§ The POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Herbert Samuel)The facts, to which my attention had not previously been called, are as stated. The sub-postmaster of Winton has committed a breach of the published rules of the Post Office. I have taken steps to ensure the proper observance of the rules now and in future.
