File relating to a legal case by a James Ryan against Fr. P. Carton.

Ryan, Patrick L., Upper John Street, Cashel, Co. Tipperary. As a member of the Christian Brothers he was not allowed to join the Superannuation Scheme for teachers in 1929. This position changed in 1950. He left the Order in 1952, thereby being required to pay arrears to the Pension Board for the period 1929 -1949. This is leaving him with an unlivable salary. He feels the Order should help him as his salary went to the Order during those years. They refuse having no obligation in justice or charity to help.
