§ CAPTAIN M'CALMONT (Antrim, E.)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether a Post Office Superintendent has been in charge of Carrickfergus Post Office since the late postmistress left in the autumn of last year; would he state what is the superintendent's salary per week, and will he have to be continued there till the new postmistress, Miss O'Gorman, has been instructed in her work; and whether this expenditure would have been necessary had Miss Moore been maintained in her appointment?
§ MR. A. MORLEYThe Carrickfergus Post Office has, since the 1st October last, when the vacancy occurred, been 178 under the control of a provincial clerk in charge, as usual in such cases, and that officer has been receiving his ordinary salary of 46s. a week during that period. The hon. and gallant Member is mistaken, as I have already informed him, in thinking that Miss Moore was appointed.
