HC Deb 13 May 1822 vol 7 c560
Mr. S. Rice

asked the noble marquis, whether it was the intention of government to adopt any resolution with respect to the second post-master of Ireland?

The Marquis of Londonderry

said, that when government advised the Crown to take measures with respect to the second post-master of England, they advised the same measure with respect to the postmaster of Ireland.

Mr. Hume

wished to know whether a similar arrangement was to take place with respect to the post-office in Scotland.

The Marquis of Londonderry

said, that the post-master there had other duties to perform, besides those of the post-office; and, besides, his salary did not exceed 800l. a year.

Mr. Hume

thought 800l. a year toe much for doing nothing.
