§ MR. J. WARDI beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been called to the dismissal of E. C. Feasey, of Walsall, who has been an efficient officer in the postal service for seventeen years; whether he can say what was the cause of such dismissal, 939 and if any offence was committed; whether such offence was connected with his duties in his Department or referred to some private matter; and whether he will consider the question of the man's reinstatement.
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONI have looked into the circumstances connected with the dismissal by my predecessor of E. C. Feasey, formerly a town postman at Walsall. I find that Feasey had a most unsatisfactory record and that by his private affairs he was bringing discredit on the Department. I am not prepared to consider the question of his reinstatement.
