§ Mr. SHEEHYasked the Postmaster-General whether it is optional with a postmaster not to deliver letters and telegrams to a man with whom he is not on friendly terms on the grounds of insufficient address, though he has no reasonable grounds for supposing that the letters and telegrams are for another man of the same name whose position and occupation would not suggest the probability of such being sent to him; whether he is aware that Thomas Geraghty, postmaster of Drumree, county Meath, is in the habit of thus treating the correspondence of Mr. Patrick Fox; and, if so, will a stop be put to this practice?
§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Herbert Samuel)Letters and telegrams addressed "Fox, Drumree," are, in accordance with instructions, properly treated as undeliverable for want of a true address, as there are two persons both named Fox, both jobmasters, and both living in Drumree, who lay claim to anything addressed "Fox, Drumree."
