§ MR. SEXTONI beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he is aware that no telegraphic connection has yet 243 been made with the Post Office, Waring Street, Belfast; and whether he will state when the office will be open for the despatch of telegrams?
§ MR. JACKSON (in the temporary absence of Mr. RAIKES)In reply to the right hon. Gentleman, I have to say that after answering the question which he put to me on the 11th ultimo, I gave instructions for an extension of the Telegraph to the Post Office in Waring Street to be carried out early in the present financial year. The office, however, cannot be opened for the despatch of telegrams until the necessary wire and fittings have been provided.
