Captain FABERasked the Postmaster-General if he can state whether any pension can be given to the widow of George Wheable, late postman at Longparish, Hampshire, who after twelve years' service and having gained two good conduct stripes, died from reported overwork, and just too soon for the ordinary provision in such cases as regards money assistance?
