§ MR. NANNETTI (Dublin, College Green)I beg to ask the Postmaster-General if he is aware that it is the custom to send men appointed on the telegraph side in Dublin to the sorting office at a moment's notice, where they have to take up duties which they are unaccustomed to; if when employed in the sorting office these men make mistakes, will their want of practice be taken into account when their increments are considered; and, when they eventually return to the telegraph room, will due allowance be made for their absence from the instruments if any mistakes are made in important public messages.
LORD STANLEYI have no information, but I will make inquiry on the subject to which the hon. Member refers.
