§ CAPTAIN NOLANasked the Postmaster General, If he can state how many posts run north and south across a line drawn on the map between the two towns of Cong and Athlone, and what is the distance between these two towns; and, to name the towns between which such cross posts run, and to state how many hours after the arrival of the post in Tuam, county of Galway, it is forwarded to Claremorris in county of Mayo?
§ LORD JOHN MANNERSThere are no mail lines which run north and south across a line between Cong and Athlone. Speaking generally, the district south of such a line is connected with the mail lines from Galway, and the district north with the mail lines to and from Westport. The distance between Cong and Athlone is about 57 miles. The post is not forwarded viâ Tuam, but by mail from Westport.
