ALLOCATION CARRIED OUT.
By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. (Received July 8, 11.50 p.m.) London, July 8. The Mansion House Committee has allocated the Scott Memorial Fund as follows: Lady Scott receives £8500. Peter Scott, her son, £3500. Captain Scott's mother and his two sisters, £6000. Mrs. ' Wilson, £8500. Mrs. Bowers, and her two daughters, £4500. Mrs. Evans and her children, £1250. Petty-Officer Evans's mother, £250. Mrs. Brissenden and her child, £750.
Mrs. Abbott, £750. Various other amounts have been vested with the Public Trustee. Lady Scott's amount, in the event of her death, will revert to her son Peter.
The committee will pay over £5100, the estimated deficit on the expedition.
A sum of £17,500 is assigned for the publication of the scientific results, and another sum of £18,000 for providing a memorial in St. Paul's and sculptured bronze figures of the five dead heroes in Hyde Park.
The balance of the fund, estimated at £10,000, will be devoted to future Polar research.
As Captain Oates's relatives do not require financial assistance, the committee contributes his share towards a regimental memorial for the Inniskillings.
