§ MR. NANNETTII beg to ask the Postmaster-General if he will explain why the arears of salary from 1st May, 1902, which he has now directed to be paid in the case of the town sub-postmaster of Harcourt Road, Dublin, and which are alleged to have been withheld purely through inadvertence, were not allowed in May. 1903, when the Postmaster-General's attention was specifically directed in an official report to the fact that the payment was being designedly withheld; and if he will state who is responsible for the allegation that the withholding of the payment up to the present has been due purely to inadvertence.
LORD STANLEYI am making further inquiry into the subject of the hon. Member's Question, and I will communicate the result to him.
