§ MR. NANNETTII beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether his attention has been called to a meeting of postal servants held in Dublin recently, and to the resolutions which were then passed, and whether, in view of the feeling existing, he will grant an inquiry into all the circumstances connected with the recent Corcoran defalcations out of which the alleged imputations on the staff by the Controller were made; and whether he will lay upon the Table the correspondence which took place in that investigation.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINThe Postmaster General's attention has been called to the meeting referred to. In view of the fact that all the circumstances connected with the Corcoran defalcations were very fully and carefully investigated at the time, the Postmaster General does not consider that any further inquiry is necessary. The Papers connected with the case contain confidential reports, and the Postmaster General cannot lay them on the Table.
§ MR. NANNETTII shall put another Question on this subject.
