§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL (Kerry, W.)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether his attention has been called to the loss incurred by Mr. Denis O'Sullivan, egg merchant, Killorglin, owing to a mistake made by a telegraph operator in forwarding prices; whether any compensation can be given for such loss; and whether he can take steps that such mistakes involving merchants in loss shall not be repeated.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINWith regard to the first two questions I can only refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave him on the 25th ultimo.† With respect to the third, I fear it is impossible to ensure immunity from mistakes, but every possible care will be taken to avoid them.
