PENSION FOR GOVERNOR.
FREE STATE’S DECISION. Received June 5, 12.5 p.m. DUBLIN, June 4. After Mr W. T. Cosgrave’s supporters had denounced it as graft and one of the most disgraceful episodes in Parliamentary life, the Dail accepted the proposal to grant a pension of £SOO a year and a gratuity of £2OOO to Air Donald Buckley, formerly a grocer and innkeeper, whose office of GovernorGeneral was abolished last year. Air Patrick J. Ruttledge, Alinister of Justice, 6a.id that Mr Buckley’s services in 1916, when he was deported for participation in the rebellion, were partially the reason for the proposal.
