§ CAPTAIN O'BEIRNEasked the Postmaster General, Whether he can hold out any hopes that the telegraph system will soon be extended to several important places in the county of Leitrim which at present derive no benefit from the Telegraph Act of 1868?
§ LORD JOHN MANNERSI beg to say that I shall carefully consider the subject; but I am sorry to say I can hold out no hopes of the extensions in question being carried out, for there is no prospect of the receipts meeting the expenditure.
