§ SIR T. ESMONDEI beg to ask the Postmaster General what guarantee was required by the Post Office for the opening of the telegraph station at Ardfert, County Kerry; and whether the guarantors have ever been called 359 upon to make good any deficiency in the receipts of that office?
§ SIR J. FERGUSSONThe Telegraph Office at Ardfert was established about 20 years ago. At that time the system of guarantees had not been introduced.
