§ MR. W. J. CORBET (Wicklow, E.)asked the Secretary to the Treasury, "Whether a sum of only seven shillings a week is paid to the postman for the daily carriage of letters and parcels post between Ballinglen and Moyne, the distance travelled on foot being four statute miles each way, and for a similar service for three days between Moyne and Aughavanna three shillings and sixpence for five statute miles journey each way; whether he is aware that the mountainous and exposed character of the roads makes the duty, especially in winter, very severe; and, will he bring the matter under the notice of the postmaster at Dublin, with a view of having this man adequately remunerated?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HENRY H. FOWLER) (Wolverhampton, E.), in reply, said, the facts were as stated in the Question, and 450 he would lay the facts before the Postmaster Genera], in order to obtain for the man larger payment.
