§ MR. JAMES O'CONNOR (Wicklow, W.)To ask the Postmaster-General under what regulation or Act of Parliament he exercises the right to dismiss an established officer of long service, entitled to the benefits of the Superannuation Acts, 1884 and 1887, and against whom no direct charge of misconduct is made or proved.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) Under my patent of appointment I have full power and authority to appoint and remove such officers as I may think necessary.
