§ MR. MATTHEW KENNY (Tyrone, Mid)I beg to ask the Postmaster General what steps have been taken by the Postal Authorities to trace a letter addressed to the manager of the Ulster Bank, Omagh, by Mr. John Leeman, of Aughnagar, County Tyrone, and handed to the rural postman on 17th March last, which, although it had only to be sent eight miles, has not been delivered?
§ *THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON,) Manchester, N.E.Although the distance was a short one the letter would pass through 188 several offices on its way to Omagh. The sender did not take the precaution of registering it, although it contained bank notes, and hence no record would be kept of its passage through any of them. Every effort has been made, and is still being made by personal inquiry, to discover what has become of the letter.
