136 of 1883. Gratuity to Mrs. MULGRAVES, $166.
Read: A Petition from the widow of JAMES MULGRAVES, late Inspector of Nuisances, dated the 11th instant, for a compassionate allowance.
The Committee find that the Petitioner has been left destitute and that her late husband had served the Government faithfully since 1871,—first as a Turnkey in Victoria Gaol, and afterwards, from August, 1879, as Inspector of Nuisances, which latter appointment he held at the time of his death.
The Committee also find that the deceased lost his life from necrosis of the bone of the leg, arising from injuries he had received in the performance of his duties, while at the Gaol, in a struggle with a madman.
The Committee also find that the Government had to pay $75 towards the funeral expenses of the deceased in consequence of his having died destitute.
Under the circumstances the Committee recommend a gratuity of $166 to the Petitioner. In doing so, the Committee desire to record that, considering the frequent applications of this nature that come before them, they recommend that the question of forming a Widows and Orphans general fund for officers should be brought to the attention of the Executive.
