§ Sir L. WORTH1NGTON-EVANSIn view of the further information received it has been found possible to award a provisional pension of 15s. a week in this case. The award, which has been notified to Mrs. Martin, is subject to confirmation on receipt of certain particulars now being obtained from the local war pensions committee.
