§ SIR HERBERT MAXWELL (A LORD of the TREASURY)(who replied) said (Wigton)The maximum pay of the first class of telegraphists in the Central Telegraph Office is £140 per annum, and of the next higher class, the senior telegraphists, £190 per annum; and promotion from one class to the other takes place from time to time if there are vacancies.
