Lieut.-Colonel W. GUINNESSasked the Postmaster-General whether, since Monday last, the delivery of telegrams from the Dublin central telegraph office has ceased at 11 p.m., and from that hour till 5 a.m. no telegrams have been delivered; whether the postal authorities in Dublin allege that this is due to the refusal of night messengers to deliver telegrams under the new military regulations; and whether it is intended that the citizens of Dublin, and particularly the Dublin newspapers, should be left without telegraphic communication during the hours named?
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHI would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave yesterday in the House to a question on the same subject by the hon. Member for Waterford (Captain Redmond).
