the streets leaving a widow and child, behind him in a state of destitution.
This Officer was in the army and since his discharge has been in the service of this Government for nearly twelve years.
At the time of his death he was entitled to a pension of five hundred and twenty dollars a year, or if he had commuted it, he would have received 1020 dollars. Half of this amount would be six months' pay. Were he alive he would be drawing 75 Dollars monthly.
To date, and it is this (510 Dollars) which I would ask Your Lordship's permission to give to the widow and family of O'Brien as compensation to them for the distress into which they are suddenly plunged.
He is reported by his superiors to have been a very steady, trustworthy, and hard-working Officer.
I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient humble servant,
