PENSION FRAUDS IN INDIA.
A regular personification of de
ceased pensioners has been discov
ered at the station of Dapoolie.
This is a delightful healthy place
in the district of Ratnagiri, about
five miles from the sea, at an eleva
tiou of GOO feet.
It was the residence of veteran
Sepoys, who had been pensioned
after doing good service iu 1857-
58.
An annovm in petition brought
to ight »b<j diotressing tact that
pensions Ind drawn long af
ter tbe dec . 2 oi ;he real incum
bents, and that there w"®, besides
an organized scheme by which
pensions still due to survivors had
betn intercepted,!,nd were iu the
mam enjoyed by money lenders
iu the bazzaar aul by the native
clerks of the department.
A long investigation followed,
in which the millitary authorities
were all but baffled the conduct of
an Englishman m the ordinance
d> piriment, and of au intelligent
Pirsee, books were seized, rolls
were inspected and was found that
one fannak, who had origiua'ly
been intended for k the army, had
been in the habit of dressing him
self up as pensioner and drawing
the allowances.
This enterprising individual,
from bis photograph and from the
letter press must have had a lively
“ense of humor, He was sagacious
enough not to personate more than
rwo pensioners ou the same day
One in the morning and one in the
evening, except on special occasion
when he appeared five times.
His millitary salute was admir
<l 1! y giVrti and he subsequently re
lated, with just pride how he had
menvpd to draw the allowance of
he buhbadar major and of Sirdar
Ramnak Bahadur for. lour years
Os course this gifted actor had
