General Post Office, Dublin, 
15 April 1836. J 



Aug, Gcdby. 



-( 4 .)- 

A RETURN showing any Measures adopted for the Improvement of the System of Management 
in the General Post Office, Dublin, which have been carried into efect since 5th January 
1S31 ; distinguisbbg the Office where such Measures have been adopted. 



SECBETAnv’s Office. 

THE whole of the correspondence of the department (excepting on mail coach business) with Post- 
masters, and with the public has been brought into the Secretary’s Office, and thus the Secretary 
has official knowledge of every circumstance referred to it. Formerly the heads of the different 
offices corresponded with Postmasters, levied fines against them, and authorized incidental claims; 
but a fine cannot now be struck against any Deputy-postmaster or other officer without the special 
order of tlie Postmaster-general, and all incidental claims are first signed by the Surveyor of the 
district, and then examined by the Secretary before they are allowed. 

The remittances received from Postmasters are uniformly acknowledged on the day of arrival, 
instead of the following day, as was frequently the practice ; all these acknowledgments are signed 
by the Secretary in place of the Remittance-clerk, and the Secretary daily compares the entries 
with the acknowledgments, and sees that every remittance has been signed for by the Receiver- 
general, to whom it is paid over. 

A weekly return of each Postmaster’s account, as far as an account current can be shown, being 
prepared by the Accountant-general and submitted to the Secretary, defaulters are peremptorily 
called upon to pay the balances due, and failing to do so, on the first application, the Solicitor is next 
directed to apply to them, and, in t!ie case of habitual defaulters, to their sureties also ; and. this is 
done at the expense of the Postmasters. In this manner the sums due are comparatively small, and 
the sureties are proportionably protected, as, when the Solicitor’s effects are ineffectual, the Post- 
master-general is apprised of the steps taken, and dismission invariably follows a report of one who 
has been incorrigibly irregular. The produce and disbursements of every office are more frequently 
calculated, in order that the average instalment may be as near the net revenue as possible, and 
tending to diminish arrears and responsibility of sureties. 

Instead of a Clerk of the Minutes being in the Secretary’s Office, whose duty it was to enter the 
heads of all impoi-tant letters for the information of the Postmaster-general, and, under the direction 
of the Secretary^ to prepare orders upon them for their Lordships’ sanction, these formal minutes 
have been abrogated, and all letters or applications which require the decision of the Postmaster- 
general, are submitted by the Secretary (through the Secretary in London), with his opinion in full, 
and in a separate report on each case, he first having referred it, when necessary, to tlie subordinate 
officer whose province it may affect. These applications, either from Postmasters, commercial 
bodies, or country gentlemen, are generally referred to the Surveyors of the respective districts, 
and their reports invariably accompany the Secretary’s, so that the Postmaster-general has before 
him the opinion of all the officers to whom the subject relates before he decides. 

The Surveyors may be termed a distant portion or outwork of the Secretary's Office; they act 
under the control of the Secretary, but they have each a particular district in which they can travel 
at their discretion, provided they have duty to require their attendance ; and every month they are 
obliged to give, in detail, journals of their proceedings. These are strictly examined by the Secre- 
tary, who lias thus constantly phaced before him the whole M'orking of the ma^inery of the department ;

EETURNS RELATING TO THE GENERAL POST OFFICE, IRELAND 

as the Surveyors have the management of all the mail-cars and horse and foot posts of each 
they also give a monthly report. Surveyors constantly correspond with Postmasters in thei ? 
and Mail Contractors and others on official subjects ; but any new proposition or formidaW^'"^^'^'^^' 
laricy they must and do submit to the Secretary, who brings them under the notice of the Pn ^ 
general. The former system was to apportion a part of Ireland to each Surveyor • but h 

confined to a particular district, and he had not the immediate management of tliep'osts or 

which were sent daily to Dublin, and examined in the Mail-coach Office; neither had g 
authoiity to travel without the Secretaiy’s order; and they were therefore far less 
responsibly employed tlian at present, where they are desired and expected to point out a ^ 
for every substantial inconvenience in the post communications, and to suggest improveme^r**'^^ 
well as to maintain discipline throughout their districts in the conduct of the several offices d ^ 
the regularity and management of the mail conveyances. ' 

