§ Captain CRAIGasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if Charles W. Maguire, an ex-sergeant in the Royal Irish Constabulary, was awarded £1,700 compensation for injuries received in an ambush in 1921 while on patrol in the town of Letterkenny; whether £1,350 of this has been paid, and that Sergeant Maguire has been informed that £80 or £90 would be deducted from the balance for medical expenses; and whether he will see that, as the injuries from which Sergeant Maguire suffered were received in the exercise of his duty, the medical expenses rendered necessary by these injuries shall be borne by the Crown, and that no portion a the sum awarded to him shall be, deducted?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODI regret that I am not yet in a position to make any statement on this matter.
