§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL (Kerry, W.)To ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he will grant a Return giving the names of those selected to fill the various appointments to post-masterships made in England in the years 1898, 1899, 1900, 1901, and 1902, the salaries attached to each of those various appointments, the nationality of the men appointed, and their experience; and, whether he will grant a similar Return for Ireland during same period.
(Answer.) The Postmaster General is not prepared to grant the Return, as its preparation would be troublesome and expensive, and the Department does not know the nationality of the officers referred to.—(Post Office.)
