70. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War why Patrick Sullivan, a soldier of the Royal Irish Fusiliers, one of two brothers both wounded in, action, has been allowed to die of neglect in the workhouse at Weymouth, and buried in a pauper's grave there?

Mr. TENNANT

If the hon. Gentleman wishes me to inquire into the circumstances of this case, as I shall, of course, be glad to do, he must furnish me with further particulars, such as the regimental number, the number of the battalion, and the date of the alleged incident.

Mr. GINNELL

Has the right hon. Gentleman not inquired at the workhouse at Weymouth about this man who died suddenly there the other day?

Mr. TENNANT

What was his name?

Mr. GINNELL

Patrick Sullivan.
