§ MR. MITCHELL HENRYasked the Postmaster General, Whether the public will be allowed to supply themselves with telegraph cards in place of those withdrawn; and, whether, if such cards bear a proper stamp, they will be collected from the pillar post boxes and be sent out as telegraph messages?
§ LORD JOHN MANNERS,in reply, said, that for the reason which he assigned the other day, the telegraph cards had ceased to exist; but the telegraph message forms, with which the public were supplied, could be deposited in the pillar post boxes, whence they would be collected and despatched. For obvious reasons the latter were much less likely to be mistaken for letters, than were the old telegraph cards to be mistaken for halfpenny cards.
