§ MR. JONESasked the Postmaster General, If he can hold out any hope that the upper portion of the county of Carmarthen, comprising a district of between thirty and forty thousand inhabitants, will soon have the benefit of the postal telegraphic system; and, if he can explain the cause of the delay in completing such communication, inasmuch as the wires connecting the various Post Offices with the Railway stations have been erected for a period of eighteen months, and have remained ever since in an useless and unproductive state?
§ MR. MONSELLin reply, said, that the opening of the postal telegraph offices of Llandilo, Llangadoch, and Llandovery, upon the Llanelly line of railway, had been delayed by the objection of the Railway Company to allow the wires which had been erected to be brought into use until the agreement with the Department had been formally executed. That agreement would now very shortly be in force, and the postal telegraph offices would at once be opened.
