§ MR. PATRICK A. M'HUGHI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, will he explain why the sub-post office in Jail Street, Ennis, was closed in December 1895, is he aware that since the date mentioned the Post Office authorities have promised to re-open the office in question: and, will he give instructions to have it re-opened as soon as possible.
§ MR. HANBURYThe office was closed because the sub-postmistress was deficient in her official money, and was unable to make the deficiency good. It has been arranged to open another office in the locality as soon as possible, but at a site somewhat more distant from the head post office.
