Summary of case: Had been two applications to the local tribunal, one by him one by employer, who is his widowed mother. Lonergan states that Conley is my son and the only man now employed in the Hotel. I cannot manage without one. When my husband died I had to send for my son to assist me. I have a large business with two kinds of trade, a better class and a working one. I do catering work as well which alone keeps me fully occupied.
