§ SIR T. ESMONDE(for Mr. JUSTIN MCCARTHY,) LondonderryI beg to ask the Postmaster General why the increase of clerical force of three second-class 353 telegraphists, sanctioned in July, 1891, in the Londonderry Telegraph Department, has not yet been carried out; whether complaints have reached him that the present staff is inadequate to do the work required of it; and whether the telegraphic business of the district suffers delay in consequence?
§ SIR J. FERGUSSONNo such sanction was given in July, 1891, but I lately decided to add three to the staff in question, which will be done as soon as the necessary forms have been gone through. No complaints from the public of unsatisfactory service have reached me.
