HC Deb 20 March 1882 vol 267 c1280
MR. M'COAN

asked the Postmaster General, Under what circumstances Mr. Quick was recently removed from the postmastership of Hollywood, county Wicklow; and, if he is prepared to state to the House the nature of the charge or charges, if any, on which the removal was ordered?

MR. FAWCETT

Sir, in reply to the hon. Member, I have to state that Mr. Quick was removed from the postmaster-ship of Hollywood because he was found attending meetings of an association which had been declared to be illegal, after having been fully warned of the consequences which would result.
