Changes

A petition from the [[Mansfield|Mansfield]] Council was presented yesterday to the Chief Secretary by Mr H H Kitchen JP the president who was introduced by Mr [[Graves|Graves]] MLA. Mr Kitchen asked that the sum awarded to the widow of the late Sergeant [[Kennedy Sgt|Kennedy]] should be increased. Mr Berry said he could scarcely see his way to increase the sum as he considered it a most liberal one but if Mr Graves would bring the matter before Parliament and members approved of a larger amount he would not offer any opposition. We understand that Mr Graves has already received many promises of support from both sides of the House and intends to move that the amount be increased to £200 per annum.
