§ MR. W. ABRAHAM(for Mr. McDERMOTT,) Kilkenny, N.I beg to ask the Postmaster General, with reference to the improvement of the postal communication between Woodford and Whitegate, whether he is aware that the people of the district are of opinion that the additional cost of giving the extension required, would be amply covered by the increased number of letters which such extension would bring; and whether, considering the great inconvenience to the district of the present system, he will consider the desirability of giving the proposed extension a trial for at least one year?
§ SIR J. FERGUSSONI regret to say that the reports made to me show that the receipts would be altogether incommensurate with the cost, and I am therefore unable to give the service desired.
