Whether he has received a Memorial from the parish of Kilbride, County Wicklow, signed by a number of respectable inhabitants, including the clergy of both denominations, in favour of the appointment of Mrs. Cullen as postmistress of the local post office, in the room of her husband, lately deceased; whether it is true that Mrs. Cullen discharged the duties during her husband's lifetime; and if he can state why, under the circumstances, she has not been appointed?
