HC Deb 27 February 1899 vol 67 c602
MR. JAMES O'CONNOR (Wicklow W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster-General, if any compensation has been awarded to Postman Armsby, of Ely, for the loss of his horse, which was taken from his charge by the orders of his postmaster and was fatally injured while in charge of the man who used it by the postmaster's orders.

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. R. W. HANBURY,) Preston

The question of making this-postman a grant towards the loss incurred by the death of his horse is under consideration, and the Postmaster-General is about to seek the authority of the Treasury for the amount.
