§ MR. BODKIN (Roscommon, N.)I beg to ask the Postmaster General what is the cause of the delay in filling up the branch Post Office of Frenchpark, County Roscommon, now for many months vacant, in view of the fact that a lady in every way qualified is a candidate, whose appointment, he has reason to know, is generally desired in the district?
§ MR. A. MORLEYThe Office at Frenchpark is not yet vacant. The postmaster has for some time been seriously ill; but there is some hope of his recovery; and, meanwhile, a temporary arrangement has been made for the performance of his duties.
