§ Mr. GINNELLasked the Under-Secretary for War why James Barry, Mullingar, dependant of Private Patrick Barry, has not yet been given the allowance due to him from September to January last; and, in view of the difficulty of inquiry after Patrick Barry has gone to the front, whether any necessary inquiry will be made now before he leaves England?
§ Mr. FORSTERNo allotment was made by this soldier until 11th January, and he has admitted this to his commanding officer; consequently nothing was due to his father until then.