The former system was to place the horse-posts and mail-cars in the hands, almost exclusivol 
Postmasters, at a certain rate of payment throughout the country, without opening them f 
petition. The Suiweyors now make inquiry, and report the lowest terms tliey can. obtain°*wvT 
report is submitted to the Postmaster-general ; and no contract is made without the special auth 
ri^ of his Lordship, and the most advantageous terms for the public each case will admit are th'°°* 
fore obtained. This practice has led to a superior mode of conveyance, by the very general ‘ 
duction of two-wheeled vehicles on the cross lines : all subletting, which was previouSy permkted' 
is wholly prohibited ; and the surveyors are responsible that all allowances for conveyances as well 
as every other payment Postmasters are ordei-ed to make, are bond fide applied to the nurnoses fni- 
which they are granted. Although they negociate the contracts, yet none can be ratified until suli 
miUed to the Postoaster genera), with a report of the grounds on which the Surveyor forms hi« 
opinion of the eligibility of such as he recommends. ^ 

All the principal towns in Ireland have Leiter-carriei-s paid out of the revenue, who deliver 
letters, on all arrivals of the mails, to the inhabitants free of expense, instead of the former mode of 
allowing Postmasters to employ persons for this duty, and to charge a fee for tlie delivery as in 
Dublin only were any official carriers. Thus the inhabitants are relieved from a tax more authorized 
by custom than by law, accommodation is extended, and many letters are delivered which were 
previously returned. 

The whole check on stationery, binding, printing, stamps and mail bags, &c., is now in the Secte 
tary's Office : formerly it was spread over the different offices, All orders are given by the authority 
alone of the Secretary, and all accounts compared subsequently with the orders ; the articles too are 
exclusively issued from the Secretary’s Office, after being compared with the orders for suuplv 
The reduction in the contracts for stamps and mail-bags has been very considerable. 

Much of the duty for which the Solicitor was paid is now performed in the Secretary’s Office • and 
in place of his corresponding, for information as to the solvency of proposed sureties for a’new 
Clerk or Postmaster, all the necessary certificates are obtained previously, and sent to him, whose 
duty afterwards is simply to prepare a bond ; nor is he required to apply to sureties in case of 
defaulters, until ample notice has been given to the parties ; his bills of costs have consequently been 
very much reduced. ^ ^ 

Tlie Secretary daily examines a report of the proceedings of the inland department, which he 
personally inspects frequently, and issues orders to it daily, as required, respecting alterations or 
improvements. Neither in it nor in any oUier office can a Clerk be suspended without the order of 
the Secretary, and the case being submitted to the Postmaster-general. 

The number of missing letters and newspapers have decreased; and as I't is known that, upon 
every application respecting the loss of a letter, the strictest examination is made, and a record 
kept of the names of every Clerk, Postmaster and Letter-carrier, through whose hands, in regular 
coui-se, It should have passed, more care and anxiety to avoid in-egularity may have been induced. 

1 bus, as may probably appear from the preceding observations, the Secretary’s Office is the main- 
spring of the department, both in Dublin and throughout the country; it is the sole medium of com- 
muniMtion, on official subjects, between the Postmaster-general and his officers. Looking at the num- 
her of new offices established, new communications opened, extension of free delivery round Dublin, 
the general acceleration ot the mails the more quick circulation of letters by cross posts, the supe- 
rior conveyances, and both the reduction of the Postmaster’s balances, and 'of the general expense of 
manag^ent mr the period which the return to which these observations refer embraces, it is 
respectfully submitted that a just idea may be formed whctlier the time has been mis-spent.

