MR. FIELDI beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he will grant the same privilege to rural and county postmen as that enjoyed by city postmen on Easter Mondays and Bank Holidays generally?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. A. MORLEY,) Nottingham, E.The rural postmen do, as near as possible, enjoy the same privileges as town postmen on the days mentioned—i.e., they are relieved from duty early in the day, and they receive extra pay for all the work which they perform. The duties could not be further curtailed without putting the public to serious inconvenience.
