§ MR. TULLYI beg to ask the Postmaster General, whether he is aware of the circumstances under which John Gilchriest, late post messenger from Granard to Finnea, was obliged to leave the Postal Service, namely, that he was transferred to Athlone, a distance of 30 miles from his home and family, and on his arrival there was asked by the Postmistress what was his religion; and that, on declaring he was a Roman Catholic, he received no instructions as to his route, or his time of departure or return; and whether he will order a full 1602 inquiry into this case, and recommend that compensation be given to this man for his term of faithful service in the Post Office employment?
§ MR. ARNOLD MORLEYTime has not admitted of my inquiry into the allegations contained in the hon. Member's question, but I am having inquiry made, and the result shall be communicated to him.
