§ MR. REDMONDasked the Postmaster General, If his attention has been directed to the observations of Mr. Baron Dowse, at the recent Wexford Assizes, in sentencing a letter carrier, named Patrick Cullen, to twelve months' imprisonment for stealing a letter containing a two shilling piece; and if he could hold out any hope that the present pay of country letter carriers will be raised
§ LORD JOHN MANNERS, in reply, said, he had not had an opportunity of reading the remarks of the Judge alluded to, but he understood that the subject was receiving attention in the proper quarter. The salaries of these letter carriers were being continually revised, and if in this particular case, after inquiry, it was found that the pay was insufficient, it would be increased.