The following Alterations and Improvements have been made in the Receiver-general’s Office 
since 5 January 1831. 

are obliged to pay tlie whole amount of their charge into the Receiver- 
general s Office every second day ; when any Carrier is in arrear, he is reported to the Secretary 
on the evenmg ot the same day. No money is received on account from any Letter-carrier; for- 
merly the arrear due by Letter-carriers, from the practice of receiving money on account, varied 
from 50 1. to 200 1 . per week. ® ^ 

.U sum received from_ the Carriers is lodged in the Bank of Ireland, to the credit of 

the Postmaster-general, on the following day ; formerly the lodgments were made weekly, and there 
week the head of “ Silver not lodged,” amounting sometimes from lOoL to 900 1 . per 

3. The^ whole amouw of postage received in the Alphabet Office is paid every second day into 
the Receiver-general’s Office, no money being received from this office on account, from which 
formerly an arrear arose varying from 200/. to 1,100 Z. per week. 

4. 'The remittances received from the Secretary’s Office are acknowledged by the Receiver- 
general, and entered m the cash book daily, and not weekly as heretofore. 

5. Ihe Money Order Office paj’s each day the whole amount of the money orders remitted by 

^uty Postmasters whereas the former practice was to pay sums on account weekly.

in one cheque, and place it to the credit of his own private account, paying the parries to whom

Is addition to the duties hitherto performed in this office, the following improvements and altera- 
tion's have been carried into effect since 5th January 1831 ; viz — The examination of the bye and 
crossroad vouchers of 322 towns; also making out a list of surcharges or differences existing 
between the country Postmasters, and furnishing lists of the same, transferred to this department 
ffom the Dead Letter Office: also the examination of tlie general bills and vouchers, by the 
consolidation of the Letter BUI Office with this office : the examination of the monthly accounts 
connected with 144 sub-offices and 210 penny posts, thus making the Accountant’s Office the 
sole office of charge ; the making out an account quarterly of allowances for salaries and riding 
work to Deputy Postmasters, transferred from the Secretary’s Office ; calculating the instalments 
Quarterly on the revenue of the different post-toivns, and calling on such Postmasters weekly as 
may not have remitted: making out an account of credits for ship-letters and incidental allow- 
ances to Deputy Postmasters, hitherto performed in the Secretan^’s Office : the examination 
of mail-guards' account of wages each quarter, for the purpose of placing same to the credit 
of the respective Postmasters : making out quarterly the following accounts, hitherto performed 
in other offices, viz. salaries and allowances to the Dublin-office, salaries to receiving-houses, 
toll duties to the trustees of mail-coach roads, account of superannuations and compensations: 
raakiDg out all returns relating to the accounts called for by Parliament, as part of the routine 
dudes of this office : making up and sending off quarterly all the forms of accounts and letter-bills, 
for the different Country, Sub and Penny Post-offices in Ireland: the countersigning and entering 
all drafts on the bank for each individual, for salary, mileage, tolls, pensions, &c,, by which means 
the former practice of leaving a large sura of money in the Receiver-general’s hands is prevented, as 
no credit for any payment whatsoever is given to him by the Accountant-general vritliout the money 
having been actually disbursed, and a legal discharge obtained for the same: making out an 
account weekly of all wages, *c. to carriers, porters, messengers, servants, &c. : checking the 
charges for postage daily on the Letter-carriers, Alphabet aud Paid Window : keeping accounts 
with the following towns, hitherto kept in the British Mail-office, viz. Manchester, Liverpool, Holy- 
head, Bath, Birmingham, Bangor, Chester, Bristol, Glasgow and Edinburgh ; and making out a 
monthly return of same for the information of the London aud Edinburgh Offices : tlie examina- 
tion of accounts connected with 12 Twopenny Posts, established in the vicinity^ of Dublin ; checking 
tlie charges on each Postmaster for newspapers taxed by them for containing written communi- 
cations : ■finally, making up and furnishing in detail ^quarterly abstracts of the whole of the charge 
and discharge, supported and vouched, for examination by the Audit Office in London.

Dead Letter Office. 

