Cox, of the Interior Department, through an
appeal by E. r. Drummond ESQ., of Water
Vile, has made an important ruling in Pension
Law, under act of June 6, 1866. In payment
of 81 per month, to minor children when the
widow. has remarked or died, Commissioner
Van Aernam ruled that the above amount
should be paid to all the children "save one"
that is, one of them should take the place of
the widow. On the appeal of Mr.. Drummond,
