§ MR. JAMES O'CONNOR (Wicklow, W.)To ask the Postmaster-General whether it is any part of the duty of a supervising officer in the telegraph service to satisfy himself as to the authenticity of telegrams originating in or passing through his office.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) The duty of a supervising officer in this matter would be dictated by circumstances, which vary so greatly that I am unable to give an Answer in general terms.
