The applicant , now in his 72 nd year , vvas formerly Captain in the Merchant Service , and having saved money , retired , and invested his savings in shipping property j this investment , owing to loss of ships and the great depreciation in the value of property of this nature , resulted in the applicant losing nearly the whole of his savings ; what remained he subsequently invested in Shares in a Steam Ship , the managing owner of which a short time afterwards became bankrupt . The steamer being sold , the amount realised vvas insufficient to pay the amounts due on her . Thus the applicant lost his all , and he , and his wife , who is now in her 74 th year , are totally without the means of subsistence .
