The delay of twenty-one years in presenting the claim for pension certainly needs explanation.
I am inclined to think it would have been a fortunate thing if in this case it could have been demonstrated that a man could thrive so well ...
I am entirely satisfied that the public building provided for in this bill is not immediately necessary.
I think little, if any, more infirmity than is usually found in men of the age of the claimant.
