MR. KENNARDasked the Acting Postmaster General, Whether Indian letters could henceforward share the privilege accorded to Continental letters every night, of being posted at Charing Cross and Cannon Street in late boxes, seeing that Indian and Continental 308 letters are conveyed in the same trains and boats so far as England is concerned?
§ MR. SHAW LEFEVREI fear that the privilege the hon. Member refers to cannot be extended to Indian letters. The foreign letters so dealt with are sorted in the train on the way to Dover; but it is considered that, looking to the great bulk and importance of the Indian weekly mail, and the limited time between London and Dover, it would not be advisable to adopt this arrangement with regard to letters to the East.
