§ MR. A. O'CONNOR (Donegal, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether any decision has yet been arrived at with regard to the proposed allowances to messengers, doorkeepers, and porters in the public offices in which the official hours have been extended from 6 to 7, and in which the clerks, who are required to give increased attendance, have received an increase of salary?
§ A LORD OF THE TREASURY (Sir H. MAXWELL,) WigtonIt does not follow that where the hours of clerks are extended the attendance of messengers is necessarily increased; but the Treasury has occasionally allowed an addition to the salary of messengers, &c., when they have been called upon to give bond fide extra attendance; and if cases are brought before the Treasury they will be carefully considered.
