their case

the Report of the

his death is really a great loss to

also that
the superannuation fund, to which he had largely contributed, makes no provision for widows or orphans, I beg
most earnestly to recommend to the sympathy of Your Lordship the remainder of the prayer

whom a pension of £50 per annum
would in
my opinion be well bestowed. I have the honour to be,
