley was, as stated, wounded on July 13th, 1900. He was discharged on August 13th, 1903, with a service of 6 years and 361 days. A pension of 1s. 1d. was granted him from year to year. When the question of a further renewal was last under consideration, in October, it was ascertained that for some time he had been guilty of grave misrepresentation respecting the amount of his earnings. His pension has consequently been discontinued in accordance with the regulations, but Rudgley's case will be further considered if, as a result of his injury, his earning capacity is seriously affected.
