§ MR. J. O'CONNOR (Tipperary, S.)asked the Postmaster General, Whether he received a Memorial from the inhabitants of Newport, County Tipperary, praying to have a mid-day arrival and morning despatch of mails in connection with that town; and, what steps, if any, he has taken to meet the wishes of the Memorialists?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)A Memorial such as the hon. Member describes was received from Newport, County Tipperary, in October last; but as it was found that the existing service in connection with the night mail was carried on at a loss, I was unable to sanction the additional expenditure for the establishment of a second post.
