§ MR. FLAVINI beg to ask the Postmaster General if in the ordinary course of transmission a parcel for Cork posted in London early on 1112 Wednesday should have been delivered before the following Friday; whether the Postal authorities are justified in saying that such delivery was within a reasonable time; and whether the Post Office officials are correct in stating that they are not obliged to deliver Parcel Post parcels promptly?
§ SIR J. FERGUSSONIf for Cork itself it should have been delivered on Thursday afternoon; if for a place outside Cork, on Friday morning. Such would be reasonable. The rule is that parcels are to be delivered without delay, provided that the delivery of letters is not impeded.
