Half pension to be suspended and the other half paid to wife for term of imprisonment Note on Application for Title: Hugh Daniels left no children. His widow is only entitled to inherit anything due to him and no more. Although the pensioner had not strictly fulfilled all the conditions as to improvements yet he had partly fenced the ground and had collected the stone for building his cottage when he suddenly died and he had served more than the prescribed period as an enrolled pensioner. I’ll recommend the fee simple of the allotment be granted to his widow left in destitute circumstances.
