§ MR. TULLYI beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he can state if he has completed his inquiries, as promised, into the case of John Gilchriest, the late post messenger from Granard to Fennea, and with what result?
§ MR. ARNOLD MORLEYGilchriest's place at Granard was abolished owing to the substitution of a mail car for the walking post. On arrival at Athlone, Gilchriest asked the Postmistress to recommend him some lodgings and, in order that she might direct him to the house of a co-religionist, she inquired his creed. This, so far as I have been able to ascertain, is the only foundation for the allegation implied in the question. It is not the case that he received no instructions. He took little or no pains to learn his duties, he caused trouble by his indifference, and on the 1st of May he left for America.
