§ MR. YOUNGI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he has received a copy of a memorial sent to the Postmaster General in reference to a Sunday delivery, which is asked for under peculiar circumstances, at Lievenenass and Kill, near Cootehill, county Cavan; and whether he can see his way to grant the prayer of the memorial?
§ MR. HANBURYThe Postmaster General has received the memorial referred to. Under regulations of long standing an application for a Sunday delivery in a rural district can only be granted if made by persons receiving not less than two thirds of the correspondence affected. Returns of the correspondence for the district referred to are now being taken, in order to ascertain whether the memorialists receive the necessary proportion of the letters, and the result shall be communicated to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
