§ In answer to Mr. PINNEY,
§ MR. LABOUCHEREsaid, all that bad taken place on this subject was, that the Commissioners appointed to consider the question, in conformity with the Address of the House, had presented their report, which was now on the table of the House. He could not enter into the details of that report further than that its general tenour was, that the regulation for the entire suspension of the delivery and transmission of mails on Sundays should be repealed, and that they should revert to the transmission and delivery of letters on Sundays, accom- 1078 panied with such regulations as they hoped would afford to the persons employed in the Post Office such rest on the Sunday as was consistent with a due regard to the paramount interests of society at large. That was the general purport of the report. The Treasury had not yet had time to consider it. At the same time, he believed that the Treasury would be satisfied with the report, and carry the recommendations of the Committee into effect.
