§ DR. ROBERT AMBROSE (Mayo, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster-General, whether his attention has been drawn to the appointment of Mr. Morrison, of Moy, County Tyrone, to the position of Clerk of Petty Sessions of the Moy district of County Tyrone; whether he is aware that Mr. Morrison already holds the position of postmaster for the same district; and whether it is competent for a postmaster to hold the position of Petty Sessions Clerk also.
§ MR. HANBURYThe Postmaster of Moy, Mr. Morrison, received permission several years ago to become a candidate for the position of Petty Sessions Clerk, and this permission was renewed to him recently. It is not considered desirable that a postmaster should hold the position of Petty Sessions Clerk, and the permission to become a candidate for it will not be granted in any future case.
