MR. PATRICK O'BRIENI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is now prepared to give an answer to the Petition forwarded on 27th September 1895, by seven sorting clerks of the Sorting Office, General Post Office, Dublin, with reference to the delay in the granting of their appointments, and claiming that their appointments should date from the time of nomination, and that all increments to which in that time they would have been entitled be allowed?
§ MR. AKERS-DOUGLASThis matter is still under the consideration of the Treasury, who have had to call for further information on the subject.
