§ MR. COX (Clare, E.) (for Mr. JORDAN) (Clare, W.)asked the Postmaster General, If, in view of the growing requirements of the district, he has yet decided to supply a better telegraphic instrument to the office in Miltown Malbay, County Clare, than the old A B C now in use there?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)In reply to the hon. Member, I have to state that the question has recently been before me; but as I find, upon inquiry, that the number of messages dealt with upon the circuit (including those not only of Miltown Malbay, but also of Limerick) averaged but seven daily in January, 13 in June, and 24 in August, one of the most busy months in the year, I do not think that the time has yet arrived for making any change in the instruments in use.
