§ Sir J. CRAIGOn 7th May Mr. Lyver was provisionally awarded a weekly allowance of 5s. 6d. a week for thirteen weeks for myopic astigmatism, not attributable to service, but the award was cancelled a few weeks later on the ground that there was no disablement, and Mr. Lyver was informed accordingly and his allowance book withdrawn.
