LORD ORANMORE AND BROWNEsaid, he rose to ask whether it was the 825 intention of Her Majesty's Government to grant a suitable pension to Miss Burke, sister of the late Under Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant, in recognition of Mr. Burke's long and faithful service in the difficult and dangerous position he held, and of his having lost his life in the service of his country? He did not ask the Question in consequence of having had any communication with any member of the family. This was a case in which Her Majesty's Government would recognize the truth of the adage that those gave twice who gave quickly; and a suitable provision for Miss Burke would be at once an expression of deep sympathy with her in the circumstances in which she was placed, and a tribute to the real worth of her unfortunate brother.
§ EARL GRANVILLEMy Lords, I am happy to be in a position to answer the Question of the noble Lord. It is with great satisfaction I have to inform your Lordships that Her Majesty has been advised by the Prime Minister to grant a pension of £400 a-year to Miss Burke, in recognition of the services of her unfortunate brother.
