§ Mr. CHARLES CRAIGasked the Postmaster-General whether he will reconsider the case of Miss Green, of Magheragall, Lisburn, county Antrim, who was injured by a fall from her bicycle caused by the carelessness or neglect of some Post Office telegraph workman on the 20th August last, and to whom the Post Office authorities paid the sum of £15 by way of compensation; whether he is aware that Miss Green was at the time of the accident earning from 15s. to 47s. per week; that as a result of her accident she was totally 710W incapacitated from work for five months, and is now only able to do a part of her former work; that she has had to expend £7 in doctors' and solicitors' fees in connection with the accident; and whether, under the circumstances, he will increase the amount of compensation?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThere is considerable doubt as to the circumstances in which Miss Green met with the accident in question; but as her legal adviser on 31st January last accepted on her behalf £15 in full discharge of all claims, I know of no reason why I should reopen the matter.
