§ MR. BARTON (Armagh, Mid)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether a Petition has been received by him from the merchants of Portadown and inhabitants of the townlands of Ballinagore, Derryanville Derrycorey, Derrycarn, and Derrymacfal, near Portadown, asking for a rural post delivery to these townlands; whether the prayer of the Petition has been inquired into, and reported on by the Inspector; whether the result of such inquiry and report is favourable to the prayer of the petitioners; and whether, in view of the present serious inconvenience to persons residing in the locality, a rural post delivery will be granted for the district?
§ SIR J. FERGUSSONSuch a Memorial has been received. The arrangement desired by the memorialists appears to be convenient, and I hope that it may be found practicable to adopt it.
