| PRISONERS COMPENSATION
The question of a prisoner's right to compensation for injuries received in gaol has been brought under the notice of the Lurgan magistrates in the case of a young man named Stevenson, who, while serving a sentence for assault, had both his hands severely injured in whitewashing. Alter seeing the man's hands,
the chairman of the Bench admitted that he was now unfit for employment of any kind. Mr. Magahan said that in private employment Stevenson could have obtained redress under the Workmen's Compensation Act. Mr. Gibson
suggested an appeal to the Inspector-General of Prisons, 'but Mr. Magahan thought the publication of the' facts might be sufficient.

The information on this website is free and will always be so. However, there are many documents and records that we would like to show here that are only available for sale. If you would like to make a donation to the Lurgan Ancestry project, however small (or large!), to enable us to acquire these records, it would be very much appreciated. We could cover our pages in Goggle Ads to raise money, but feel that this would detract from the information we are trying to provide.
