HC Deb 05 May 1856 vol 141 c2030
VISCOUNT BERNARD

said, he wished to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether it was intended to make any alteration in the present mode of conducting the postal communication in the county of Cork, and to make use of the Cork and Bandon Railway for the conveyance of the mails?

MR. WILSON

said, that, as he had already stated during the course of the last Session, the Cork and Bandon Railway Company demanded for the conveyance of the mails along their line a sum which was considered disproportioned to the service to be performed, and the line could not, therefore, be used for that purpose.
