Mr. CATHCART WASONasked the Postmaster-General if his attention has been directed to the claim of the Post Office on a small sum of money deposited in the name of Christopher Robert Edwardson, lately deceased; and whether, in view of the fact that Miss Edwardson had brought the deceased up from infancy and had provided him with board and lodging 216 for 40 years, and had also transferred to his credit a sum of money which stood in her name, he will order the payment of the money standing in the deceased's name to be paid to Miss Edwardson, and to which she is legally entitled for expenses out of pocket?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Buxton)I am aware of the claim to which my hon. Friend refers, but I have no power to act in the matter. Any application for the money must be addressed to the King's and Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer at Edinburgh, and Miss Edwardson has been so informed.
