§ MR. JASPER TULLY (Leitrim, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that frequent complaints have been received from the manager of the Cavan and Leitrim Railway as to the delay and non-delivery of telegrams addressed from local offices to his address in Ballinamore; and that serious dislocations of the railway traffic have been caused by these breakdowns in the telegraph service; and whether, in view of the great risks and inconvenience to the public, he will make strict inquiries into the complaints with a view to providing a remedy?
§ MR. HANBURYSome complaints of delay to telegrams have been received from the manager of the Cavan and Leitrim Railway Company. The cause of the delay in each case has been explained to that gentleman, but the Post- 284 master General will cause further inquiry to be made with a view to ascertain whether any improvement in the arrangements is possible.
