§ MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that a rural postman named Michael Ganly, at Whitehall, Tarmonbarry, has to walk thirteen miles per day delivering and collecting letters for a wage of 5s. 6d. per week; and whether he will see that this man is paid a proper wage.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINAccording to the records of the Department, the length of the delivery in question does not exceed seven and a half miles, and for the distance, as well as in respect of the time occupied, the payment is correct according to the authorised scale.
