§ MR. NANNETTI (Dublin, College Green)To ask the Postmaster-General if he will state on what date was the report, made on the 5th of May, 1903, by a superintendent of the Sorting Office Dublin, ascribing to design and fraud the withholding of increases of salary which had accrued to five town sub-postmasters, submitted to his predecessor; and what were the respective salaries of the town sub-postmasters of Harcourt Road and Harcourt Street, Dublin, when the clerical error which is alleged as the reason for the nonpayment of the increase of salary at the former office was made.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) The report referred to by the hon. Member was laid before my predecessor on the 27th of May, 1903, and again on the 20th of July, 1903. The respective salaries of the town sub-postmasters at Harcourt Road and Harcourt Street, Dublin, at the time alluded to by the hon. Member were £41 14s. and £17 12s.
