§ MR. EDWARD BARRY (Cork County, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether the examination usually held in March for female or women clerkships in the Post Office will be held this year; and, if not, how soon afterwards is it arranged to be held.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINNo examination for women clerkships will be held this month. It cannot at present be stated whether an examination will be held this year, but, if so, it will probably not be earlier than October.