On the 6th July 1831 a new system of accounts was brought into operation in the Dead Letter 
Office, Dublin, by wliicli a perfect check was established on the claims for all re-directed letters, 
whether transmitted by cross-post or sent to Dublin. , . , 1 1 • 

In the previous system of accounts a form of check had been devised over the claims lor re- 
directed letters going by cross-post, but from those forms having been transmitted dmly they 
became, from their very great number, such an incongruous mass in tlie Dead Letter Office as to 
baffle any attempt at arrangement, and consequently they were wholly inoperative as a (ffieck on the 
claims in the quarterly accounts ; thus the chief security lay in the oath attached to the foot ot those 
accounts, veriiying that the claims therein were correct; whereas now the vouchers that accompany 
those letters are classified in the offices receiving them, according to their dates and towns, and 
being transmitted monthly instead of daily, become a perfect operative check, applicable to each 
individual letter of the tliousands passing through the country that form this head of credit ; and 
the credits given in this department amount to about 25,000 t. annually, composed too of small sums 
of postage, yet a single penny does not pass unless supported by its proper voucher. 

In JanuaiT 1834 an improvement was made in the Dead Letter Office, Dublin, in those fo^s of 
account that accompany the dead and refused lettere and taxed newsxtapers sent up for credit by the 
several Postmasters. In the form of account previously introduced there was but one money 
column, in which the amount of letters, . of newspapers that arrive taxed, . and of newspapers that 
the Deputy himself taxed for containing written communications, were whilst discriminat^^^ 
claimed for together in one sum. It was observed in the Dead Letter Office, _ Dublin, that this left 
open a door for fraud, as any PostmiBter might direct as many newsfiapers with writing in them for 
his own town as he pleased, tax them with heavy postage, and obtain credit for them in the Dead 
Letter Office, though he never accounted for the postage. To obviate this, the form of account 
alluded to is now divided into three branches, the first for letters, the second for newspapers that 
are charged by some other Postmaster, and the third for such newspapers for his own delivery as he 
himself has taxed with postage. Thus at the close of each month a small docket accompanies his 
debiting account, in which the amount of the third claim is entered, and which docket, when certi- 
fied in tlie Accountaut-general’s Office that the amount has been brought in diarge, becomes the 
voucher that the third claim in the dead letter account is correct, for otherwise a fraudulent Post- 
master might manufacture as many claims of this nature as he pleased without accounting for the 
postage ; indeed it was the detection of a fraud of this nature pracused by one of the Deputy 
Postmasters that caused the new system of accounts just mentioned to be devised m this omce.

Letter Bills for one year preceding, and the Vouchers for two years preceding, were retained. 

They were sold to Mr. Tallon, Paper-merchant, Little Britain-street, by weight, and produced 
£.42. ii«. Qd., and with the sanction of. long custom and the knowledge of the Secretary. 

The proceeds of Waste-paper since August 1834, are paid into the Revenue, annually, by order

Dead Letter Office. 

Sales of the Waste-paper of the Dead r,etter Office were made in the year 1831, as well as in 
every year previous 10 it, and every year subsequently ; but no Book, Voucher or Account formed 
any part of those papers; the amount of these Bales averages upwards of £.4.0 annually; and up 
to August 1834, the amount always belonged to the head of the office, as his perquisite. yi<ie 
i8th Report of the Commissioners of Revenue Inquiry, page 153; and iCjth Report, page 203- 
besides, this perquisite was always stated to exist In the several returns from this office, that were 
called for at various periods by the Lords of the Treasury. 

Since August 1834, the proceeds of the Waste-paper of diis office is paid by order of his lord- 
ship, the Postmaster-general, to the account of the Public Revenue ; and the amoimt for the 
year ending August 1 835 paid to the Receiver-general was £. 42. lo-s. 7 d. 

The Sales of the Waste-paper of this office are rendered necessary to prevent the too great accu- 
mulation of them ; and the authority for them, is “ long custom,” and the sanction of the Secretary • 
these papers are sold by weight ; and Mr. Thomas Liddy, paper-manufacturer, of Upper Ormond 
Quay, is the person who buys them. 

All the Registrations of Property Letters and all the other books of the Dead Letter Office are 
perfect, and are preserved in the office.
